Good to see you here. Now back to the train. 

Kaduna, K                                                                                   Lagos, L
 
Train leaves at 64 km/h

One hour late second train leaves Lagos at 96 km/h.

At the point they meet, if first train has been travelling for "x" hours. Second train has been travelling for (x-1) hour.

At the point the meet, the total distance travelled is equal to 624 km.

Therefore:

64(x) + 96(x-1) = 624
64x + 96x - 96 = 624
160x = 624+96
160x =       720             , x = 720/160 = 4.5

So when they meet, the first train which left Kaduna has travelled= 64x = 64*4.5= 288km from Kaduna.

So it is (624-288) km from Lagos. = 336 Km from Lagos.

Second train which left Lagos has travelled = 96(x-1) = 96(4.5-1) = 336km.
The second train is also 336 km away from Lagos.

Cheers.

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.262(3)}{0.25})^2 =736.79 \approx 737

So the answer for this case would be n=737 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given:

\bar X = 12 the sample mean

s = 3 the sample deviation

n = 10 represent the sample size

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df =n-1 =10-1=9

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =0.25 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{t_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2   (5)

The confidence level is 95% and the critical value for this case would be given by t_{\alpha/2}=2.262, replacing into formula (5) we got:

n=(\frac{2.262(3)}{0.25})^2 =736.79 \approx 737

So the answer for this case would be n=737 rounded up to the nearest integer
