As an airplane rises, the outside temperature drops 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit for each 1000 feat of elevation gain. Suppose the out

side temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit on the ground and -43 degrees Fahrenheit at cruising altitude. How high is the plane at cruising altitude?

7 0

Answer:

30000 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

temperature on ground level = 65 °F

temperature at cruising altitude = -43 °F

total decrease in temperature = 65 - (- 43) = 65 + 43 = 108 °F

for each 1000 feet elevation temperature drops by 3.6 °F

and we have the total drop of temperature as 108 °F.

so,  Height of plane at cruising altitude = (drop in temperature/ 3.6) X 1000

                                                                 =\frac{108}{3.6} X 1000

                                                                 = 30000 feet

g A manufacturer of sprinkler systems designed for fire protection claims that the average activating temperature is at least 13
Luden [163]

Answer:

There is enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim and  the standardized test statistic z is -3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of sprinkler systems designed for fire protection claims that the average activating temperature is at least 135°F.

So, Null hypothesis:H_0:\mu \geq 135

Alternate hypothesis :H_a:\mu

To test this claim, you randomly select a sample of 32 systems and find the mean activation temperature to be 133°F.

x=133

n = 32

Population Standard deviation =\sigma = 3.3^{\circ}F

Formula :z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{133-135}{\frac{3.3}{\sqrt{32}}}\\\\z=-3.428

z=-3.43

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.0003

\alpha = 0.10

p value < α

So, we failed to accept null hypothesis

Hence there is enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim and  the standardized test statistic z is -3.43

What is the answer 5x-3 =1/5x
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 5/8 for 5x - 3 = (1/5)x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we want to isolate our 3 from our x-values. You can add three to both sides of the equation and get it to the other side and then subtract 1/5x from 5x.

(5x - 3) + 3 = ((1/5)x) + 3

5x = (1/5)x + 3

5x = (25/5)x

((25/5)x) - (1/5)x = ((1/5)x + 3) - (1/5)x

(24/5)x = 3

From here, you would want to solve for x. This would mean multiplying 3 by 5 and dividing your product by 24.

5*3 = 15

15/24 = 5/8 = x

Hope this helps!

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: B. hours

Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us closely look at the varible <em>t</em> it gives, the one we are looking at units for. "t stands for the amount of time the workers have left to clean the windows"

         "t stands for the amount of <u>time</u> ..."

    The only unit they give that represents time is hours, meaning the answer to your question is:

     B. hours
