Satellites can be put into elliptical orbits if they need only sometimes to be in high- or low-earth orbit, thus avoiding the ne

ed for propulsion and navigation in low-earth
orbits and the expense of launching into high earth-orbit. Suppose a satellite is an elliptical orbit, with a - 4446 miles and b-4420 miles, and with the center of the Earth
being at the origin of the elipse.
a) Write an equation of the orbit of the satellite. Assume that the center of the ellipse is at the origin.
b) The earth has a radius of about 3960 miles. Find the lowest and highest altitudes from the earth to the satellite.

Answer:

a)  \frac{x^2}{4446^2}+\frac{y^2}{4420^2}=1

b)  Highest Altitude = 486 miles

Lowest Altitude = 460 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The standard form of equation of ellipse is:

\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1

If a > b, then the major axis is horizontal.

If a < b, then the major axis is vertical.

Now, given:

a = 4446

b = 4420

We can write the equation of the ellipse as:

\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\\frac{x^2}{4446^2}+\frac{y^2}{4420^2}=1

This is the equation, centered at origin.

b)

Since a > b, we can say that the major axis is horizontal and minor axis is vertical.

So, it stretches:

4446 miles from the center of the earth towards both -x and +x axis

and

4420 miles from the center of the earth towards both -y and +y axis

Since, the radius of the earth is 3960 miles, it means from center to earth's surface in all sides is 3960 miles.

The highest and lowest point altitude will be the different in x and y axis (horizontal and vertical) of the point with orbit of the satellite.

4446 - 3960 = 486 miles

and

4420 - 3960 =  460 miles

Thus,

<u>Highest Altitude = 486 miles</u>

<u>Lowest Altitude = 460 miles</u>

A study was conducted to compare the proportion of drivers in Boston and New York who wore seat belts while driving. Data were c
In-s [12.5K]

(A.)test statistic for this test using Ha: p8くPN is Z = -2.164 (B.) p-value (3 decimal places) is 0.015. (C.) Based on this p-value, which of the following would you expect for a 95% is negative. (D.) the correct conclusion is The proportion of Boston drivers wearing seat was significantly lower than the proportion of new York drivers wearing seat belts.

A.)

According to given data find the test statistic for this test using Ha:

p1 = 0.581

p2 = 0.832

standard error = SE = 0.116

<h3>Test statistics :-</h3>

Z = \frac{p1 - p2}{SE}

Z = \frac{0.581 - 0.832}{0.116} = -2.164

Z = -2.164

B.)

According to given Determine the p-value (3 decimal places).

<h3>p - value</h3>

it is left tailed test.

p - value for left tailed test is,

p - value = P(Z < test statistics )

p - value = P(Z < -2.164)

P - value = 0.015

C.)

Based on this p-value, which of the following would you expect for a 95%

confidence level = 95% = 0.95

significance level = α = 0.05

P -value is less than 0.05

so, reject null hypothesis at α = 0.05

That is P_{B} < P_{NY}

so, based on P - value , All values in the 95% confidence interval

PB - PNY  is negative.

D.)

According to given data What is the correct conclusion?

Reject null hypothesis at α = 0.05

so, P_{B} < P_{NY}

Hence, The proportion of Boston drivers wearing seat was significantly lower than the proportion of new York drivers wearing seat belts.
