Answer:  The required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a sprinter can run 279 feet in 9 seconds.

We are to find the sprinter's unit rate of feet per second.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

According to the given information, we have

In 9 second, distance run by the sprinter = 279 feet.

Therefore, in 1 second, the distance run by sprinter will be

\dfrac{279}{9}=31~\textup{feet per second}.

Thus, the required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

279ft/9sec = xft/1sec
Cross multiply to get
9x = 279 divide by 9
x = 31
31 feet per second

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population mean is  \mu = 15 \ months

   The sample size is  n =  25

   The sample mean is  \= x  = 17 \ months

   The standard deviation is  s = 5.5 \ months

Let assume the level of significance of this test is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 15

     The alternative hypothesis is  H_a : \mu  > 17

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as  

         df = n -1

=>       df = 25 -1

=>       df = 24

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        t = \frac{\= x- \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>   t = \frac{ 17 - 15 }{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }

=>   t =  1.8182

Generally from the student t distribution table the probability of obtaining   t =  1.8182 to the right of the curve at a degree of freedom of df = 24  is  

    p-value  = P(t > 0.18182 ) = 0.4286

From the value obtained we see that  p-value > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is  supported by the trial results.
