A thermometer comes with a guarantee that the stated temperature differs from the actual temperature by no more than 1.5 degrees

Fahrenheit. Write an equation to represent the minimum and maximum actual temperatures when the thermometer states that the temperature is 87.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer:

The equation is;

T = 87.4 ± 1.5

Maximum value of T = 88.9 °F

Minimum value of T = 85.9 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the stated temperature as 87.4 °F

Now, we are told that this stated temperature differs from the actual temperature by no more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, if the actual temperature is T, it means that T should either be 1.5 more than 87.4 or 1.5 less than 87.4.

Thus the equation is;

87.4 ± 1.5 = T

So maximum value of T = 87.4 + 1.5 = 88.9 °F

While minimum value of T = 87.4 - 1.5 = 85.9 °F

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.18 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{100}}}=2.67  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=18 represent the ounce cups of coffee that were underfilled

\hat p=\frac{18}{100}=0.18 estimated proportion of ounce cups of coffee that were underfilled

p_o=0.1 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion it's higher than 0.1 or 10%:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.1  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.1  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.18 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{100}}}=2.67  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z>2.67)=0.0037  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance thetrue proportion is not significanlty higher than 0.1 or 10% .

Position vectors m and n have terminal points of (2, ) and (1, y), respectively.
OLEGan [10]
This problem involves the dot product.

You must provide all info for position vector m.  Your (2,) is inadequate.

Supposing that the terminal point of vector m were (2,3), then

m dot n would equal 8, or 8 = 2*2+3*y.  Then 8 = 4 + 3y, and 4 = 3y, and y =3/4.

Please type in the terminal point of vector m and then answer this question following the above example.

love history [14]

Answer:

in steps

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - 6 x 2 + 3 = 3

(12 - 6 ÷ 2) x 3 = 27 .... ??

12 ÷ 6 + 2 x 3 = 8

12 ÷ 6 + 2 + 3 = 7

12 + 6 ÷ 2 + 3 = 18

An acorn falls from the branch of a tree to the ground 25 feet below. The distance, S, that the acorn is from the ground as it f
sukhopar [10]
The distance ( S ) is represented by the equation:
S ( t ) = - 16 t² + 25
- 16 t² + 25 = 0
- 16 t² = - 25  / · ( - 1 )
16 t² = 25
t ² = 25 / 16 
t = √( 25/16) = 5/4 = 1.25 s  ( we will not accept the negative value )
Answer:
The acorn is moving trough the air for 1.25 seconds.
