Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

Recall the experiment comparing patients 4 weeks after surgery for carpal
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

4. H0: u1= u2    Ha; u1≠ u2

5. The smaller value of p supports the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

4. The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0: u1= u2   i.e there no difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

against the claim

Ha; u1≠ u2   i.e there a difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

It can be written like this as well

H0: u1 -u2= 0   i.e there no difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

against the claim

Ha; u1 -u2≠ 0   i.e there a difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

Part 5. The test having a p- value less than 0.05  tells that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. Theres no evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

The smaller value of p supports the null hypothesis.

Think of a problem dealing with two possibly related variables (Y and X) that you may be interested in. Share your problem and d
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the variables height and weight.

It is usually seen that taller people are heavier than shorter people.

So a regression analysis can be used to specify this belief.

The statistical questions that are being asked here are:

  • What the independent and dependent variables?
  • Are there any other factor influencing the dependent variable other than the independent variable?

The variable <em>Y</em> is considered as the dependent variable and the variable <em>Y</em> is considered as the independent variable.  And the main purpose of the regression analysis is to predict the value of <em>Y</em> when the value of <em>X</em> is given.

The linear regression model can be used to predict the past and future value of the dependent variables provided that the independent variables for those times are provided.
