Answer:
555.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Purpose of the study: To determine if women are better drivers than men.
Survey or Opinion population: 1,000
You are experimenting on 9 out of a thousand opinions.
5 of these opinions are that women are better drivers
4 of these opinions are that women are not better drivers
You want to know the <em>sample</em> (full sample size is 9) <em>proportion</em> for women as better drivers; using the large sample method. This method is also called the asymptotic method.
This involves approximating the desired statistic, with just a small fraction of the population; in this case, 9/1000.
This approximation will get more and more accurate as sample size increases and you know that a larger sample size gives a better representation and interpretation of the population preference!
So using ratio, the sample proportion for women as the better drivers is given by:
5/9 x 1000 = 555.56 opinions
Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56
0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11
Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour. Answer is 3 miles per hour
They are parallel since x and y are bottom and top
