Daniel and Stanley leave Stanley's house at the same time. Daniel drives north and Stanley drives west. Daniel's average speed i

s 11 mph slower than Stanley's. At the end of one hour, they are 45 miles apart. Find Stanley's average speed. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

Answer: Stanley's average speed is 28 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Stanley's average speed.

Daniel's average speed is 11 mph slower than Stanley's. This means that Daniel's average speed is

(x - 11) mph.

Distance = speed × time

At the end of one hour, they are 45 miles apart. Distance covered by Stanley after 1 hour would be

x × 1 = x miles

Distance covered by Daniel after 1 hour would be

1 × (x - 11) = (x - 11) miles.

Since the total distance covered is 45 miles, then

x + x - 11 = 45

2x = 45 + 11

2x = 56

x = 56/2

x = 28 mph

Answer:

I. m = 2401

II. ((n+1) ∆ y)/n = 1/n[(n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1]

Step-by-step explanation:

I. Determination of m

x ∆ y = x² − 2xy + y²

2 ∆ − 5 = √m

2² − 2(2 × –5) + (–5)² = √m

4 – 2(–10) + 25 = √m

4 + 20 + 25 = √m

49 = √m

Take the square of both side

49² = m

2401 = m

m = 2401

II. Simplify ((n+1) ∆ y)/n

We'll begin by obtaining (n+1) ∆ y. This can be obtained as follow:

x ∆ y = x² − 2xy + y²

(n+1) ∆ y = (n+1)² – 2(n+1)y + y²

(n+1) ∆ y = n² + 2n + 1 – 2ny – 2y + y²

(n+1) ∆ y = n² + 2n – 2ny – 2y + y² + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = n² – 2ny + y² + 2n – 2y + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = n² – ny – ny + y² + 2n – 2y + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = n(n – y) – y(n – y) + 2(n – y) + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = (n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1

((n+1) ∆ y)/n = [(n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1] / n

((n+1) ∆ y)/n = 1/n[(n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1]

balandron [24]

Answer:

The sample size is n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The margin of error is  E =4.266

    The standard deviation is  \sigma = 2.539

From the question we are told the confidence level is  99% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.01

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.58

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

   n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ] ^2

=>  n = [\frac{2.58  *  2.539  }{4.266} ] ^2

=>  n = 2
