A round trip from Montreal to LA is 2,688 miles and takes an airline 9 hours and 20 minutes. Given the outbound trip is the same

distance as the return trip, and the speed of the plane was 25%faster on the return trip, how long did the return trip take? Answer to the nearest minute. ​

Answer:

4.074 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

r =

The formula for speed = Distance × Time

Hence,

Let the outbound speed = r

return trip speed = r + 25x/100 = 125r/100 = 1.25r

Note that: 9 hours and 20 minutes = 9.167

Let t1 and t2 be the time taken to travel on way and return journey.

t1 + t2 = 9 hr 10 min = 9.167 hrs

Hence:

2688/r + 2688/1.25r = 9.167

LCM(1.25r)

(2688 × 1.25) + 2688 /1.25r= 9.167

3360 + 2688 = 9.167 × 1.25r

6048 = 11.45875r

r = 6048/11.45875

Outbound trip rl = 527.8062615904876mph

Return trip speed = r + 25x/100 = 125r/100 = 1.25r

= 1.25 ×

659.75782699mph

Time for return trip = Distance/Speed

= 2,688 miles/659.75782699mph/

= 4.0742222222 hours

Approximately = 4.074 hours

A matched pairs experiment compares the taste of instant versus fresh-brewed coffee. Each subject tastes two unmarked cups of co
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

We conclude that the majority of people prefer the taste of fresh-brewed coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that of the 50 subjects who participate in the study, 16 prefer the instant coffee.

We have to test the claim that a majority of people prefer the taste of fresh-brewed coffee.

<em />

<u><em>Let p = proportion of the population who prefer fresh-brewed coffee</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 50%     {means that the majority of people does not prefer the taste of fresh-brewed coffee}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 50%     {means that the majority of people prefer the taste of fresh-brewed coffee}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z proportion statistics;</u>

                        T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion who prefer fresh-brewed coffee = \frac{34}{50} = 0.68

            n = sample of subjects = 50

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.68-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{50} } }  

                               =  2.73

The value of z test statistics is 2.73.

<u>Now, P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

         P-value = P(Z > 2.73) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.73)

                       = 1 - 0.99683 = 0.0032

Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now, at 5% significance level the z table gives critical values of 1.645 for right-tailed test.

<em>Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><u><em>we reject our null hypothesis</em></u><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the majority of people prefer the taste of fresh-brewed coffee.

Is the ordered pair (-2, 1) a solution to the equation - 3x + y = 5? <br>No <br>Yes​
Otrada [13]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug (-2,1) into -3x+y=5. This will make it -3(-2)+(1)=5. This is equal to 6+1=5. 7=5. 7 is not equal to 5. Therefore, (-2,1) is not a solution to the equation -3x+y=5.
