Jamie is hiking up a small mountain. He climbs up at a constant rate of 300 feet/hour until he reaches the peak at 1,500 feet. A

fter that, he hikes down at the same rate to the base of the mountain. The equation that can be used to find the number of hours, t, after which Jamie’s distance from the peak will be 900 feet is -blank-. Jamie will be 900 feet from the peak after -blank- hours and after -blank- hours.

Answer:

a. d = 1500 - 300t. b. after 2 hours and after 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since Jamie hikes up the mountain at a rate of 300 ft/hr, and the mountain is 1500 ft high, his distance, d from the peak of the mountain at any given time,t  is given by

d = 1500 - 300t.

b.If Jamie distance d = 900 ft, then the equation becomes,

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

The equation d = 1500 - 300t. also models his distance from the peak of the  mountain if he hikes down at a constant rate of 300 ft/hr

At d = 900 ft, the equation becomes

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

So, on his hike down the mountain, it takes him another 2 hours to be 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

So, he is at 900 ft on his hike down after his start of hiking up the mountain at time t = (2 + 2) hours = 4 hours. Since it takes 2 hours to climb to the peak of he mountain and another 2 hours to climb down 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

A study was conducted to compare the proportion of drivers in Boston and New York who wore seat belts while driving. Data were c
In-s [12.5K]

(A.)test statistic for this test using Ha: p8くPN is Z = -2.164 (B.) p-value (3 decimal places) is 0.015. (C.) Based on this p-value, which of the following would you expect for a 95% is negative. (D.) the correct conclusion is The proportion of Boston drivers wearing seat was significantly lower than the proportion of new York drivers wearing seat belts.

A.)

According to given data find the test statistic for this test using Ha:

p1 = 0.581

p2 = 0.832

standard error = SE = 0.116

<h3>Test statistics :-</h3>

Z = \frac{p1 - p2}{SE}

Z = \frac{0.581 - 0.832}{0.116} = -2.164

Z = -2.164

B.)

According to given Determine the p-value (3 decimal places).

<h3>p - value</h3>

it is left tailed test.

p - value for left tailed test is,

p - value = P(Z < test statistics )

p - value = P(Z < -2.164)

P - value = 0.015

C.)

Based on this p-value, which of the following would you expect for a 95%

confidence level = 95% = 0.95

significance level = α = 0.05

P -value is less than 0.05

so, reject null hypothesis at α = 0.05

That is P_{B} < P_{NY}

so, based on P - value , All values in the 95% confidence interval

PB - PNY  is negative.

D.)

According to given data What is the correct conclusion?

Reject null hypothesis at α = 0.05

so, P_{B} < P_{NY}

Hence, The proportion of Boston drivers wearing seat was significantly lower than the proportion of new York drivers wearing seat belts.
