Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval for the mean noise level = [122.44, 151.96]

b) Sample standard deviation, s = 17.3dB

Explanation:

Noise levels at 5 airports = 147,123,119,161,136

Mean noise level

        \bar{x} =\frac{ 147+123+119+161+136}{5}=137.2dB

Variance of noise level

        \sigma^2 =\frac{ (137.2-147)^2+(137.2-123)^2+(137.2-119)^2+(137.2-161)^2+(137.2-136)^2}{5}\\\\\sigma^2=164.16

Standard deviation,

       \sigma =\sqrt{164.16}=12.81dB

a) Confidence interval  is given by

       \bar{x}-Z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\leq \mu\leq \bar{x}+Z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

For 99% confidence interval Z = 2.576,

Number of noises, n = 5

Substituting

    137.2-2.576\times \frac{12.81}{\sqrt{5}}\leq \mu\leq 137.2+2.576\times \frac{12.81}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\122.44\leq \mu\leq 151.96

The 99% confidence interval for the mean noise level = [122.44, 151.96]

b) Sample standard deviation

        s=\sqrt{\frac{ (137.2-147)^2+(137.2-123)^2+(137.2-119)^2+(137.2-161)^2+(137.2-136)^2}{5-1}}\\\\s=17.3dB

   Sample standard deviation, s = 17.3dB

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {d^2g}{2v^2}

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}

\displaystyle h=\frac  {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high
