A plane traveled 1456 miles to Bangkok and back. The trip there was with the wind. It took 13 hours. The trip back was into the

wind. The trip back took 26 hours. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.

Answer: speed of the plane in still air is 84 mph; speed of the wind is 28 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s =speed of plane in still air

let w = speed of the wind

(s+w) = ground speed with wind

(s-w) = ground speed against the wind

Then, use a distance equation for each way. Note that

distance = speed × time

13(s+w) = 1456

26(s-w) = 1456

Divide the 1st equation by 13, and divide the 2nd equation by 26, we will have:

s + w = 112

s - w = 56

Using elimination method

2s = 168

s = 168/2

s = 84

s = 84 mph plane speed in still air

s + w = 112

84 + w = 112

Wind speed, w = 112 - 84 = 28mph

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 106

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ > 106

It is a right tailed test because of >.

Since no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 241,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 241 - 1 = 240

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 109

µ = population mean = 106

s = samples standard deviation = 8.3

a) test statistic, t = (109 - 106)/(8.3/√241) = 5.61

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.00001

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.00001, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, this improvement seem to be practically​significant.

b) Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown, hence, we would use the t distribution to find the z score

df = 240

Since confidence level = 95% = 0.95, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

the area to the right of z0.025 is 0.025 and the area to the left of z0.025 is 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at the t distribution table,

z = 1.6512

Margin of error = 1.6512 × 8.3/√241

= 0.88

Confidence interval = 109 ± 0.88
