Answer:

no it is not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the percentages, you will find that the increase has 40% while the decrease has about 28.6%

Answer:

Interval [16.34 , 21.43]

Step-by-step explanation:

First step. Calculate the mean

$\bar X=\frac{(23+18+23+12+13+23)}{6}=18.666$

Second step. Calculate the standard deviation

$\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{(23-18.666)^2+(18-18.666)^2+(23-18.666)^2+(12-18.666)^2+(13-18.666)^2+(23-18.666)^2}{6}}$

$\sigma=\sqrt\frac{18.783+0.443+18.783+44.435+5.666+18.783}{6}$

$\sigma=\sqrt{17.815}=4.22$

As the number of data is less than 30, we must use the t-table to find the interval of confidence.

We have 6 observations, our level of confidence DF is then 6-1=5 and we want our area A to be 80% (0.08).

We must then choose t = 1.476 (see attachment)

Now, we use the formula that gives us the end points of the required interval

$\bar X \pm t\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

where n is the number of observations.

The extremes of the interval are then, rounded to the nearest hundreth, 16.34 and 21.43

Explain why if a runner completes a 6.2â-mi race in 32 âmin, then he must have been running at exactly 11 âmi/hr at least twice

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Accelerating to top speed, deaccelerating to finish line.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the runner kept a constant speed of 11 mph for the whole duration of his run (32 minutes), the distance he would have covered is:

$d=11*\frac{32}{60}\\d= 5.87\ mi$

This means that, in order to run the full 6.2 miles, the runner needs to reach a speed over 11 mph. Assume he starts from rest, while accelerating the runner reaches, and the surpasses, the 11 mph mark. Since his speed at the finish line is zero, the runner has to deaccelerate from his current running speed (which should be higher than 11 mph), passing through 11 mph and reaching zero at the finish line.
