Answer:

The projectile will hit the ground after 38.8 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the height s (t) in feet of the projectile after t seconds is given by the function

s(t) = - 16t² + 600t + 800.

To know the time at which the projectile will hit the ground, you must replace s(t) by height 0:

0=- 16t² + 600t + 800

This is a quadratic function of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a= -16, b=600 and c=800.

To solve a quadratic function, you must apply the expression:

x1,x2=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}

In this case:

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-\sqrt{600^{2}-4*(-16)*800 } }{2*(-16)}

Solving:

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-\sqrt{360000+51200 } }{-32}

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-\sqrt{411200 } }{-32}

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-641.25 }{-32}

So:

x1=\frac{-600+641.25 }{-32}

x1=\frac{41.25 }{-32}

x1= -1.289 seconds

and

x2=\frac{-600-641.25 }{-32}

x2=\frac{-1241.25 }{-32}

x2= 38.789 ≅ 38.8 seconds

Time cannot be negative. So, <u><em>the projectile will hit the ground after 38.8 seconds.</em></u>

A business school has a goal that the average number of years of work experience of its MBA applicants is more than three years.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

z=\frac{3.1-3}{\frac{2.449}{\sqrt{47}}}=0.280    

p_v =P(z>0.280)=0.390  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its NOT significant higher than 0.3 at 1% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=3.1 represent the sample mean

\sigma=\sqrt{6} represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

n=47 sample size  

\mu_o =3 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 3, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{3.1-3}{\frac{2.449}{\sqrt{47}}}=0.280    

P-value

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>0.280)=0.390  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its NOT significant higher than 0.3 at 1% of signficance.

John is driving to his office to attend a meeting. In the first 10 minutes, he covers a distance of 1 mile every minute. Then he
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The total distance cover by John is 15 min to reach his office .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as ;

In the first 10 minutes , the distance cover is 1 miles every minutes

So, for 10 minutes , total distance cover by John = 10 × 1 = 10 miles

Again ,

John cover distance of 0.5 miles for every minutes , he travel for next 10 min

So, for next 10 min, total distance cover by John = 10 × 0.5 = 5 miles

So, The total distance cover by john = 10 miles + 5 miles = 15 miles

Hence The total distance cover by John is 15 min to reach his office . Answer
