Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

5x = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide 5 on both sides: x = 2/5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 5(2/5) = 2
Multiply: 2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 2/5 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

(-239.4, 657.8) km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Measured CCW from the +x axis, the angle at which the airplane is traveling is 110°. Then the (x, y) components of the velocity vector are ...

(700 km/h)(cos(110°), sin(110°)) ≈ (-239.4, 657.8) km/h

Answer:

95%: (3278.354 ; 3270.083)

99% : (3221.646 ; 3278.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 12

Mean, xbar = 3250

Sample standard deviation = √1000

The 95% confidence interval :

Mean ± Margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

Tcritical at 0.05, df=12-1 = 11 ;

Tcritical at 95% = 2.20

Hence,

Margin of Error = (2.20 * √1000/√12) = 20.083

Confidence interval : 3250 ± 20.083

Lower boundary = 3250 - 20.083 = 3229.917

Upper boundary = 3250 + 20.083 = 3270.083

2.)

The 99% confidence interval :

Mean ± Margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

Tcritical at 0.01, df=12-1 = 11 ;

Tcritical at 99% = 3.106

Hence,

Margin of Error = (3.106 * √1000/√12) = 28.354

Confidence interval : 3250 ± 28.354

Lower boundary = 3250 - 28.354 = 3221.646

Upper boundary = 3250 + 28.354 = 3278.354
