Challenge An airplane is preparing to land at an airport. It is 36,000 feet above the ground and is descending at the rate of 3,

500 feet per minute. At the same
airport, another airplane is taking off and will ascend at the rate of 2,500 feet per minute. When will the two airplanes be at the same altitude and what will that
altitude be? Use pencil and paper. Use two other methods to solve the problem. Explain which methods are easier to use and which are more difficult to use for the
situation

In 2015 as part of the General Social Survey, 1289 randomly selected American adults responded to this question:

Radda [10]

Answer:

B (0.312, 0.364)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence interval $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$

For this problem, we have that:

1289 randomly selected American adults responded to this question. This means that $n = 1289$ .

Of the respondents, 436 replied that America is doing about the right amount. This means that $\pi = \frac{436}{1289} = 0.3382$ .

Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for the Republican Party. 

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3382 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3382*0.6618}{1289}} = 0.312$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3382 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3382*0.6618}{1289}} = 0.364$

The 95% confidence interval is:

B (0.312, 0.364)

A recursive formula for the sequence 18,9,4.5,... is

dybincka [34]

Answer:

A1 = 18

A(n) = A (n-1) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

N represents the number in a sequence and the difference in the sequence is -2 since each time the number is listed in the sequence it is divide by 2.

How much money does the average professional hockey fan spend on food at a single hockey game? That question was posed to 10 ra

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$18-2.262\frac{2.75}{\sqrt{10}}=16.03$

$18+2.262\frac{2.75}{\sqrt{10}}=19.97$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X=18$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=2.75 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

The Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the significance is $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and the critical vaue would be $t_{\alpha/2}=2.262$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$18-2.262\frac{2.75}{\sqrt{10}}=16.03$

$18+2.262\frac{2.75}{\sqrt{10}}=19.97$

Triangle ABC has side a= 12, b=16, and c=c find the measure of angle a to the nearest whole number

Aleks04 [339]

C would equal 20. because 12 times its self plus 16 times its self equals 400. then I square 400 and got 20, which equals c
