Answer: It decreased by 24F not 10F because if it were 10F the starting temperature had to be -7F since the difference between this number and -17F is 10F but in this case it starts at 7F so we subtract 7-0=7 and 17-0=17 and add 17+7=24F.

Step-by-step explanation:

7-0=7

17-0=17

17+7=24F

A researcher compares two compounds (1 and 2) used in the manufacture of car tires that are designed to reduce braking distances
wariber [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective of this experiment is to compare two compounds, designed to reduce braking distance, used in tire manufacturing to prove if the braking distance of SUV's equipped with tires made with compound 1 is shorter than the braking distance of SUV's equipped with tires made with compound 2.

So you have 2 independent populations, SUV's equipped with tires made using compound 1 and SUV's equipped with tires made using compound 2.

Two samples of 81 braking tests are made and the braking distance was measured each time, the study variables are determined as:

X₁: Braking distance of an SUV equipped with tires made with compound one.

Its sample mean is X[bar]₁= 69 feet

And the Standard deviation S₁= 10.4 feet

X₂: Braking distance of an SUV equipped with tires made with compound two.

Its sample mean is X[bar]₂= 71 feet

And the Standard deviation S₂= 7.6 feet

We don't have any information on the distribution of the study variables, nor the sample data to test it, but since both sample sizes are large enough n₁ and n₂ ≥ 30 we can apply the central limit theorem and approximate the distribution of both variables sample means to normal.

The researcher's hypothesis, as mentioned before, is that the braking distance using compound one is less than the distance obtained using compound 2, symbolically: μ₁ < μ₂

The statistical hypotheses are:

H₀: μ₁ ≥ μ₂

H₁: μ₁ < μ₂

α: 0.05

The statistic to use to compare these two populations is a pooled Z test

Z= \frac{(X[bar]_1-X[bar]_2)-(Mu_1-Mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{S^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{S^2_2}{n_2} } }

Z ≈ N(0;1)

Z_{H_0}= \frac{69-71-0}{\sqrt{\frac{108.16}{81} +\frac{57.76}{81} } }= -1.397

The rejection region if this hypothesis test is one-tailed to the right, so you'll reject the null hypothesis to small values of the statistic. The critical value for this test is:

Z_{\alpha  } = Z_{0.05}= -1.648

Decision rule:

If Z_{H_0} > -1.648 , then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

If Z_{H_0} ≤ -1.648 , then you reject the null hypothesis.

Since the statistic value is greater than the critical value, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

At a 5% significance level, you can conclude that the average braking distance of SUV's equipped with tires manufactured used compound 1 is greater than the average braking distance of SUV's equipped with tires manufactured used compound 2.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

8 men will take 10 days to build a wall 150 metres long. After the men had started working for 6 days, they were told that the w
Mashutka [201]
First, find out how much each man works. If eight men take 10 days to build 150 m of wall, then that means that it takes 80 man days to build 150 m. One Man day is then 150÷80, in other words 1.875. If eight men have already been working for six days, then they have spent 8×6 man days, 48. 48 men days times 1.875 m of wall per man day equals 90 m of wall have been built. So, you have four days left to build the remaining 60 m of wall as well as 45 extra meters, in other words, 105 m total. 105 m divided by four days equals 26.25 m need to be built every day. Since one man builds 1.875 m of wall every day, to find the number of men total you need for the last four days, take 26.25÷1.875, Which equals 14 exactly. 14 is not the answer however, because it’s asking how many more men you need. Since you already have eight, you need six more to make 14

The answer is six more men

By [n][n] we denote the set {1,…,n}. A function f:[m]→[n] is called monotone if f(i) \leq f(j)f(i)≤f(j)whenever i &lt; ji
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

There are a total of  { 6 \choose 3} = 20 functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to define an injective monotone function from [3] to [6] we need to select 3 different values fromm {1,2,3,4,5,6} and assign the smallest one of them to 1, asign the intermediate value to 2 and the largest value to 3. That way the function is monotone and it satisfies what the problem asks.

The total way of selecting injective monotone functions is, therefore, the total amount of ways to pick 3 elements from a set of 6. That number is the combinatorial number of 6 with 3, in other words

{6 \choose 3} = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!} = \frac{720}{6*6} = \frac{720}{36} = 20

How to solve a this multi-step equation: o + 6 - 2o = -8
jekas [21]
O+6-2O=-8

subtract 6 from both sides

the equation is then O-2O=-14

combine like terms on the left side

the equation is then -O=-14

divide by -1


final answer is O=14
