Answer:

The answer is 40 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boy leaves on a bicycle trip at the rate of 8 mph.

One hour later the father, sets out by car.

Let x be the speed of the father.

Distance of boy = rate x time = 8(1.25)

Distance of father = 0.25x

We will equal both Distance = Distance

8(1.25)=0.25x

=> 10=0.25x

Multiplying both sides by 4:

40=4(0.25x)

x = 40

Hence, the answer is 40 mph.

<span>To catch him in 15 minutes the father must travel 32 miles per hour faster (since 1/4 hr * 32 mph = 8 miles)...
Thus the father must drive at 40 miles per hour. </span>

inysia [295]

Answer:

c. 9.5 lb < mu < 11.1 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be stated as M±ME where

  • M is the sample mean (10.3)
  • ME is the margin of error

margin of error (ME) around the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in 95% confidence level (1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (2.4)
  • N is the sample size (37)

Putting thesenumbers in the formula we get:

ME=\frac{1.96*2.4}{\sqrt{37} } ≈ 0.7733 ≈ 0.8

Then the 95% confidence interval would be 10.3 ± 0.8
