How do i find the average speed for his question: "A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker at 10m/s. She then rides back al

ong the same rout from the turnaround marker at 16m/s. What is her average speed for the whole race?",

To find the average speed for the whole race, you just have to add the speed from a starting marker and the speed from the turnaround marker going back and divide it by 2 since there are only two speeds involved.

10 m/s + 16m/s = 26 m/s / 2 = 13 m/s

Therefore, the average speed for the whole race is 13 m/s.

<span>Average speed = Total Distance/Total time ------(1) Let us assume that the distance from starting marker to turnaround marker is 'x' Total distance travelled = 2x Speed from starting marker to turnaround marker , s1 = 10 m/s Speed from turnaround market to starting market , s2 - 16 m/s Let, Time taken from starting marker to turnaround marker be t1 Time taken from turnaround marker to starting marker be t2. Applying these values in equation (1), Average speed = (2x)/(t1+t2) -------(2) From (1), t1 = x/s1 = x/10 t2 = x/s2 = x/16 Substituting the above in (2), Average speed = (2x)/(x/10+x/16) m/s = (2x)/(13x/80) m/s = 160/13 m/s = 12.3 m/s We can also arrive at the average speed by using the formula 2(s1)(s2)/(s1+s2)</span>

Find the 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation given the following.
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

b. 2.01 < σ < 2.81

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is calculated as:

\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^2_{\alpha/2 } } }    < σ < \sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^2_{1-\alpha/2 } } }

Where n is equal to 51, s is equal to 2.34, \alpha is 10%, X^{2} _{\alpha /2} is the value for the Chi squared distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom that has a probability of \alpha /2 in the right tail and X^{2} _{1-\alpha /2} is the value for the Chi squared distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom that has a probability of 1-\alpha /2 in the right tail.

So, replacing n by 51, s by 2.34, X^{2} _{\alpha /2} by 67.50 and X^{2} _{1-\alpha /2} by 34.76, we get that the The 90% confidence interval is equal to:

\sqrt{\frac{(51-1)*2.34^{2} }{67.50} } } < σ <\sqrt{\frac{(51-1)*2.34^{2} }{34.76} } }

2.01 < σ < 2.81
