<span>N(t) = 16t ; Distance north of spot at time t for the liner.
W(t) = 14(t-1); Distance west of spot at time t for the tanker.
d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2) ; Distance between both ships at time t.
Let's create a function to express the distance north of the spot that the luxury liner is at time t. We will use the value t as representing "the number of hours since 2 p.m." Since the liner was there at exactly 2 p.m. and is traveling 16 kph, the function is
N(t) = 16t
Now let's create the same function for how far west the tanker is from the spot. Since the tanker was there at 3 p.m. (t = 1 by the definition above), the function is slightly more complicated, and is
W(t) = 14(t-1)
The distance between the 2 ships is easy. Just use the pythagorean theorem. So
d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2)
If you want the function for d() to be expanded, just substitute the other functions, so
d(t) = sqrt((16t)^2 + (14(t-1))^2)
d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (14t-14)^2)
d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (196t^2 - 392t + 196) )
d(t) = sqrt(452t^2 - 392t + 196)</span>
Slope = 4 but I need to get to 20 characters to reply to this question. Have a nice day
Answer:
Since the calculated values is lower than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 2.5% and we can say that the true mean is lower than 36 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given
represent the sample mean
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
System of hypothesis
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 36 years old, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic is given by:
(1)
And replacing we got:
Now we can calculate the critical value but first we need to find the degreed of freedom:
So we need to find a critical value in the t distribution with df =21 who accumulates 0.025 of the area in the left and we got:
Since the calculated values is lower than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 2.5% and we can say that the true mean is lower than 36 years old
