Complete question :

From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi, two trains left simultaneously towards each other. The speed of one train was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other one. In 5 hours the trains had not met yet and were 170 mi apart. Find the speed of the trains.

Answer:

Train A = 80 miles per hour

Train B = 90 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance between A and B = 1020

Let the speed of A = x

Speed of B = x + 10

Since they both left simultaneously;

Distance traveled after 5 hours will be :

Distance = speed * time

A = x * 5 = 5x

B = (x + 10) * 5 = 5x + 50

After the distance traveled by each of A and B, they are still 170 miles apart

Hence, distance covered after 5 hours ;

Total miles - miles left

1020 - 170 = 850 miles

Hence,

5x + 5x + 50 = 850

10x = 850 - 50

10x = 800

x = 80

Train A = 80 miles per hour

Train B = 80 + 10 = 90 miles per hour

Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice crea
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

A random sample of 25 Americans was found to consume an average of 19 ounces of ice cream last month. The standard deviation for this sample was 5 ounces.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = average ounces of ice cream consumed by American per month</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 17 ounces     {means that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 17 ounces    {means that the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                                 T.S.  = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average = 19 ounces

             s = sample standard deviation = 5 ounces

             n = sample of Americans = 25

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{19-17}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{25} } }  ~ t_2_4

                               =  2

The value of the test statistics is 2.

<em>Now at 0.025 significance level, the </em><u><em>t table gives critical value of 2.06 at 24 degree of freedom for right-tailed test</em></u><em>. Since our test statistics is less than the critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to </em><u><em>which we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.
