Two high-speed ferries leave at the same time from a city to go to the same island. The first ferry, the Cat, travels at 34 m

iles per hour. The second ferry, the Bird, travels at 29 miles per hour. In how many hours will the two ferries be 5miles apart

Answer:

They will be 5 miles apart in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the time it will take for the two ferries to be 5 miles apart

Mathematically; distance = speed * time

Let the number of hours be x

In x hours, the cat will have traveled 34 * x = 34x miles

In x hours, the Bird will have traveled 29 * x = 29x miles

So;

34x - 29x = 5

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1 hour

$50
20 x 2 = 40, which is 80%
and then 20 divided by 2 is 10; so you add that to 40 and you get your answer

How do you use distributive property on s+0.08s?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

s(1+.08)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term is divisible by s, so that means we can divide them by s, which we get 1+.08, therefore getting s(1+.08) (or s(1.08)).

How does the volume of a cone change if the height is doubled ?

dexar [7]

If you keep the radius the same and double the height, you find that by experimentation with this a few times, doubles your volume as well. That means that instead of 1/3 pi r^2 h, we will have 2/3 pi r^2 h. Your answer B.

Consider the following hypothesis test. : : The following results are for two independent samples taken from two populations. Ex

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$z = -1.53$ --- test statistic

$p = 0.1260$ --- p value

Conclusion: Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n_1 = 80$ $\bar x_1= 104$ $\sigma_1 = 8.4$

$n_2 = 70$ $\bar x_2 = 106$ $\sigma_2 = 7.6$

$H_o: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$ --- Null hypothesis

$H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0$ ---- Alternate hypothesis

$\alpha = 0.05$

Solving (a): The test statistic

This is calculated as:

$z = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2} }}$

So, we have:

$z = \frac{104 - 106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80} + \frac{7.6^2}{70} }}$

$z = \frac{104 - 106}{\sqrt{\frac{70.56}{80} + \frac{57.76}{70}}}$

$z = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{0.8820 + 0.8251}}$

$z = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{1.7071}}$

$z = \frac{-2}{1.3066}$

$z = -1.53$

Solving (b): The p value

This is calculated as:

$p = 2 * P(Z < z)$

So, we have:

$p = 2 * P(Z < -1.53)$

Look up the z probability in the z score table. So, the expression becomes

$p = 2 * 0.0630$

$p = 0.1260$

Solving (c): With $\alpha = 0.05$ , what is the conclusion based on the p value

We have:

$\alpha = 0.05$

In (b), we have:

$p = 0.1260$

By comparison:

$p > \alpha$

i.e.

$0.1260 > 0.05$

So, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
