Answer:

(832.156, \ 847.844)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

Sample standard deviation, s = 15

Sample mean, \overline x = 840

n = 23

a). 98% confidence interval

$\overline x \pm t_{(n-1, \alpha /2)}. \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$E= t_{( n-1, \alpha/2 )} \frac{s}{\sqrt n}}

$t_{(n-1 , \alpha/2)} \frac{s}{\sqrt n}$

$t_{(n-1, a\pha/2)}=t_{(22,0.01)} = 2.508$

∴ $E = 2.508 \times \frac{15}{\sqrt{23}}$

  $E = 7.844$

So, 98% CI is

$(\overline x - E, \overline x + E)$

(840-7.844 ,  \ 840+7.844)

(832.156, \ 847.844)

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 3 ft/s from a point 500
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The rate at which both of them are moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate at which the woman is walking,\frac{d(w)}{dt} = 3 ft/sec

Rate at which the man is walking,\frac{d(m)}{dt} = 2 ft/sec

Collective rate of both, \frac{d(m+w)}{dt} = 5 ft/sec

Woman starts walking after 5 mins so we have to consider total time traveled by man as (5+15) min  = 20 min

Now,

Distance traveled by man and woman are m and w ft respectively.

⇒ m=2\ ft/sec=2\times \frac{60}{min} \times 20\ min =2400\ ft

⇒ w=3\ ft/sec = 3\times \frac{60}{min} \times 15\ min =2700\  ft

As we see in the diagram (attachment) that it forms a right angled triangle and we have to calculate \frac{dh}{dt} .

Lets calculate h.

Applying Pythagoras formula.

⇒ h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2  

⇒ h=\sqrt{(2400+2700)^2+500^2} = 5124.45

Now differentiating the Pythagoras formula we can calculate the rate at which both of them are moving apart.

Differentiating with respect to time.

⇒ h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2

⇒ 2h\frac{d(h)}{dt}=2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt}  + \frac{d(500)}{dt}

⇒ \frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} }{2h}                         ...as \frac{d(500)}{dt}= 0

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ \frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(2400+2700)(5)}{2\times 5124.45}                       ...as \frac{d(m+w)}{dt} = 5 ft/sec

⇒ \frac{d(h)}{dt} =4.9761  ft/sec

So the rate from which man and woman moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.
