Body armor provides critical protection for law enforcement personnel, but it does affect balance and mobility. The article "Imp

act of Police Body Armour and Equipment on Mobility" (Applied Ergonomics, 2013: 957–961) reported that for a sample of 52 male enforcement officers who underwent an acceleration task that simulated exiting a vehicle while wearing armor, the sample mean was 1.95 sec, and the sample standard deviation was .20 sec.
Does it appear that true average task time is less than 2 sec? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of .01.

Answer:

No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=2\\\\H_a:\mu< 2

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=52.

The sample mean is M=1.95.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.2}{\sqrt{52}}=0.028

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.95-2}{0.028}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.028}=-1.803

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=52-1=51

This test is a left-tailed test, with 51 degrees of freedom and t=-1.803, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0.039) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that true average task time with armor is less than 2 seconds.

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in
TEA [102]
F(x) has only one x-intercept when x=0

g(x)=-x^2-6

g(x)=-(x^2+6) so g(x) will have no x-intercepts as its maximum value will be -6.

g(x) is f(x) reflected about the x axis and shifted downwards by 6 units.

1044 fans join a club in the first month after the first month nine new members are allowed to join each month how many members
laiz [17]

Answer:

Total number of members in month 34 is 1341 members.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Number of fans join a club in first month = 1044

And after the first month nine new members are allowed to join each month.

After first month , Let the number of club members in x months will be given as:

Number of members = 1044 + 9x

We need to find number of members in month 34.

So for first month we already had 1044 members, that mean for remaining 33 months we need to calculate members.

i.e total number of members in month 34 = 1044 + (33×9 )     , {Since x = 33 here}  

OR total number of members in month 34 = 1044 + 297  = 1341 members

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a cone

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the three points on the graph it makes a triangle. As it rotates around the x axis, the points at 2,0 and 2,-2 make a circle, which becomes the base of the cone.

Enter the equations of the asymptotes for the function f(x).<br><br> f(x)= 3/x−7 + 2
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

x = 7, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it is 3/(x-7) + 2.

When x = 7, there is an asymptote because it is undefined.

When y = 2, there is also one, because 3/(x-7) is never 0.

These are the only ones.
