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.

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = − 2/3 x + 1/3 shown on the graph? (–2.7, 2.1) (–2.1, 2.7)
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The approximate solution to the system is (-2.7, 2.1).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations \begin{bmatrix}y=0.5x+3.5\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix} you must:

\mathrm{Rationalize\:equations}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}y=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x+\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Isolate}\:x\:\mathrm{for}\:-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\\\\-\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{19}{6}+\frac{1}{2}x\\\\-\frac{7}{6}x=\frac{19}{6}\\\\6\left(-\frac{7}{6}x\right)=\frac{19\cdot \:6}{6}\\\\-7x=19\\\\x=-\frac{19}{7}\approx-2.7

\mathrm{For\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-\frac{19}{7}\\\\y=-\frac{2}{3}\left(-\frac{19}{7}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\\\\y=\frac{15}{7}\approx 2.1

The approximate solutions to the system of equations are:

x=-2.7 ,\:y=2.1

What transformation maps the preimage (red) onto the image (blue)?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Rotate counter clockwise about the center point 180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use transformations to preserve shape and size but move a shape or change its position. Transformations include:

  • reflection - a flip across an axis
  • rotation - a turn around a point
  • translation - a slide a specific distance and direction

To map the red into the blue, you can rotate it counter clockwise about the center point which the red and blue shapes share 180 degrees. It will land exactly on the red.

valina [46]
Is the e suppose to be in there? Cause if it is then you would probably have to have a number equaling to it to solve for e. If not then here is how you do it. Just add them together.
