Answer:

5.25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

15 min=1/4 of hour

12/4=3

9/4=2.25

3+2.25=5.25

Answer:

<em>d = 4.59 miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance Between Two Points in the Plane</u>

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}

The fishing boats leave the marina in perpendicular directions. The first boat travels north at v=12 mph for t=15 minutes. Converting to hours t=15/60=0.25 hours.

The distance covered by this boat is

d1 = 12*0.25 = 4 miles

The boat ends up at the point (0,4).

The second boat travels east at v=9  mph for the same time t=0.25 hours. The distance is:

d2= 9*0.25 = 2.25 miles

This boat ends up at the point (2.25,0)

The distance between them is

d=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-2.25)^2}=\sqrt{16+5.0625}=\sqrt{21.0625}

Calculating the square root:

d = 4.59 miles

US average math SAT scores follow a normal distribution with a mean of 505 and a standard deviation of 112. A sample of 64 enter
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size = 64

           Standard deviation = 112

           Mean = 505

           Average score = 477

To Find : Test the claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average at the 0.05 level of significance.

Solution:

Sample size = 64

n > 30

So we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 477\\H_a:\mu < 477

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{505-477}{\frac{112}{\sqrt{64}}}

z=2

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.9772

α=0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis

Hence The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong
