Answer:

They traveling at $0.37\ m/s$ in backward direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given mass of Ammy $m_1=55kg$

and velocity is forward at $v_1=3m/s$

Also, mass of Jenny $m_2=40kg$

Who is travelling in opposite direction $v_2=-5m/s$

Let velocity in forward direction is positive and velocity in backward direction is negative.

Also, velocity after crash is $v$

As they crashed into each other and they moved as one mass. We can apply principle of conservation of momentum.

Conservation of momentum says momentum before collision should equal to momentum after collision.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$(55\times3)+(40\times(-5))=(55+40)v\\\\165-200=95v\\\\-35=95v\\\\v=\frac{-35}{95}=-0.368m/s$

So, velocity after collision $v$ ≅ $-0.37m/s$ is in opposite direction. That is the direction of Jenny.

Rewrite the following polynomial in standard form. -x -7x^2 -10 Please Help

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-7x^2 - x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting a polynomial in standard form most often involves writing the x terms in descending order by power: x^2, x^1, x^0

Rewrite -x -7x^2 -10 as -7x^2 - x^1 - 10x^0, which is usually simplified to:

-7x^2 - x - 10

This result is in "standard form."

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean, x overbar, is found

joja [24]

Answer:

(a) 80% confidence interval for the population mean is [109.24 , 116.76].

(b) 80% confidence interval for the population mean is [109.86 , 116.14].

(c) 98% confidence interval for the population mean is [105.56 , 120.44].

(d) No, we could not have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed.

The sample mean is found to be 113 and the sample standard deviation is found to be 10.

(a) The sample size given is n = 13.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 80% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean = 113

s = sample standard deviation = 10

n = sample size = 13

$\mu$ = population mean

Here for constructing 80% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 80% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.356 < $t_1_2$ < 1.356) = 0.80 {As the critical value of t at 12 degree

of freedom are -1.356 & 1.356 with P = 10%}

P(-1.356 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.356) = 0.80

P( $-1.356 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $1.356 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.80

P( $\bar X-1.356 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+1.356 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.80

80% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.356 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.356 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $113-1.356 \times }{\frac{10}{\sqrt{13} } }$ , $113+1.356 \times }{\frac{10}{\sqrt{13} } }$ ]

= [109.24 , 116.76]

Therefore, 80% confidence interval for the population mean is [109.24 , 116.76].

(b) Now, the sample size has been changed to 18, i.e; n = 18.

So, the critical values of t at 17 degree of freedom would now be -1.333 & 1.333 with P = 10%.

80% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.333 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.333 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $113-1.333 \times }{\frac{10}{\sqrt{18} } }$ , $113+1.333 \times }{\frac{10}{\sqrt{18} } }$ ]

= [109.86 , 116.14]

Therefore, 80% confidence interval for the population mean is [109.86 , 116.14].

(c) Now, we have to construct 98% confidence interval with sample size, n = 13.

So, the critical values of t at 12 degree of freedom would now be -2.681 & 2.681 with P = 1%.

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.681 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.681 \times }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $113-2.681 \times }{\frac{10}{\sqrt{13} } }$ , $113+2.681 \times }{\frac{10}{\sqrt{13} } }$ ]

= [105.56 , 120.44]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the population mean is [105.56 , 120.44].

(d) No, we could not have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally distributed because t test statistics is used only when the data follows normal distribution.
