Answer:

As per the given statement: A straight road rises at an inclination of 0.3 radian from horizontal.

⇒Inclination\theta = 0.3 \text{radian}.

The slope is given by:

m =\tan \theta

Substitute the given value we have;

m = \tan (0.3)

m = 0.30933624961

Let Δx represents the change in horizontal distance and  Δy represents the change in vertical distance.

Slope is also defined as the change in vertical distance to the change in horizontal distance.

i.,e  m = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}                     .....[1]

It is given that change in elevation over a one mile section of the road

⇒Δx = 1

Substitute the  value of Δx = 1 and m = 0.30933624961  in [1] we have;

0.30933624961 = \frac{\triangle y}{1}

or

\triangle y = 0.30933624961 mile.

Therefor, the slope is, 0.30933624961 and change in elevation over a one mile section of the road is, 0.30933624961 mile

Find the percent of the area under the density curve where x is more than 3. <br>​
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The percent of the area under the density curve where x is more that 3 is 25 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density curve is a linear function, the area under the curve can be calculated by the geometric formula for a triangle, defined by the following expression:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (x_{f} - x_{o})\cdot  (y_{f}-y_{o}) (1)

Where:

A - Area, in square units.

x_{f} - x_{o} - Base of the triangle, in units.

y_{f} - y_{o} - Height of the triangle, in units.

The percent of the area is the ratio of triangle areas under the density curve multiplied by 100 per cent, that is:

x = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5-3)\cdot (0.25) }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5-1)\cdot (0.5) }\times 100\,\%

x = 25\,\%

The percent of the area under the density curve where x is more that 3 is 25 %.

Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of two television programs: COPS (population 1) and 60 Minutes (population 2
drek231 [11]

Answer and Explanation:

Her alternative hypothesis is that there is some difference between the means of the ages of the audiences of the two television programs. That is, the mean ages of the two audiences are not the same.

If the mean of the ages of the audiences of television programme 1 (COPS) is xbar₁

And the mean of the ages of the audiences of the television programme 2 (60 minutes) is xbar₂

Her alternative hypothesis can be represented mathematically as

xbar₁ - xbar₂ ≠ 0
