Answer:

8.90 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the rocket hits the ground, its height ( <em>y</em> ) will be zero. This means we can write the equation as:

  • 0 = -16x²+129x+119

So we need to <u>solve that equation</u>:

  • a = -16
  • b = 129
  • c = 119
  • x = \frac{-b\frac{+}{-}\sqrt{b^2-4ac}  }{2a}

x₁ = -0.84

x₂ = 8.90

We discard x₁, as it is negative.

So the answer is x₂, 8.90 seconds.

expeople1 [14]
Given:
value of the test statistic is t20 = 1.95
corresponding p-value of 0.0653 at the 5% significance level

No, I can't conclude that the correlation coefficient differs from zero because the p-value, which is 0.0653 exceeds 0.05. 

The correlation coefficient differs from zero when the p-value is less than 0.05.

In a random sample of 75 individuals, 52 people said they prefer coffee to tea. 99.7% of the population mean is between what two
marshall27 [118]
Sample size, n = 75
Point estimate, p = 52/75 = 0.693
Z at 99.7% confidence interval ≈ 2.96

Population mean interval = p+/- Z*Sqrt [p(1-p)/n]

Substituting;
Population mean interval = 0.693 +/- 2.96*Sqrt [0.693(1-0.693)/75] = 0.693+/-0.158 = (0.535,0.851) or (53.5%,85.1%)

Kryger [21]

Answer:

2. When you multiply 23 times 6 you get 138. (not enough seats)

3. So, you would need to have at least 24 cars in order for everyone to go on the trip. (24 x 6 = 144 seats)
