The claim is that the standard deviation of the speeds of drivers in Bradford is 8 mph. An experienced driver feels that this is

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Null hypothesis is rejected. Standard deviation is > 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

σ [Population standard deviation] = 8 , s [sample standard deviation] = s

n [no of items] = 8

H0 [Null] : σ = 8 ; H1 [Alternate - Right Tail] : σ > 8

χ2 = (n - 1) . s^2 / σ^2

= 49 x (10.5)^2 / 82 = 5402.25 / 64

χ2 = 84.410

df [degree of freedom] = n -1 = 50 - 1 = 49

P value (χ^2 49 > 84.410) = 0.00125

p = 0.0013

p < α ie 0.05

So, H0 is rejected

Hence we state that standard deviation is > 8 miles per hpur

Safia opens a new savings account with a 2.25% simple interest rate. She deposits $3,500 and earned $3,696.88 total (with intere

Art [367]

Answer:

The money was left untouched for 2 years and 6 months or just 2.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time taken for an amount deposited to earn a certain amount of interest.

Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated using the formula;

I = PRT/100

where I is the interest accrued which is 3696.88 - 3,500 = 196.88

P is the principal which is the amount deposited = 3,500 according to the question

R is the rate which is 2.25% according to the question

T is the time which we are to find

we can rearrange the formula making T the subject and we obtain the following;

T = 100I/PR

substituting the values listed above we have;

T = (100 * 196.88)/(3500 * 2.25)

T = 19688/7875

T = 2.5 years or 2 years 6 months

A car approaches a stop sign going 10 m/s before coming to a stop. If it takes 5 seconds to

Levart [38]

Answer:

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 10 m/s

Final velocity v = 0

Time taken t = 5 seconds

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

Using the formula to determine the acceleration

a = (v - u) / t

substituting u = 10 m/s, v = 0 and t = 5

a = (0 - 10) / 5

a = -10 / 5

a = -2 m/s²

Thus,

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

Which products result in a perfect square trinomial? Check all that apply.

sladkih [1.3K]

The correct answers are:

B=(xy + x)(xy + x) ; C=(2x – 3)(–3 + 2x) ; and E=(4y² + 25)(25 + 4y²)

Explanation:

In order to have a perfect square trinomial, we must multiply two binomials that are exactly the same. For (xy+x)(xy+x), are multiplying two identical binomials.

For (2x-3)(-3+2x), we are multiplying two binomials that are the same but written in a different order. The same is true of (4y² + 25)(25 + 4y²).
