speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Answer:

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.

speed down the river is:

speed=distance/time

speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:

speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr

thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:

x+y=7...i

x-y=4.......ii

adding the above equations i and ii we get:

2x=11

x=5.5 mi/hr

thus

y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r

thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Determine whether the study is an observational study of an experiment. Explain.
wolverine [178]

Answer: Observational ; does not

Step-by-step explanation: The main distinguishing factor between an experimental study and an observational study lies in the administration of treatment to the participant of the study. In experimental study, some or all the participant in the study are subjected or exposed to a certain treatment and their response to such treatment. ON THE OTHER HAND, Observational study is usually employed when there is a need to gather information on a particular subject matter without directly influencing the participants. In the scenario above, participants were not given any TREATMENT as they were only required to gather information and not to measure the effect of a treatment.
