Answer:

  2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

If s is the speed going up the mountain, then s+1 is the speed coming down. The total trip time for 6 miles up and 6 miles down is ...

  6/s +6/(s+1) = 5

  6(s+1) +6s = 5(s)(s+1)

  5s^2 -7x -6 = 0 . . . . subtract the left side, simplify to standard form

  (s -2)(5s +3) = 0 . . . . factor

  s = 2 or -3/5 . . . . values that make the factors 0

Their speed was 2 miles per hour going up the mountain.

__

<em>Check</em>

It took 6/2 = 3 hours to go up the mountain, and 6/(2+1) = 2 hours to come down, for a total of 5 hours.

Answer:

Some of the most lucrative jobs are all about math. Most engineering fields are all about sharp math skills, whether it’s civil and mechanical or software engineering.

Given:
difference in the mean weight gain is 0.60 grams
standard deviation of the difference in sample mean is 0.305

68% confidence interval for the population mean difference is a) 0.305

0.60 <u>+</u> 1 * 0.305
0.60 + 0.305 = 0.905
0.60 - 0.305 = 0.295

95% confidence interval for the population mean difference is c) 0.61

0.60 <u>+</u> 2 * 0.305
0.60 + 0.61 = 1.21
0.60 - 0.61 = -0.01
