The correct interpretation of the p-value is given by:

B If the average battery life really is 5 hours, then a sample of 10 observations having a sample mean of 4.25 hours or lower would only occur about 3.8% of the line.

<h3>How to find the p-value of a test?</h3>

It depends on the test statistic z, as follows:

For a left-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of z, which is the p-value of z.

For a right-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the right of z, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z.

For a two-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of -z combined with the area to the right of z, hence it is 2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the p-value of z, which means that the p-value for a two-tailed test is twice the p-value of a one-tailed test.

In this problem, a left-tailed test is used, as we are testing if the mean is less than 5 hours.

The sample mean from the 10 times was of 4.25, and the p-value is of 0.038, which means that the area to the left of Z under the normal curve is of 0.038, that is, a sample mean of 4.25 hours or lower would only occur about 3.8% of the line, hence option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the max height the ball reached, we have to complete the square on that quadratic. That will also, conveniently so, give us the number of seconds it will take the ball to reach that max height, that answer to part b. Let's begin to complete the square. Normally, you would move the constant over to the other side of the equals sign, but there is no constant here. The next step is to get the leading coefficient to be a 1, and ours right now is a -15. So we have to factor it out. Here's where we start the process of completing the square.

$-15(t^2-\frac{20}{3}t)=0$ Next step is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 20/3. Half of 20/3 is 20/6, and 20/6 squared is 400/36.

$-15(t^2-\frac{20}{3}t+\frac{400}{36})=0+???$ Because this is an equation, what we add to the left side also has to be added to the right. BUT we didn't just add in 400/36, because we have that -15 out front as a multiplier that refuses to be ignored. What we actually added in was -15(400/36):

$-15(t^2-\frac{20}{3}t+\frac{400}{36})=0-\frac{500}{3}$

The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left which will serve as the number of seconds, h, in the vertex (h, k), where h is the number of seconds it takes the ball to reach its max height, k. Simplifying both sides then gives us:

$-15(t-\frac{20}{6})^2=-\frac{500}{3}$ Finally, we will move the right side over by the left and set the quadratic back equal to h(t):

$h(t)=-15(t^2-\frac{20}{3})^2+\frac{500}{3}$ and from that you can determine that the vertex is $(\frac{20}{3},\frac{500}{3})$ .

The answer to a. is vound in the second number of our vertex: k, the max height. The max of the golf ball was 500/3 feet or 166 2/3 feet.

Part b is found in the first number of the vertex: h, the number of seconds it took the golf ball to reach that max height. The time it took was 3 1/3 seconds.

Part c. is to state the domain (the time) and the range (the height) of the ball.

Domain is

D: {x | 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 1/3} and

Range is

R: {y | 0 ≤ y ≤ 166 2/3}

The height H of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 9

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The ball will be 84 feet above the ground 1.125 seconds and 4.5 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement is incorrect. Correct form is presented below:

<em>The height </em> $h(t)$ <em> of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 90 feet per second is given by equation </em> $h(t) = 3 +90\cdot t -16\cdot t^{2}$ <em>, where </em> $t$ <em> is time in seconds. After how many seconds will the ball be 84 feet above the ground. </em>

We equalize the kinematic formula to 84 feet and solve the resulting second-order polynomial by Quadratic Formula to determine the instants associated with such height:

$3+90\cdot t -16\cdot t^{2} = 84$

$16\cdot t^{2}-90\cdot t +81 = 0$ (1)

By Quadratic Formula:

$t_{1,2} = \frac{90\pm \sqrt{(-90)^{2}-4\cdot (16)\cdot (81)}}{2\cdot (16)}$

$t_{1} = 4.5\,s$ , $t_{2} = 1.125\,s$

The ball will be 84 feet above the ground 1.125 seconds and 4.5 seconds after launch.

raketka [301]

Perimeter of rectangle:
P = 2(L + W)
P = 250 (given)
L = 3W - 35 (given)

250 = 2(3W -35 + W) ↔ 125 = 4W - 35

4W = 125 +35 =160 And W = 40 ft
And L = 3x40 - 35 = 85 ft
