Answer:

Approximately 58.2\; \text{nautical miles} (assuming that the bearing is {\rm S$29^{\circ}$W}.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v denote the speed of the ship, and let t denote the duration of the trip. The magnitude of the displacement of this ship would be v\, t.

Refer to the diagram attached. The direction {\rm S$29^{\circ}$W} means 29^{\circ} west of south. Thus, start with the south direction and turn towards west (clockwise) by 29^{\circ} to find the direction of the displacement of the ship.

The hypothenuse of the right triangle in this diagram represents the displacement of the ship, with a length of v\, t. The dashed horizontal line segment represents the distance that the ship has travelled to the west (which this question is asking for.) The angle opposite to that line segment is exactly 29^{\circ}.

Since the hypotenuse is of length v\, t, the dashed line segment opposite to the \theta = 29^{\circ} vertex would have a length of:

\begin{aligned}& \text{opposite (to $\theta$)} \\ =\; & \text{hypotenuse} \times \frac{\text{opposite (to $\theta$)}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ =\; & \text{hypotenuse} \times \sin (\theta) \\ =\; & v\, t \, \sin(\theta) \\ =\; & v\, t\, \sin(29^{\circ})\end{aligned}.

Substitute in \begin{aligned} v &= 20\; \frac{\text{nautical mile}}{\text{hour}}\end{aligned} and t = 6\; \text{hour}:

\begin{aligned} & v\, t\, \sin(29^{\circ}) \\ =\; & 20\; \frac{\text{nautical mile}}{\text{hour}} \times 6\; \text{hour} \times \sin(29^{\circ}) \\ \approx\; & 58.2\; \text{nautical mile}\end{aligned}.

Ace Cars says they will pay Jim a 10% commission on the sale price of each car. Budget Cars says they will pay him $500 per week
Arisa [49]

Answer:

  $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:

  2.5%(car price) = $500

  car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000

__

If you prefer, you can get there with equations.

At Job 1, the pay is ...

  y = 10%×(car price)

At Job 2, the pay is ...

  y = 7.5%×(car price)

Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...

  0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)

  0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)

  car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025

Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.

Express the confidence interval 0.555 less than 0.777 in the form Modifying above p with caret plus or minus Upper E.
Elina [12.6K]

Complete Question

Express the confidence interval 0.555 less than p less than  0.777 in the form Modifying above p with caret plus or minus Upper E.

Answer:

The modified representation is \r p \pm  E  = 0.666 \pm  0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  confidence interval interval is  0.555 <  p <  0.777

Now looking at the values that make up  the up confidence interval we see that this is a symmetric  confidence interval(This because the interval covers 95%  of the area under the normal curve which mean that the probability of a value falling outside the interval is 0.05 which is divided into two , the first half on the left -tail and the second half on the right tail  as shown on the figure in the first uploaded image(reference - Yale University ) ) which means

     Now  since the confidence interval is  symmetric , we can obtain the sample proportion as follows

             \r p  =  \frac{0.555 + 0.777}{2}

            \r p  =0.666

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

            E  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  K

Where  K is the length of the confidence interval which iis mathematically represented as

           K  =  0.777 -0.555

         K  = 0.222

Hence  

          ME  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  0.222

           ME  =  0.111

So the confidence interval can now be represented as

        \r p \pm  E  = 0.666 \pm  0.111

Could someone check my answer please
Butoxors [25]
Hello there! The axis of symmetry is the vertical line where the parabola can be divided and there are two equal halves. The vertex is on that line. The point where this occurs is all in the positive range, so that eliminates B, C, and D. (0.5, 4.25) is the vertex and 0.5 is the axis of symmetry. The answer is A. Your answer is correct.
