A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 28 miles
per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip
upstream to a certain point in 35 minutes; the return trip
takes 21 minutes. What is the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Time Taken to go upstream Tup = 35 min

Time Taken to go downstream Tdown=21 min.

Let the absolute speed (i.e speed relative to the stationary riverbed) be :

Vup : going upstream

Vdown: going downstream.

We know that the distance traveled upstream = distance traveled downstream, hence we can equate both distances, i.e. :

Distance Traveled Upstream = Distance Traveled Downstream

Vup · Tup = Vdown · Tdown   (substituting the values for time above)

35Vup = 21Vdown

Vup = (21/35) Vdown ------------(eq 1)

We are also given that the motorboat can travel at V = 28 mph relative to the water.

Since going upstream, we are going AGAINST the current, relative to the riverbed, we expect to be travelling slower. In fact, the absolute difference between the speed relative to the water (i.e V = 28 mph) and the speed relative to the seabed (i.e Vup), is equal to the speed of the current.

The same can be said for going downstream WITH the current, that the absolute difference between V = 28mph and Vdown is also equal to the speed of the current.

Hence we can equate the two:

28 - Vup = Vdown - 28

Vup + Vdown = 2(28)

Vup + Vdown = 56 ---------------------(eq 2)

If we solve the system of equations (eq 1) and (eq2), we will get

Vup = 21 mph and Vdown = 35 mph

(sanity check tells us that this makes sense because we expect to be going slower upstream because we are going against the current)

Hence current speed

= 28-Vup

= 28 - 21

= 7 mph. (answer)

Sanity Check:

Current speed can also be written:

= Vdown-28

= 35 - 28

= 7 mph (same as what we found above, so this checks out)

Answer 2

The speed of the current motorboat = 7 mph

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Speed of boat in still water = 28 mph

Let the speed of stream = w

Here, The upstream time is 35 min = 35/60 h = 7/12 h

downstream time is 21 min = 21/60 h = 7/20 hours

Since, The distance (d = vt) traveled either way is the same, but at different speeds and times.

Hence, Set upstream and downstream distances (vt) equal and solve for w as;

⇒ (28 - w)(7/12) = (28 + w)(7/20)

⇒ 20 (28 - w) = 12 (28 + w)

⇒ 5(28 - w) = 3(28 + w)

⇒ 140 - 5w = 84 + 3w

⇒ 140 - 84 = 5w + 3w

⇒ 56 = 8w

⇒ w = 7

Thus, The speed of the current = 7 mph

A manager records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected stereos. A sample mean of $82.64 and standard deviation of $14.32 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

CI = (70.861 , 94.418)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the 90% confidence interval you use the following formula (for a population approximately normal):

[tex]CI=(\overline{x}-Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},\overline{x}+Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]    (1)

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex]: mean = 82.64

σ: standard deviation = 14.32

n: sample = 4

α: tail area = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Z_α/2 = Z_0.05: Z factor =  1.645

You replace these values and you obtain:

[tex]Z_{0.05}(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=(1.645)(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=11.778[/tex]

The confidence interval will be:

[tex]CI=(82.64-11.778,82.64+11.778)=(70.861,94.418)[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval is (70.861 , 94.418)

  the sum is 01011000₂ = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

For numbers of magnitude less than 128, it is convenient to use an 8-bit representation. I find it works will to convert back and forth through the octal (base-8) representation, as each base-8 digit converts nicely to three (3) base-2 bits.

  61 = 8·7 +5 = 075₈ = 00 111 101₂

  27 = 8·3 +3 = 033₈ = 00 011 011₂

Then ...

  [tex]\begin{array}{cc|ccc}&61&&00111101\\+&27&+&00011011\\ &\overline{88}&&\overline{01011000}\end{array}[/tex]

__

Starting from the right, we can convert the binary back to octal, then to decimal by considering 3 bits at a time:

  01 011 000₂ = 130₈ = 1·8² +3·8 +0 = 64 +24 = 88

The binary sum is the same as the decimal sum.

A campaign strategist wants to determine whether demographic shifts have caused a drop in allegiance to the Uniformian Party in Bowie County. Historically, around 62% of the county's registered voters have supported the Uniformians. In a survey of 196 registered voters, 57% indicated that they would vote for the Uniformians in the next election. Assuming a confidence level of 95% and conducting a one-sided hypothesis test, which of the following should the strategist do?

a. Accept the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has not changed.
b. Accept the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has decreased.
c. Conclude that the proportion of Uniformian voters is now between 56% and 62%.
d. There is not enough evidence to support the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has decreased.

Answers

Answer:

d. There is not enough evidence to support the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that there is a significant drop in allegiance to the Uniformian Party in Bowie County.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \pi=0.62\\\\H_a:\pi<0.62[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=196.

The sample proportion is p=0.57.

The standard error of the proportion is:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.62*0.38}{196}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001202}=0.035[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.57-0.62+0.5/196}{0.035}=\dfrac{-0.047}{0.035}=-1.369[/tex]

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z<-1.369)=0.0855[/tex]

As the P-value (0.0855) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is a significant drop in allegiance to the Uniformian Party in Bowie County.

Assume the standard deviation for the male graduates is $40,000 and for the female graduates it is $25,000. 1. In which of the preceding two cases, part a or part b, do we have a higher probability of obtaining a smaple estimate within $10,000 of the population mean? why? 2. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean?

Answers

Answer:

1. Due to the lower standard deviation, it is more likely to obtain a sample of females within $10,000 of the population mean

2. 15.87% probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

1. In which of the preceding two cases, part a or part b, do we have a higher probability of obtaining a smaple estimate within $10,000 of the population mean? why?

The lower the standard deviation, the less dispersed the values are, meaning it is more likely to find values within a certain threshold of the mean.

So

Due to the lower standard deviation, it is more likely to obtain a sample of females within $10,000 of the population mean.

2. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean?

We have that:

[tex]\mu = 168000, \sigma = 40000, n = 100, s = \frac{40000}{\sqrt{100}} = 4000[/tex]

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 168000 - 4000 = 164000. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{164000 - 168000}{4000}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1587

15.87% probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cmys and its width is increasing at a rate of 3 cmys. When the length is 20 cm and the width is 10 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

Answers

Answer:

The area of the rectangle increasing at the rate of 140 cm²/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle area:

A rectangle has two dimensions, length l and width w.

It's area is:

A = l*w.

When the length is 20 cm and the width is 10 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

We apply implicit differentiation to solve this question:

[tex]A = l*w[/tex]

So

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]

Length is 20, so [tex]l = 20[/tex].

Width is 10, so [tex]w = 10[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 3 cm/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dl}{dt} = 8, \frac{dw}{dt} = 3[/tex]

So

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 20*3 + 10*8 = 140[/tex]

Area in cm².

So

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97

  x = 1331.06 . . . . . . divide by 2.26

  x -580 = 751.06

The total invested was 1331.06 +751.06 = 2082.12 cedis.

__

Check

The investment at 12% was 751.06, so the accumulated amount of that investment was 751.06×1.12 = 841.19.

The investment at 14% was 1331.06, so the accumulated amount of that investment as 1331.06×1.14 = 1517.41.

The accumulated total amount was 841.19 +1517.41 = 2358.60.

Commonly, the tool of a tree diagram is used to find the possibility of outcome while flipping a coin. It is a diagram in which connections between the events is shown using the strucure of branching connecting lines.

So, the given statement is true, that is a simple way of showing events in a sequence.

If $5a+2b=0$ and $a$ is two less than $b$, what is $7b$?

Answers

Answer:

7b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

5a + 2b = 0

a is two less than b

So a = b - 2.

Replacing in the above equation:

[tex]5a + 2b = 0[/tex]

[tex]5(b - 2) + 2b = 0[/tex]

[tex]5b - 10 + 2b = 0[/tex]

[tex]7b = 10[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{10}{7}[/tex]

7b

[tex]7b = 7\frac{10}{7} = \frac{70}{7} = 10[/tex]

7b = 10

Lucas and Erick are factoring the polynomial 12x3 – 6x2 + 8x – 4. Lucas groups the polynomial (12x3 + 8x) + (–6x2 – 4) to factor. Erick groups the polynomial (12x3 – 6x2) + (8x – 4) to factor. Who correctly grouped the terms to factor? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Lucas groups the polynomial (12x^3 + 8x) + (–6x^2 – 4) to factor → 2 (2 x - 1) (3 x^2 + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

12 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 8 x - 4

Hint: | Factor out the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of 12 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 8 x - 4.

Factor 2 out of 12 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 8 x - 4:

2 (6 x^3 - 3 x^2 + 4 x - 2)

Hint: | Factor pairs of terms in 6 x^3 - 3 x^2 + 4 x - 2 by grouping.

Factor terms by grouping. 6 x^3 - 3 x^2 + 4 x - 2 = (6 x^3 - 3 x^2) + (4 x - 2) = 3 x^2 (2 x - 1) + 2 (2 x - 1):

2 3 x^2 (2 x - 1) + 2 (2 x - 1)

Hint: | Factor common terms from 3 x^2 (2 x - 1) + 2 (2 x - 1).

Factor 2 x - 1 from 3 x^2 (2 x - 1) + 2 (2 x - 1):

Answer: 2 (2 x - 1) (3 x^2 + 2)

Answer:

Both students are correct because polynomials can be grouped in different ways to factor. Both ways result in a common binomial factor between the groups. Using the distributive property , this common binomial term can be factored out. Each grouping results in the same two binomial factors.

0.2x + (-0.9) + 1.7 = 9.6
0.2x + 0.8 = 9.6
X=
WHAT DOES x =

Answers

Answer:

x =44

Step-by-step explanation:

0.2x + (-0.9) + 1.7 = 9.6

Combine like terms

.2x +.8 = 9.6

Subtract .8 from each side

.2x +.8 -.8 = 9.6 -.8

.2x = 8.8

Divide each side by .2

.2x/.2 = 8.8/.2

x =44
