Bill and Will, starting together, ran a 400-meter race, each running at a constant speed. When Bill crossed the finish line, Will was exactly 20 yards behind Bill. They decide to run the race again, this time Bill starting 20 yards behind the original starting line and each running at his same constant speed as before. This time _______ wins by _______ yards.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Bill, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bill and will run a 400 yard race.

Bill win by 20 yard

Suppose the speed of Bill and Will are [tex]\mathbf{v_b}, \mathbf{v_w}[/tex]

time taken for them is same for the first time

[tex]\Rightarrow t_b=t_w\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{v_b}=\dfrac{400-20}{v_w}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_b}{v_w}=\dfrac{400}{380}\ or\ \dfrac{20}{19}\\[/tex]

Now Bill starts 20 yards behind the starting line

Ratio of their time to cover the distances is

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{\dfrac{420}{v_b}}{\dfrac{400}{v_w}}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{420}{400}\times \dfrac{v_w}{v_b}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{21}{20}\times \dfrac{19}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{399}{400}[/tex]

The obtained ratio is less than 1. Thus, the time taken by Bill is less than Will.

For the same time Bill wins

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{v_b\times t}{v_w\times t}=\dfrac{420}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=19\times 21\\\Rightarrow x=399\ m[/tex]

Thus, Will has covered only 399 yards.

This time Bill wins by 1 yards.

Evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve. C (x yz) dx 2x dy xyz dz, C consists of line segments (3, 0, 1) to (4, 3, 1) and from (4, 3, 1) to (4, 5, 4)

Answers

Split up C into two component paths C₁ and C₂, where each line segment is respectively parameterized by

r₁(t) = (1 - t ) (3i + k) + t (4i + 3j + k) = (t + 3) i + 3t j + k

r₂(t) = (1 - t ) (4i + 3j + k) + t (4i + 5j + 4k) = 4i + (2t + 3) j + (3t + 1) k

both with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

It's a bit unclear what function you're supposed to integrate (looks like xyz ?) so I'll give a more general result. The line integral of a scalar function f(x, y, z) along the given path C is

[tex]\displaystyle \int_C f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm ds = \int_{C_1}f(\mathbf r_1(t))\left\|\frac{\mathrm d\mathbf r_1}{\mathrm dt}\right\|\,\mathrm dt + \int_{C_1}f(\mathbf r_2(t))\left\|\frac{\mathrm d\mathbf r_2}{\mathrm dt}\right\|\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

We have

dr/dt = i + 3j   ==>   || dr/dt || = √(1² + 3²) = √10

dr/dt = 2j + 3k   ==>   || dr/dt || = √(2² + 3²) = √13

Then the integrals reduce to

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left(\sqrt{10}\,f(t+3,3t,1) + \sqrt{13}\,f(4,2t+3,3t+1)\right)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

If indeed f(x, y, z) = xyz, then we have

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left(3\sqrt{10}\,t(t+3) + 4\sqrt{13}\,(2t+3)(3t+1)\right)\,\mathrm dt = 11\sqrt{\frac52}+42\sqrt{13}[/tex]

I’d personally say either A or C, and here’s why: with B and D, you don’t know what will change it, or make it go from a linear rate of change to exponential for B, and for D it’s more of a quadratic than a linear. It’s for that same reasoning that I’d hesitate to say A over C: there are other factors other than strictly the number of tickets sold and the number of minutes pre-football game. C, with the grapes, on the other hand, is a linear one that will always changeable depending on weight of the grapes.

One of the populations is normally distributed. C. The two samples are simple random samples. D. This test requires that both populations have normal distributions.

Answers

Answer:

B. One of the populations is normally distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To test a claim about two population standard deviation or variance, it is imperative that the data meets certain requirements which include :

Randomness : Data must not be biased as such it must be drawn as a random sample from a larger group.

The data must be independent. That is not related to one another, the outcome of one should not rely on the outcome or value of another.

Both groups must be drawn From a population which is normally distributed.

One group being normally distributed by stribuyed while the other isn't a requirement for hypothesis testing in this scenario.

Working for a car company, you have been assigned to find the average miles per gallon (mpg) for acertain model of car. you take a random sample of 15 cars of the assigned model. based on previous evidence and a qq plot, you have reason to believe that the gas mileage is normally distributed. you find that the sample average miles per gallon is around 26.7 with a standard deviation of 6.2 mpg.

a. Construct and interpret a 95% condence interval for the mean mpg, , for the certain model of car.
b. What would happen to the interval if you increased the condence level from 95% to 99%? Explain
c. The lead engineer is not happy with the interval you contructed and would like to keep the width of the whole interval to be less than 4 mpg wide. How many cars would you have to sample to create the interval the engineer is requesting?

Answers

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean mpg, for the certain model of car is (23.3, 30.1). This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean mpg of the model of the car is between 23.3 mpg and 30.1 mpg.

b) Increasing the confidence level, the value of T would increase, thus increasing the margin of error and making the interval wider.

c) 37 cars would have to be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have the sample standard deviation, and thus, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 15 - 1 = 14

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 14 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.1448

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.1448\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{15}} = 3.4[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 26.7 - 3.4 = 23.3 mpg.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 26.7 + 3.4 = 30.1 mpg.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean mpg, for the certain model of car is (23.3, 30.1). This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean mpg of the model of the car is between 23.3 mpg and 30.1 mpg.

b. What would happen to the interval if you increased the confidence level from 95% to 99%? Explain

Increasing the confidence level, the value of T would increase, thus increasing the margin of error and making the interval wider.

c. The lead engineer is not happy with the interval you constructed and would like to keep the width of the whole interval to be less than 4 mpg wide. How many cars would you have to sample to create the interval the engineer is requesting?

Width is twice the margin of error, so a margin of error of 2 would be need. To solve this, we have to consider the population standard deviation as [tex]\sigma = 6.2[/tex], and then use the z-distribution.

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many cars would you have to sample to create the interval the engineer is requesting?

This is n for which M = 2. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2 = 1.96\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 1.96*6.2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*6.2}{2}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*6.2}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 36.9[/tex]

Rounding up:

37 cars would have to be sampled.

Answers

Option D is correct. 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

To get the required range of values, we will have to first get the z-score for the two-tailed probability at a 95% confidence interval. According to the normal table, the required range is between -2.81 and 2.81

The formula for calculating the z-score is expressed as;

[tex]z=\frac{x-\overline x}{s}[/tex] where:

[tex]\overline x[/tex] is the mean

s is the standard deviation

z is the z-scores

Given the following

[tex]\overline x[/tex]=2.7 in

s = 0.25

if z = -2.81

[tex]-2.81=\frac{x-2.7}{0.25}\\x-2.7=-2.81*0.25\\x-2.7=-0.7025\\x=-0.7025+2.7\\x=1.9975[/tex]

Similarly:

[tex]2.81=\frac{x_2-2.7}{0.25}\\x_2-2.7=2.81*0.25\\x_2-2.7=0.7025\\x_2=0.7025+2.7\\x_2=3.4025[/tex]

Hence the 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels south at 24 mi/h and the other travels west at 18 mi/h. At what rate (in mi/h) is the distance between the cars increasing two hours later

Answers

Answer:

The rate at which the distance between the two cars is increasing is 30 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first car, v₁ = 24 mi/h

speed of the second car, v₂ = 18 mi/h

Two hours later, the position of the cars is calculated as;

position of the first car, d₁ = 24 mi/h  x 2 h  = 48 mi

position of the second car, d₂ = 18 mi/h  x 2 h = 36 mi

The displacement of the two car is calculated as;

displacement, d² = 48² + 36²

                        d² = 3600

                        d = √3600

                        d = 60 mi

The rate at which this displacement is changing = (60 mi) / (2h)

                                                                                 = 30 mi/h
