The weight of an object above the surface of the Earth varies inversely with the square of the
distance from the center of the Earth. If a body weighs 50 pounds when it is 3,960 miles from
Earth's center, what would it weigh if it were 4,015 miles from Earth's center?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

weight =48.71228786pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]w = \frac{k}{ {d}^{2} } \\ 50 = \frac{k}{ {3960}^{2} } \\ \\ k = 50 \times {3960}^{2} \\ k = 50 \times 15681600 \\ k = 784080000 \\ \\ w = \frac{784080000}{ {d}^{2} } \\ w = \frac{784080000}{16120225} \\ \\ w = 48.71228786 \\ w = 48.7pounds[/tex]

Answer 2

If a body weighs 50 pounds when it is 3,960 miles from Earth's center, it would weigh approximately 48.547 pounds if it were 4,015 miles from Earth's center, according to the inverse square law formula.

We know the inverse square law formula:

W₁ / W₂ = D²₂ / D²₁

Where W₁ is the weight of the body at the initial distance D₁, and W₂ is the weight at the final distance D₂.

So we have,

W₁ = 50

D₁  = 3,960

D₂  = 4015

We know that the body weighs 50 pounds when it is 3,960 miles from Earth's center,

So we can plug in those values as follows:

50 / W₂ = (4,015)²/ (3,960)²

To solve for W₂, we can cross-multiply and simplify as follows:

W₂ = 50 x (3,960)² / (4,015)²

W₂ = 50 x 15,681,600 / 16,120,225

W₂ = 48.547 pounds (rounded to three decimal places)

Therefore, if the body were 4,015 miles from Earth's center, it would weigh approximately 48.547 pounds.

1. Use the five steps of hypothesis testing.

Step 1: The aim of the research is to conduct the five steps of hypothesis testing.

Step 2:

Null hypothesis: H0 u= 4

Population mean: H1 u = 4

Alternate hypothesis: u ≠ 4

Population mean: u ≠ 4

Step 3 and step 4 are attached.

Step 5: Based on the calculation, the calculated value of t is less than the t critical value, therefore, the null hypothesis will be failed to be rejected.

The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 384 seconds. For a sample of 41 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 387 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23. Find the P-value of the test statistic.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test statistic is 0.2019.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 384 seconds.

At the null hypothesis, we test if it relieves pain in at most 384 seconds, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 384[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if it relieves pain in more than 384 seconds, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 384[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

384 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 384[/tex]

For a sample of 41 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 387 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23.

This means that [tex]n = 41, X = 387, \sigma = 23[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{387 - 384}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{41}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 0.835[/tex]

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean above 387, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 0.835.

Looking at the z-table, z = 0.835 has a p-value of 0.7981.

1 - 0.7981 = 0.2019

The p-value of the test statistic is 0.2019.

Answers

Answer:

A one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 5) = 3x + 7

Distribute

4x - 20 = 3x+7

Subtract 3x from each side

4x-3x-20 = 3x+7-3x

x -20 = 7

Add 20 to each side

x -20+20 = 7+20

x = 27

There is one solution

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify that before we make the decision, shall we? We'll get rid of the parenthesis by distribution and then combine like terms.

4x - 20 = 3x + 7 and combining like terms and getting everything on one side of the equals sign:

1x - 27 = 0. Since that x has a power of 1 on it (linear), that means we have only 1 solution. If that was an x², we would have 2 solutions; if that was an x³, we would have 3 solutions, etc.

At a concession stand; three hot dogs and two hamburgers cost $9.75; two hot dogs and three hamburgers cost $10.25. Find the cost of one hot dog and the cost of one hamburger.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

hot dog: $1.75hamburger: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a hot dog and a hamburger, respectively. The the two purchases can be described by ...

  3x +2y -9.75 = 0

  2x +3y -10.25 = 0

We can list the coefficients of these general-form equations in 2 rows, listing the first one again at the end:

  3, 2, -9.75, 3

  2, 3, -10.25, 2

Now, we can form differences of cross-products in adjacent pairs of columns:

  d1 = (3)(3) -(2)(2) = 9 -4 = 5

  d2 = (2)(-10.25) -(3)(-9.75) = -20.50 +29.25 = 8.75

  d3 = (-9.75)(2) -(-10.25)(3) = -19.50 +30.75 = 11.25

Then the solutions are found from ...

  1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3

  x = d2/d1 = 8.75/5 = 1.75

  y = d3/d1 = 11.25/5 = 2.25

The cost of one hot dog is $1.75; the cost of one hamburger is $2.25.

Multiply and remove all perfect squares from inside the square roots. Assume z is positive.
√z ∗ √30z^2 ∗ √35z^3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to put parentheses around the radicands.

√z · √(30z²) · √(35z³) = √(z·30z²·35z³)

= √(1050z⁶)

= √(5²·42z⁶)

= √5²√z⁶√42

= 25z³√42

The obtained expression would be 25z³√42 which is determined by the multiplication of the terms of expression.

What is Perfect Square?

A perfect Square is defined as an integer multiplied by itself to generate a perfect square, which is a positive integer. Perfect squares are just numbers that are the products of integers multiplied by themselves.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions. The operator that performs the arithmetic operations is called the arithmetic operator.

* Multiplication operation: Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 4*2 = 8

We have been the expression as:

⇒ √z · √(30z²) · √(35z³)

Multiply and remove all perfect squares from inside the square roots

⇒ √(z·30z²·35z³)

⇒ √(1050z⁶)

⇒ √(5²·42z⁶)

Assume z is positive.

⇒ √5²√z⁶√42

⇒ 25z³√42

Therefore, the obtained expression would be 25z³√42.

What is Arithmetic Sequence?

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers where the numbers are arranged ion a definite order such that the difference of two consecutive numbers is a constant. This constant of difference is called common difference which is commonly denoted by the letter 'd'.

Given sequence of numbers is,

-8, -4, 0, 4, 8, 12, ......

We have to find which sequence does it represent.

This is not a series since they are not represented as the sum.

If the sequence is a geometric sequence, then the ratio of consecutive numbers will be same.

If it is arithmetic sequence, then the difference of consecutive numbers will be same.

Here, ratio is not same.

Difference are same.

-4 - -8 = 4, 0 - -4 = 4, 4 - 0 = 4, 8 - 4 = 4, ........

Common difference is 4.

If the dismissed employees were selected at random, what is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50

Answers

Answer:

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees are removed from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

7 + 18 = 25 employees, which means that [tex]N = 25[/tex]

7 over 50, which means that [tex]k = 7[/tex]

10 dismissed, which means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

What is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50?

This is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = h(5,25,10,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{18,5}}{C_{25,10}} = 0.055[/tex]

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

The Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

P(Z ≥ (x - μ) / σ)

P(Z ≥ (63.72 - 62.5) / 1. 96) = P(Z ≥ 0.6224)

P(Z ≥ 0.6224) = 1 - P(Z < 0.6224)
