Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.573 to 4.127

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample size = 15

Mean = Sum of ratings/ sample size

Mean = 57.7/15

Mean = 3.85

Degree of freedom = sample size - 1

Degree of freedom = 15 - 1 = 14

df = 14

Then we calculate the standard deviation

(x - mean)² ||

(3.6 - 3.85)² || 0.0625

(2.9 - 3.85)² || 0.9025

(3.8 - 3.85)² || 0.0025

(4.5 - 3.85)² || 0.4225

(3.2 - 3.85)² || 0.4225

( 3.9 - 3.85)² || 0.0025

( 3.3 - 3.85)² || 0.3025

( 4.6 - 3.85)² || 0.5625

(4.1 - 3.85)² || 0.0625

(4.3 - 3.85)² || 0.2025

4.4 - 3.85)² || 0.3025

( 3.9 - 3.85)² || 0.0025

(3.2 - 3.85)² || 0.4225

( 4.2 - 3.85)² || 0.1225

( 3.8 - 3.85)² || 0.0025

Total || 3.7975

Variance = 3.7975/15 = 0.253167

Standard Deviation = √0.253167 = 0.50315703314174194

Standard Deviation = 0.5 ------- Approximated

The next step is to subtract the confidence level from 1, then divide by two.

i.e (1 - 0.95)/2 = 0.025

α = 0.025

Then we look up this answer to step in the t-distribution table.

For 14 degrees of freedom (df) and α = 0.025, my result is 2.145

The next step is to divide the sample standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.

0.5 / √15 = 0.129

Next is to multiply this result by step 2.145 (from the t table)

0.129 × 2.45 = 0.277

For the lower end of the range, subtract 0.277 from the sample mean.

3.85 – 0.277 = 3.573

Step 7: For the upper end of the range, add step 0.277 to the sample mean.

3.85 + 0.277 = 4.127

A customer at a self -storage facility was offered a choice between a storage unit shaped like a cube and another unit is 2 feet longer,5 feet shorter than the first unit. The customer thinks that f the volume of the cube is x^3 the volume of the other unit would be x^3-4x^2-11x+30. Is the customer correct ?

Answers

Answer: No, the Volume is x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the volume of the cubic storage unit is x^3

Therefore,

Length = x

Width = x

Height = x

For the new storage unit

Length = x + 2

Width = x

Height = x - 5

Volume = ( x + 2)(x)(x -5)

V = x (x^2 -3x - 10)

V = x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x

Therefore, the volume of the new storage unit is x^3 - 3x^2 - 10x

Answer:the customer is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

In a cube, all 4 sides are equal. The volume of a cube that has x as the length of each side would be x^3

If the customer thinks that f the volume of the cube is x^3, it means that each side is x. Then the other storage unit offered to the customer is 2 feet longer,5 feet shorter than the first unit. Its dimensions would be (x+ 2) feet, (x - 5) feet and x feet

The volume of the other storage unit should be

x[(x + 2)(x - 5)] = x(x^2 - 5x + 2x + 10)

= x(x^2 - 3x + 10)

= x^3 - 3x^2 + 10x

Which of the following statements are true of hypothesis tests?

1.You must state null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the problem.

2.You must state a significance level so you can decide if a given P-value gives you evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

3.You must state a conclusion in the context of the problem.

Answers

In hypothesis testing, it is critical to state the null and alternative hypotheses, choose an appropriate significance level, and conclude in the context of the problem. Decisions must reflect the probabilistic nature of the tests, with careful consideration of Type I and Type II errors.

In hypothesis testing, the following statements are indeed true:

You must state null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the problem.

You must state a significance level so you can decide if a given P-value provides evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

You must state a conclusion in the context of the problem.

When conducting a hypothesis test, one must also be mindful not to claim that a hypothesis is definitively proven true or false due to the probabilistic nature of hypothesis testing. Instead, you can infer whether there is sufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis if the null hypothesis is rejected. However, remember that making a decision at a certain significance level involves a trade-off between Type I and Type II errors.

a. Write an equation that represents the sum of the angle measures of the triangle.

b. Use your equation and the equation shown to find the values of x and y.

Answers

The Triangle Angle Sum Theorem states that the sum of interior angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. Represented by the equation x + y + z = 180°, it allows for solving missing angles in a triangle using x = 180° - y - z or similar expressions.

Understanding the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem:

In any triangle, regardless of its shape or size, the sum of the interior angles always equals 180 degrees. This is known as the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem.

This theorem is a fundamental property of triangles and has numerous applications in geometry and other mathematical fields.

Representing the Angle Sum with an Equation:

Let's use variables to represent the angle measures of a triangle:

Angle 1 = x

Angle 2 = y

Angle 3 = z

According to the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, the equation becomes:

x + y + z = 180°

Solving for Missing Angles:

This equation can be used to solve for any missing angle if we know the values of the other two angles.

For example, if we know the measures of angles y and z, we can find x using:

x = 180° - y - z

Similarly, we can find y or z if we know x and the other angle.

Example:

Consider a triangle with angles x = 50°, y = 70°, and z unknown.

Using the equation:

z = 180° - x - y = 180° - 50° - 70° = 60°

The equation that represents the sum of the angle measures of the triangle is 2y + x = 198.

The value of x is 86 and the value of y is 56.

A)

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle adds up to 180 degrees.

Hence, the equation that represents the sum of the angle measures of the given triangle is:

( y - 18 ) + y + x = 180

Simplifying; we get:

y + y + x = 180 + 18

2y + x = 198

B)

To solve for the values of x and y, we solve the system of equations:

2y + x = 198

3x - 5y = -22

Solve for x in equation 1:

2y + x = 198

x = -2y + 198

Plug x = -2y + 198 into equation 2 and solve for y:

3( -2y + 198 ) - 5y = -22

-6y + 594 - 5y = -22

-11y + 594 = -22

11y = 594 + 22

11y = 616

y = 616/11

y = 56

Now, plug y = 56 into equation 3 and solve for x:

x = -2y + 198

x = -2( 56 ) + 198

x = -112 + 198

x = 86

Therefore, the x = 86 and y = 56.

Nationwide, the average waiting time until a electric utility customer service representative answers a call is 200 seconds per call. The Gigantic Kilowatt Energy Company took a sample of 30 calls and found that, on the average, they answered in 120 seconds per call. Moreover, it is know that the standard deviation of the times for all such calls is 25 seconds. At the .05 significance level, is there evidence that this company's mean response time is lower than the average utility?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{120-200}{\frac{25}{\sqrt{30}}}=-17.527[/tex]  

[tex]p_v =P(Z<-17.527) \approx 0[/tex]  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.  

We can say that at 5% of significance the mean average waiting time is significantly less than 200 seconds per call.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

[tex]\bar X=120[/tex] represent the sample mean  

[tex]\sigma=25[/tex] represent the population standard deviation  

[tex]n=30[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =200[/tex] represent the value that we want to test  

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the population mean is less than 200, the system of hypothesis are :  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 200[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 200[/tex]  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{120-200}{\frac{25}{\sqrt{30}}}=-17.527[/tex]  

P-value  

Since is a one-side left tailed test the p value would given by:  

[tex]p_v =P(Z<-17.527) \approx 0[/tex]  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.  

We can say that at 5% of significance the mean average waiting time is significantly less than 200 seconds per call.

Approximately how much principal would need to be placed into an account earning 3.575% interest compounded quarterly so that it has an accumulated value of $68,000 at the end of 30 years

Answers

Answer: the principal is approximately 23377

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Initial amount deposited into the account be $x This means that the principal is P = $x

It was compounded quarterly. This means that it was compounded four times in a year. So

n = 4

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 3.575%. So

r = 3.575/100 = 0.03575

It would be compounded for 30 years So

t = 30

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.

A is given as $68,000

Therefore

68000= x (1+0.03575/4)^4×30

68000= x (1+0.0089375)^120

68000= x (1.0089375)^120

68000 = 2.90878547719x

In control as this one data point is not more than three standard deviations from the meanC. Out of control as this one data point is more than three standard deviations from the meanD. Out of control as this one data point is more than two standard deviations from the mean

Answers

Answer:

Option B) In control as this one data point is not more than three standard deviations from the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 104 rotations per minute

Standard Deviation, σ = 8.2 rotations per

We are given that the distribution of process is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

[tex]z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

For x = 118

[tex]z = \displaystyle\frac{118-104}{8.2} = 1.7073[/tex]

Thus, we could say that this data point lies within three standard deviations from the mean as:

[tex]\mu - 3\sigma < x < \mu + 3\sigma\\104-3(8.2) < x < 104 + 3(8.2)\\79.4 < 118 < 128.6[/tex]

Thus, it could be said

Option B) In control as this one data point is not more than three standard deviations from the mean

Final answer:

The process would be considered out of control as the randomly selected minute has more than two standard deviations away from the mean.

Explanation:

To determine whether the process is in control or out of control, we can use the Empirical Rule. The Empirical Rule states that approximately 68 percent of the data is within one standard deviation of the mean, approximately 95 percent of the data is within two standard deviations of the mean, and more than 99 percent of the data is within three standard deviations of the mean. In this case, since the randomly selected minute has 118 rotations per minute, which is more than two standard deviations away from the mean (104 rotations per minute), the process would be considered out of control.

For women aged​ 18-24, systolic blood pressures are normally distributed with a mean of 114.8 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 13.1 mm Hg. If 23 women aged​ 18-24 are randomly​ selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is between 119 and 122 mm Hg. Round to four decimal places.

Answers

The probability is approximately 0.0833, indicating an 8.33% chance that the mean falls between 119 and 122 mm Hg.

To determine the probability that the mean systolic blood pressure of 23 randomly selected women aged 18-24 falls between 119 and 122 mm Hg, we utilize the Central Limit Theorem and z-scores.

First, we calculate the standard error of the mean (SEM) using the population standard deviation and the sample size. With a mean of 114.8 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 13.1 mm Hg, the SEM is approximately 2.7316 mm Hg.

Then, we standardize the values of 119 and 122 mm Hg into z-scores. For 119 mm Hg, the z-score is approximately 0.3206, and for 122 mm Hg, it's approximately 0.5496.

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we find the area under the curve between these z-scores, representing the probability. Subtracting the cumulative probability of the lower z-score from the higher z-score gives us approximately 0.0833. This indicates that there's an 8.33% chance that the mean systolic blood pressure of the 23 randomly selected women aged 18-24 falls between 119 and 122 mm Hg. Thus, within the specified range, there's a moderate probability of occurrence based on the given parameters of the population distribution.

[tex]\displaystyle a_n=a_1+(n-1)r\ ........[eq\ 1][/tex]

And the sum of all n terms is

[tex]\displaystyle s_n=\frac{a_1+a_n}{2}n...... [eq\ 2][/tex]

The sequence of the question complies with

[tex]\displaystyle s_n=342[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle a_n=3a_1[/tex]

Using the last condition in eq 1 and knowing that r=1 (consecutive numbers)

[tex]\displaystyle a_n=a_1+n-1=3a_1[/tex]

Rearranging

[tex]\displaystyle 2a_1=n-1[/tex]

Using eq 2

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a_1+a_n}{2}n=342[/tex]

Replacing the first condition

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a_1+3a_1}{2}n=342[/tex]

Simplifying

[tex]\displaystyle 2a_1\ n=342[/tex]

Since  

[tex]\displaystyle 2a_1=n-1[/tex]

We have

[tex]\displaystyle n(n-1)=342[/tex]

Factoring

[tex]\displaystyle n(n-1)=(19)(18)[/tex]

We find the number of terms

[tex]\displaystyle n=19[/tex]

The first term is

[tex]\displaystyle a_1=\ \frac{342}{38}=9[/tex]

Final answer:

The smallest integer is 6, and the sequence contains 19 terms.

Explanation:

To solve the problem about a sequence of consecutive integers where the sum is 342 and the largest integer is three times the smallest integer, we will use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence and set up a system of equations. The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by: S = ½ n(first integer + last integer), where S is the sum of the sequence, n is the number of terms, the first integer is a, and the last integer is l. We are given S = 342 and l = 3a.

Let's set up the system of equations:

S = ½ n(a + l)l = 3aS = 342

By substituting l = 3a into the first equation, we get:

342 = ½ n(a + 3a)342 = ½ n(4a)

Hence, n and a must be factors of 684 (since 342 = 2 × 171 = 4 × 342). Through trial and error or using a system of linear equations, we can find the appropriate values of n and a that will satisfy both the sum and the relationship between the smallest and largest integers.

Ultimately, we find that the smallest integer in the sequence is 6, and the sequence contains 19 terms.

A rancher purchased an SUV for $33,714 and made a down payment of 15% of the cost. The balance was financed for 4 years at an annual interest rate of 7%. Find the monthly truck payment. ​

Answers

Formula for monthly payment is:

A = P x (r(1+r)^t)/((1+r)^t-1) where P is the amount financed, r is the interest rate divided by 12 and t is the amount of time for the loan in months.

P = 33714 x 0.85 = 28656.90

A = 28656.90 x (0.07/12 (1+0.07/12)^48) / (1 +0.07/12)^48 - 1)

A = $686.23

A hemispherical plate with diameter 6 ft is submerged vertically 1 ft below the surface of the water. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.) 2δ 3 Correct: Your answer is correct. 0 dy ≈ lb

Answers

Answer:

F = 7476 N

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

diameter of hemispherical plate = 6 ft

height of submergence = 1 ft

the weight density of water =  62.5 lb/ft³

Assuming that hemispherical plate is residing on x and y axis.

bottom of plate is on x-axis and left side of the plate touches y-axis

now, plate is defined by the upper half of the circle

(x - 3)² + (y-0)² = 3²

  y² = 9 - (x - 3)²

  y = √(9 - (x - 3)²)

hydro static pressure on one  side of plate.

[tex]F = \int \rho g x w(x)dx[/tex]

[tex]F = \int_0^3 62.5\times 9.8 x \times \sqrt{9-(x-3)^2}dx[/tex]

[tex]F = 612.5 \int_0^3 x \times \sqrt{9-(x-3)^2}dx[/tex]

on solving the above equation

[tex]F = 612.5(27\dfrac{\pi}{4}-9)[/tex]

F = 7476 N

Use the Divergence Theorem to compute the net outward flux of the following field across the given surface S.

F = < 8y^2 - 3x, -9x+4y, -2y^3 +z >

S is the sphere {(x,y,z): x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 9}

Find net outward flux across the surface.

Answers

Answer:

Flux across S = 72π

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the divergence of the vector field:

Div F = [tex]\frac{dFx}{dx} + \frac{dfy}{dy} + \frac{dFz}{dz}[/tex]

Where

Fx = 8y^2 - 3x

Fy = -9x+4y

Fz = -2y^3 +z

Then

Div F = -3 +4 + 1  = 2

And how the vector field’s divergence is a constant, we can calculate the flux across of the surface how:

Flux across S = Div F * Volume of Sphere

Fluz acroos S = 2(4/3)π[tex]r^{3}[/tex]

                 r : Sphere’s radio

Flux across S = (2)(4/3)π[tex]3^{3}[/tex]

                       = 72π

Final answer:

To compute the net outward flux of the field across the sphere, first calculate the divergence of the field and then apply the Divergence Theorem. The flux equals the integral of the divergence over the volume of the sphere.

Explanation:

The first step of this problem is to compute the divergence of the vector field F. The divergence is the scalar quantity obtained by performing a dot product of the del operator with the field. For the given field F = <8y² - 3x, -9x + 4y, -2y³+ z>, the divergence is thus Div(F) = ∇.F = d(8y² - 3x)/dx + d(-9x + 4y)/dy + d(-2y³ + z)/dz.

For the sphere S where x² + y² + z² = 9, the radius r is √9 = 3. According to the Divergence Theorem, the flux across the boundary of the volume enclosed by S equals the triple integral of the divergence over the volume. So, the outward flux = ∫∫∫(Div(F).dV), where the triple integral is taken over the volume of the sphere.

Carry out the calculations to find the exact value of the outward flux.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of trips to the airport and

Let y represent the number of trips from the airport.

A taxi driver had 44 fares to and from the airport last Monday. This means that

x + y = 44

The price for a ride to the airport is $7, and the price for a ride from the airport is $6. The driver collected a total of $289 for the day. This means that

7x + 6y = 289 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 44 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(44 - y) + 6y = 289

308 - 7y + 6y = 289

- 7y + 6y = 289 - 308

-y = - 19

y = 19

x = 44 - y

x = 44 - 19

An insurance company is interested in conducting a study to to estimate the population proportion of teenagers who obtain a driving permit within 1 year of their 16th birthday. A level of confidence of 99% will be used and an error of no more than .04 is desired. There is no knowledge as to what the population proportion will be. The size of sample should be at least _______.

Answers

Answer:

n=1041  or higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

[tex]p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})[/tex]

2) Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.99=0.01[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.005[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58[/tex]

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]    (a)  

And on this case we have that [tex]ME =\pm 0.04[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

[tex]n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}[/tex]   (b)  

Since we don't have a prior estimation for th proportion of interest, we can use this value as an estimation [tex]\hat p =0.5[/tex] And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

[tex]n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{2.58})^2}=1040.06[/tex]  

And rounded up we have that n=1041  or higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Ron  finds 9 books at a bookstore that he would like to buy, but he can afford only 5 of them.

Out of 9 books he has to select 5 of them

Here selection of books can be done in any order.  Hence order does not matter

No of ways he selects 5 books out of 9 books = 9C5

= 126

A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of 36​m/sec reaches a height of s = 36t - 0.8 t^2 meters in t sec.
a. Find the​ rock's velocity and acceleration at time t.
b. How long does it take the rock to reach its highest​ point?
c. How high does the rock​ go?
d. How long does it take the rock to reach half its maximum​ height?
e. How long is the rock​ a loft?

Answers

Answer:

a. The rock's velocity is [tex]v(t)=36-1.6t \:{(m/s)}[/tex]  and the acceleration is [tex]a(t)=-1.6  \:{(m/s^2)}[/tex]

b. It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock goes up to 405 m.

d. It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of displacement. [tex]v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}[/tex]Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. [tex]a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}[/tex]

a.

The rock's velocity is the derivative of the height function [tex]s(t) = 36t - 0.8 t^2[/tex]

[tex]v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36t - 0.8 t^2) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(36t\right)-\frac{d}{dt}\left(0.8t^2\right)\\\\v(t)=36-1.6t[/tex]

The rock's acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function [tex]v(t)=36-1.6t[/tex]

[tex]a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36-1.6t)\\\\a(t)=-1.6[/tex]

b. The rock will reach its highest point when the velocity becomes zero.

[tex]v(t)=36-1.6t=0\\36\cdot \:10-1.6t\cdot \:10=0\cdot \:10\\360-16t=0\\360-16t-360=0-360\\-16t=-360\\t=\frac{45}{2}=22.5[/tex]

It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock reach its highest point when t = 22.5 s

Thus

[tex]s(22.5) = 36(22.5) - 0.8 (22.5)^2\\s(22.5) =405[/tex]

So the rock goes up to 405 m.

d. The maximum height is 405 m. So the half of its maximum height = [tex] \frac{405}{2} =202.5 \:m[/tex]

To find the time it reach half its maximum height, we need to solve

[tex]36t - 0.8 t^2=202.5\\36t\cdot \:10-0.8t^2\cdot \:10=202.5\cdot \:10\\360t-8t^2=2025\\360t-8t^2-2025=2025-2025\\-8t^2+360t-2025=0[/tex]

For a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] the solutions are

[tex]x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=-8,\:b=360,\:c=-2025:\\\\t=\frac{-360+\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2-\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 6.59\\\\t=\frac{-360-\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2+\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 38.41[/tex]

It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. It is aloft until s(t) = 0 again

[tex]36t - 0.8 t^2=0\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}36t-0.8t^2\rightarrow -t\left(0.8t-36\right)\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\\\t=0,\:t=45[/tex]

The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Final answer:

The question explores kinematic principles by calculating the velocity, acceleration, time to reach the highest point, maximum height, time to reach half the maximum height, and total duration aloft for a rock thrown vertically on the moon, giving us the values as follows upon solving.

v(t) = (36 - 1.6t) m/s

a(t) = -1.6 m/s²

t_highest = 22.5 seconds

h_max = 405 meters

t_half ≈ 11.6 seconds

t_total = 45 seconds

Explanation:

The question involves calculating velocity, acceleration, and the dynamics of a rock thrown vertically on the moon, illustrating concepts from kinematic equations in physics.

a. Velocity and acceleration at time t

The velocity of the rock at time t is given by the derivative of the position function s = 36t - 0.8t², which is v(t) = 36 - 1.6t Acceleration, being the derivative of velocity, is constant at -1.6 m/s², due to moon's gravity.

b. Time to reach the highest point

At the highest point, the velocity is 0. Setting v(t) = 0, we find t = 22.5 seconds.

c. Height at the highest point

Plugging t = 22.5 into the position function, we find the maximum height is 405 meters.

d. Time to reach half the maximum height

Setting s = 202.5 meters in the original equation and solving for t, we find two values, but the relevant one is approximately 11.6 seconds.

e. Total duration aloft

To find when the rock returns to the surface, set s = 0 in the original equation and solve for t, giving a total duration of 45 seconds.

If X and Y are any random variables with E(X) = 5, E(Y) = 6, E(XY) = 21, V(X) = 9 and V(Y) = 10, then the relationship between X and Y is a:
-strong positive relationship
-strong negative relationship
-weak positive relationship
-weak negative relationship

Answers

Answer:

We have a strong negative relationship between the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two random variables X and Y, it is possible to calculate the covariance as Cov(X, Y) = E(XY)-E(X)E(Y). We have E(X)=5, E(Y)=6 and E(XY)=21. Therefore Cov(X,Y)=21-(5)(6)=21-30=-9. On the other hand, we know that the correlation of X and Y is the number defined by [tex]Cov(X,Y)/\sqrt{Var(X)}\sqrt{Var(Y)}[/tex] and because in this particular case we have V(X)=9 and V(Y)=10, we have [tex]-9/\sqrt{9}\sqrt{10}[/tex] = -0.9487. Therefore, we have a strong negative relationship between the variables.

Final answer:

The X and Y variables have a strong negative relationship.

Explanation:

The X and Y variables have a strong negative relationship. This can be determined by analyzing the correlation coefficient, which indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.

In this case, since the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero (positive or negative), we can conclude that there is a significant linear relationship between X and Y. The fact that the correlation coefficient is negative indicates that as X increases, Y tends to decrease, and vice versa.

Therefore, the correct answer is strong negative relationship.
