A certain weightlifter is prone to back injury. He finds that he has a 20% chance of hurting his back if he uses the proper form

of bending at the hips and keeping his spine locked. The probability that he will hurt his back with bad form is 95%. The probability that he uses proper form is 75%. What is the probability he hurts his back

Answer:

Probability weightlifter hurts his back = 0.3875 i.e 38.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of using right body form = 75%

Probability of using bad body form : 1 - Prob (right body form) = 1 - 75% = 25%  

Probability of getting injured if right body form = 20%

Probability of getting injured if using bad body form = 95%

  • Probability of getting injury :

Prob (Right body form & injury) or Prob (wrong body firm & injury)

(0.75) (0.20) + (0.25) (0.95)

0.15 + 0.2375

= 0.3875 i.e 38.75%

Answer:

a. H0:μ1≥μ2

Ha:μ1<μ2

b. t=-3.076

c. Rejection region=[tcalculated<−1.717]

Reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As the score for group 1 is lower than group 2,

Null hypothesis: H0:μ1≥μ2

Alternative hypothesis: H1:μ1<μ2

b) t test statistic for equal variances

t=(xbar1-xbar2)-(μ1-μ2)/sqrt[{1/n1+1/n2}*{((n1-1)s1²+(n2-1)s2²)/n1+n2-2}

t=63.3-70.2/sqrt[{1/11+1/13}*{((11-1)3.7²+(13-1)6.6²)/11+13-2}

t=-6.9/sqrt[{0.091+0.077}{136.9+522.72/22}]

t=-3.076

c. α=0.05, df=22

t(0.05,22)=-1.717

The rejection region is t calculated<t critical value

t<-1.717

We can see that the calculated value of t-statistic falls in rejection region and so we reject the null hypothesis at 5% significance level.

A motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 144 km going upstream. The trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat
allsm [11]
Let x be rate of boat in still water
let y be rate of current

we use this equation to relate quantities:
distance = speed · time

we have two unknowns so we might need to create a system of equationss

upstream:

speed (in km/h) = x - y
(we get speed of boat then subtract the current's speed from it since current is going against boat direction)

time = 3 hours

distance = 144 km

downstream:

speed (in hm/h) = x + y
(we get speed of boat then add the current's spd from it since current is going against boat direction)

time = 2 hours

distance = 144 km (same distance upstream and downstream)

using distance = speed times time

for upstream
144 =  3(x-y)
144 = 3x - 3y

for downstream
144 = 2(x+y)
72 = x + y

system of eqns:
144 = 3x - 3y
72 = x + y

solve by substitution: move 72 = x + y into x = 72 - y and subst into other equation for x

144 = 3(72 - y) - 3y
144 = 216 - 3y - 3y
144 = 216 - 6y
144 - 216 = -6y
-72 = -6y
y = 12 km/h

Use x = 72 - y to find x with y = 12: x = 72 - 12 = 60 km/h

rate of boat in still water is 60 km/h
rate of the current is 12 km/h
