Dalia flies an ultralight plane with a tailwind to a nearby town in 1/3 of an hour. On the return trip, she travels the same dis

tance in 3/5 of an hour. What is the average rate of speed of the wind and the average rate of speed of the plane?
Initial trip:
Return trip:
Let x be the average airspeed of the plane.
Let y be the average wind speed.
Initial trip: 18 = (x + y)
Return trip: 18 = (x – y)
Dalia had an average airspeed of miles per hour.
The average wind speed was miles per hour.

Answer:

the average airspeed of the plane = 42 miles per hour

the average wind speed = 12 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the average airspeed of the plane.

Let y be the average wind speed.

Distance =time * speed

Initial trip: $18 = \frac{1}{3}(x+y)$

Return trip: $18 = \frac{3}{5}(x+y)$

We solve for x and y

$18 = \frac{1}{3}(x+y)$

Multiply both sides by 3

54= x+ y

y= 54- x ------------> equation 1

$18 = \frac{3}{5}(x+y)$

Multiply both side by 5

90 = 3(x-y)

90= 3x- 3y ------------------> equation 2

Plug in y=54-x in second equation

90= 3x- 3(54-x)

90 = 3x - 162 + 3x

90 = -162 + 6x

Add 162 on both sides

252= 6x

Divide both sides by 6

So x= 42

y= 54- x

Plug in 42 for x

y= 54 - 42= 12

the average airspeed of the plane = 42 miles per hour

the average wind speed = 12 miles per hour

Willie and his brothers went to TGI Mondays. Their order consisted of 3 cheeseburgers at $8.75 each, a fish sandwich for $6.75,

Sladkaya [172]

<u>Answer:</u>$68.69

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Calculation of bill value

Cheeseburgers = 26.25

(8.75 x 3)

Fish Sandwich = 6.75

Pizza = 14.99

Sweet Tea

(4 x 2.09) = 8.36

Total of items = 56.35

Sales tax on food = 3.381

(56.35 x 6%)

Total bill value = 59.731

Calculation of tips

Bill value x 15%

=59.731 x 15%

Tips paid=8.95965

Calculation of meals cost

Total meal cost = Bill value + tips

=59.731+8.95965

=$68.69

Total meal cost is $68.69

horsena [70]

Answer:

$ 24.30

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $32.40 multiplied by 15 which would equal 486

2. Then you would do 486 divided by 20 which would equal $24.3

3. Then you just add the zero the the end

To test whether or not there is a difference between treatments A, B, and C, a sample of 12 observations has been randomly assig

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1. Null hypothesis: $\mu_{A}=\mu_{B}=\mu_{C}$

Alternative hypothesis: Not all the means are equal $\mu_{i}\neq \mu_{j}, i,j=A,B,C$

2. D. 36

3. C. 34

4. B. 1.059

5. B. 8.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"

Part 1

The hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{A}=\mu_{B}=\mu_{C}$

Alternative hypothesis: Not all the means are equal $\mu_{i}\neq \mu_{j}, i,j=A,B,C$

Part 2

In order to find the mean square between treatments (MSTR), we need to find first the sum of squares and the degrees of freedom.

If we assume that we have $p$ groups and on each group from $j=1,\dots,p$ we have $n_j$ individuals on each group we can define the following formulas of variation:

$SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x)^2$

$SS_{between}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2$

$SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2$

And we have this property

$SST=SS_{between}+SS_{within}$

We need to find the mean for each group first and the grand mean.

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

If we apply the before formula we can find the mean for each group

$\bar X_A = 27$ , $\bar X_B = 24$ , $\bar X_C = 30$ . And the grand mean $\bar X = 27$

Now we can find the sum of squares between:

$SS_{between}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2$

Each group have a sample size of 4 so then $n_j =4$

$SS_{between}=SS_{model}=4(27-27)^2 +4(24-27)^2 +4(30-27)^2=72$

The degrees of freedom for the variation Between is given by $df_{between}=k-1=3-1=2$ , Where k the number of groups k=3.

Now we can find the mean square between treatments (MSTR) we just need to use this formula:

$MSTR=\frac{SS_{between}}{k-1}=\frac{72}{2}=36$

D. 36

Part 3

For the mean square within treatments value first we need to find the sum of squares within and the degrees of freedom.

$SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2$

$SS_{error}=(20-27)^2 +(30-27)^2 +(25-27)^2 +(33-27)^2 +(22-24)^2 +(26-24)^2 +(20-24)^2 +(28-24)^2 +(40-30)^2 +(30-30)^2 +(28-30)^2 +(22-30)^2 =306$

And the degrees of freedom are given by:

$df_{within}=N-k =3*4 -3 = 12-3=9$ . N represent the total number of individuals we have 3 groups each one with a size of 4 individuals. And k the number of groups k=3.

And now we can find the mean square within treatments:

$MSE=\frac{SS_{within}}{N-k}=\frac{306}{9}=34$

C. 34

Part 4

The test statistic F is given by this formula:

$F=\frac{MSTR}{MSE}=\frac{36}{34}=1.059$

B. 1.059

Part 5

The critical value is from a F distribution with degrees of freedom in the numerator of 2 and on the denominator of 9 such that we have 0.01 of the area in the distribution on the right.

And we can use excel to find this critical value with this function:

"=F.INV(1-0.01,2,9)"

And we will see that the critical value is $F_{crit}=8.02$

B. 8.02

Sketch the two quadrilaterals and label them as shown in the figure below.

Let x = length of the 4th side of ABCD.

Because ABCD ~ EFGH, therefore
