Julian is using a biking app that compares his position to a simulated biker traveling Julian's target speed. When Julian is beh

Gwar [14]

Answer:

11 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Simulated speed = 20/km/h

Time = 15 mins = 1/4 hr = 0.25 hr

Distance Covered as per simulated speed = $20\times \frac{1}{4}=5km$

Position of Julian according to the app = $-2\frac{1}{4}=-2.25$ .

Actual distance covered by the bike is

$Distance= 5 - 2.25 = 2.75km$

Formula for speed:

$\text{Average Speed}=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

$\text{Average Speed}=\frac{2.75}{0.25}$

$\text{Average Speed}=11$

Therefore, the average speed of Julian is 11 km/hr.

What is the length of the y-component of the vector plotted below?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector shown in the figure has components on the x axis and on the y axis.

If each small box on the draw represents a unit, it can be seen that the vector has a component of<u> length equal to 1 on the positive y-axis </u>and a length equal to 4 on the positive x-axis.

Look at the attached image

The sum of these two components results in the vector shown in the figure. Therefore the correct option is option A.

The length is equal to 1

W^2=80
W SQRT80
W=8.94 ANS.FOR THE WIDTH
L=3*8.94=26.83 ANS.FOR THE LENGTH
PROOF:
240=8.94*26.83
240=240

Temka [501]

The confidence interval would be (0.122, 0.278).

We first find our z-score. We want a 95% confidence interval:

0.95/2 = 0.475

Looking this up in the z-table, (http://www.statisticshowto.com/tables/z-table/) we see the z-score is 1.96.

The formula we will use is:

$p \pm z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this problem, p = 20/100 = 0.2, and n=100:

$0.2 \pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{(0.2)(0.8)}{100}}
\\
\\0.2\pm 0.0784
\\
\\(0.2-0.0784, 0.2+0.0784)
\\
\\(0.1216,0.2784)$
