Answer with explanation:

It is given that , ride at an amusement park moves the riders in a circle at a rate of 6.0 m/s.

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=6 m/s

Radius of Circle = 9.0 meters

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity,which will be perpendicular to radius vector.

Also, in terms of mathematics, line from center that is radius , to point of contact that is tangent line ,which is on the circle are perpendicular to each another.

→r(radius vector) ⊥  a(Acceleration vector).

So, In option A, Radius vector is Perpendicular to acceleration of riders.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean GPA of night students and μ2 be the mean GPA of day students.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean GPA of night students and the mean GPA of day students.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 2.35

x2 = 2.58

s1 = 0.46

s2 = 0.47

n1 = 30

n2 = 25

t = (2.35 - 2.58)/√(0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25)

t = - 1.82

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25]²/[(1/30 - 1)(0.46²/30)² + (1/25 - 1)(0.47²/25)²] = 0.00025247091/0.00000496862

df = 51

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.075

Alpha = 5% = 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.075, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis.

sasho [114]

Answer:

a)0,45119

b)1

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A of the problem we must first find the probability that both people in the couple have the same birthday (April 30)

P=\frac{1}{365} *\frac{1}{365}=\frac{1}{133225} \\

Now the poisson approximation is used

λ=nP=80000*1/133225=0,6

Now, let X be the number of couples that birth April 30

P(X ≥ 1) =

1 − P(X = 0) =

1-\frac{(e^-0.6)*(-0,6)^{0} }{0!}

P(X ≥ 1) = 0,45119

B)  Now want to find the

probability that both partners celebrated their birthday on th, assuming that the year is 52 weeks and therefore 52 thursday

P=52*\frac{1}{365} *\frac{1}{365}=\frac{52}{133225} \\

Now the poisson approximation is used

λ=nP=80000*52/133225=31.225

Now, let X be the number of couples that birth same day

P(X ≥ 1) =

1 − P(X = 0) =

1-\frac{(e^-31.225)*(-31.225)^{0} }{0!}

P(X ≥ 1) = 1

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) 0.0392

b) 0.4688

c) At least $39,070 to be among the 5% most expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 29858, \sigma = 5600

a. What is the probability that a wedding costs less than $20,000 (to 4 decimals)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 20000. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20000 - 29858}{5600}

Z = -1.76

Z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392.

So this probability is 0.0392.

b. What is the probability that a wedding costs between $20,000 and $30,000 (to 4 decimals)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 30000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20000.

X = 30000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{30000 - 29858}{5600}

Z = 0.02

Z = 0.02 has a pvalue of 0.5080.

X = 20000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20000 - 29858}{5600}

Z = -1.76

Z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392.

So this probability is 0.5080 - 0.0392 = 0.4688

c. For a wedding to be among the 5% most expensive, how much would it have to cost (to the nearest whole number)?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So this is X when Z = 1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 29858}{5600}

X - 29858 = 5600*1.645

X = 39070

The wedding would have to cost at least $39,070 to be among the 5% most expensive.

5. When looking at a map, a student realizes that Birmingham is nearly due west of Atlanta, and Nashville is nearly due north of
leonid [27]

Answer: 250 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can think in a triangle rectangle:

The distance from Birmingham to Atlanta is roughly 150 mi, and this is one of the cathetus.

And the distance from Birmingham to Nashville is roughly 200 mi, this is the other cathetus of the triangle.

Now, the distance from Atlanta to Nashville will be the hypotenuse of this triangle rectangle.

Now we can apply the Pythagorean's theorem:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

Where A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse:

Then:

H = √(A^2 + B^2)

H = √(150^2 + 200^2) mi = √(62,500) mi = 250 mi

Then the estimated distance from Atlanta to Nashville is 250 mi
