Time = distance/speed

The distance between the walkers increases at the rate of (8 mph) -(2 mph) = 6 mph. That distance will be 4.5 mi after ...
  (4.5 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4.5/6 h = 3/4 h

In 3/4 hour they will be 4.5 miles apart.

According to a Field Poll conducted February 8 – 17, 2005, 79% of California adults (actual results are 400 out of 506 surveyed)
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: (0.760, 0.820)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion of all adults feel that "education and our schools" is one of the top issues facing California.

Given : 79% (actual results are 400 out of 506 surveyed) of California adults feel that "education and our schools" is one of the top issues facing California.

i.e.Sample size : n= 506

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=0.79

Critical value for 90% confidence interval ( Using z-value table) :

z=1.645

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion will be :

\hat{p}\pm z\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.79\pm (1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.79(1-0.79)}{506}}

i.e. 0.79\pm (1.645)(0.0181)

\approx0.79\pm 0.030=(0.79-0.030,\ 0.79+0.030)\\\\=(0.760,\ 0.820)

Hence, the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion= (0.760, 0.820)

never [62]

Answer:28.071

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

vector component is (15,8)

i.e. its x component is 15 from origin and y component is 8 m

So angle made by vector with x axis is

tan\theta =\frac{8}{15}

\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{8}{15}

Answer: 2 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:
