Answer:

The time of a commercial airplane is 280 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the speed of a commercial airplane

y ----> the speed of a jet plane

t -----> the time that a jet airplane takes from Vancouver to Regina

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

y=2x ----> equation A

The speed of a commercial airplane is equal to

x=1,730/(t+140) ----> equation B

The speed of a jet airplane is equal to

y=1,730/t -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

1,730/t=2(1,730/(t+140))

Solve for t

1/t=(2/(t+140))

t+140=2t

2t-t=140

t=140 minutes

The time of a commercial airplane is

t+140=140+140=280 minutes

Artyom0805 [142]

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
2/9 ------> 3/5
x ---------> 1
Clearing x we have:
x = (1 / (3/5)) * (2/9)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/3) * (2/9)
x = 10/27
Answer:
he irons 10/27 of his shirt every minute

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis for this test are

$H_0: \mu\ge 215\\\\H_1: \mu< 215$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a hypothesis test, we can reject or not reject the null hypothesis.

To conclude that the tires have a decreased stopping distance (μ<215), we should state the null hypothesis $H_0: \mu\ge 215$ and then go on with the analysis to reject it (or not).

If the null hypothesis is rejected, the claim of the manufacturer is rigth.

The alternative hypothesis would be $H_1: \mu$ , that would turn rigth if the null hypothesis is rejected.

Jerome went on a hike. He climbed three-fourths of a mile in two-thirds of an hour. What was his hiking speed in miles per hour?

OlgaM077 [116]

You could do this with fractions. I'll do decimals later.

d = 3/4 mile
t = 2/3 hour
r = ????

r = 3/4 // 2/3 Invert and multiply the denominator
r = 3/4 * 3/2 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

If your calculator handles fractions, you can use it to do this. If not you can change this to a decimal.
d = 3/4 = 0.75 miles
t = 2/3 hour = 0.666666666 hours.
r = ???

d = r*t
r = d/t
r = 0.75 / 0.66666667
r = 1.125 miles / hour
which gives you exactly the same answer 1.125 = 1 1/8

Use the values on the number line to find the sampling error.

pantera1 [17]

Part 1:

Given a number line with the point $\bar{x}=3.8$ and the point $\mu=4.27$

The sampling error is given by:

$\bar{x}-\mu=3.8-4.27=-0.47$

Part 2:

Given a number line with the point $\bar{x}=26.43$ and the point $\mu=24.67$

The sampling error is given by:

$\bar{x}-\mu=26.43-24.67=1.76$
