Answer:

The ultra-marathon Idita Rod Trail is about 38 times longer than the Boston Marathon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of the Boston Marathon in meters

y -----> the  length of the Idita rod Trail Invitational ultra-marathon in meters

we have

x=4.2*10^4\ m

y=1.6*10^6\ m

we know that

To find out how many times as long is the course of the Idita rod Trail ultra-marathon as that of the Boston Marathon, divide the length of the Idita rod Trail Invitational ultra-marathon by the length of the  Boston Marathon

so

\frac{y}{x}

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1.6*10^6}{4.2*10^4}

Remember that

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents

\frac{1.6*10^6}{4.2*10^4}=\frac{1.6}{4.2}*(10^{6-4})=0.381*(10^{2})=38.1

therefore

The ultra-marathon Idita Rod Trail is about 38 times longer than the Boston Marathon.

Ed is 7 years older than Ted. Ed’s age is also 3/4 times Ted’s age. How old are Ed and Ted?
svetlana [45]
Let Ted be x.

Ed is 7 years older =  x  + 7

Ed = (3/4)Ted

(x + 7) = (3/4)x

x + 7 = 3x/4

x - 3x/4 = -7

x/4 = -7

x = -28,           Ted = -28 years.

(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21,      Ed = -21 years

Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense?  No it doesn't.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.

<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

Which point shows the location of 5 – 2i on the complex plane below? On a coordinate plane, points A, B, C, and D are shown. Poi
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The Point C shows the location of 5-2i in the complex plane: 5 points to the right of the origin and 2 points down from the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the complex number 5-2i and we have to show the location of the point that represents that number in the complex plane

In the complex plane the real numbers are located in the horizontal axis, increasing to the right. The positives real numbers are at the right of the origin and the negatives to the left.

The complex numbers are located in the vertical axis, with the positives over the origin and the negatives below the origin.

This complex number 5-2i is the sum of a real part (5) and a imaginary part (-2i), so the point will be 5 units rigth on the horizontal axis (for the real part) and 2 units down in the vertical axis (for the imaginary part).

Three assembly lines are used to produce a certain component for an airliner. To examine the production rate, a random sample of
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a) Reject H₀

b) [0.31; 3.35]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a) The objective of this example is to compare if the population means of the production rate of the assembly lines A, B and C. To do so the data of the production of each line were recorded and an ANOVA was run using it.

The study variable is:

Y: Production rate of an assembly line.

Assuming that the study variable has a normal distribution for each population, the observations are independent and the population variances are equal, you can apply a parametric ANOVA with the hypothesis:

H₀ μ₁= μ₂= μ₃

H₁: At least one of the population means is different from the others

Where:

Population 1: line A

Population 2: line B

Population 3: line C

α: 0.01

This test is always one-tailed to the right. The statistic is the Snedecor's F, constructed as the MSTr divided by the MSEr if the value of the statistic is big, this means that there is a greater variance due to the treatments than to the error, this means that the population means are different. If the value of F is small, it means that the differences between populations are not significant ( may differ due to error and not treatment).

The critical region is:

F_{k-1;n-k; 1-\alpha } = F_{2;15; 0.99} = 6.36

If F ≥ 3.36, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Looking at the given data:

F= \frac{MSTr}{MSEr}= 11.32653

With this value the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Using the p-value method:

p-value: 0.001005

α: 0.01

The p-value is less than the significance level, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

At a level of 5%, there is significant evidence to say that at least one of the population means of the production ratio of the assembly lines A, B and C is different than the others.

b) In this item, you have to stop paying attention to the production ratio of the assembly line A to compare the population means of the production ratio of lines B and C.

(I'll use the same subscripts to be congruent with part a.)

The parameter to estimate is μ₂ - μ₃

The populations are the same as before, so you can still assume that the study variables have a normal distribution and their population variances are unknown but equal. The statistic to use under these conditions, since the sample sizes are 6 for both assembly lines, is a pooled-t for two independent variables with unknown but equal population variances.

t=  (X[bar]₂ - X[bar]₃) - ( μ₂ - μ₃) ~t_{n_2+n_3-2}

Sa√(1/n₂+1/n₃)

The formula for the interval is:

(X[bar]₂ - X[bar]₃) ± t_{n_2+n_3-2; 1 - \alpha /2}* Sa\sqrt{*\frac{1}{n_2} + \frac{1}{n_3} }

Sa^{2} = \frac{(n_2-1)*S_2^2+ (n_3-1)*S_3^2}{n_2+n_3-2}

Sa^{2} = \frac{(5*0.67)+ (5*0.7)}{6+6-2}

Sa^{2} = 0.685

Sa= 0.827 ≅ 0.83

t_{n_2+n_3-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{10;0.995} = 3.169

X[bar]₂ = 43.33

X[bar]₃ = 41.5

(43.33-41.5) ± 3.169 * *0.83\sqrt{*\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} }

1.83 ± 3.169 * 0.479

[0.31; 3.35]

With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the difference of the population means of the production rate of the assemly lines B and C.

I hope it helps!

On circle OOO below, the measure of \stackrel{\LARGE{\frown}}{FJ} FJ ⌢ F, J, start superscript, \frown, end superscript is 84^\c
lianna [129]

Answer:

100°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between chords is the average of the intersected arc angles.

∠FKJ = ½ (84° + 76°)

∠FKJ = 80°

∠HKJ is supplementary to ∠FKJ.

∠HKJ = 180° − 80°

∠HKJ = 100°
