If a boat is going upstream at 50 MPH and it takes 1.5 hours to go 22 miles, how fast is the current?

Lets see whether the river is going against the boat or with it
speed=distance/time
22 miles per 1.5 hour
speed=22/1.5=14.66666 mile per hour

50mph>14.6666666mph
ok it slowed down, so it it going agains the current

boatspeed-currentspeed=realspeed
realspeed=14.666666mph
boatspeed=50mph
50-curretn speed=14.66666666666666
50 both sides
-currentspeed=-35.33333333333333
multiply -1
currentspeed=35.33333333333333mph

the current is 35 and 1/3mph agains the boat

The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is an intelligence test designed for children between the ages of 6 and 16.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

a) \bar X = 121.4

b) SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=2.372

c) 121.4-1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=117.51    

121.4+1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=125.29  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given: 126,111,141,96,123,115,116,113,127,114,122,116,104,126,126,132,139,111,143,121,119,107,154,125,120,135,142,132,94,103,143,115,132,107,118,105,101,135,94,153

Part a

For this case we can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And after replace we got:

\bar X = 121.4

Part b

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

For this case we assume that the population deviation is \sigma=15, we can calculate the standard error with this formula:

SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=2.372

Part c

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

121.4-1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=117.51    

121.4+1.64\frac{15}{\sqrt{40}}=125.29

Determine the coordinates ​
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Thus, the rule of a point P(x, y) reflected over the line y = -x

P(x, y) → P'(-y, -x)

we conclude that:

  • A(3, 4)  → A'(-4, -3)
  • B(3, 2)  → B'(-2, -3)
  • C(-1, 2)  → C'(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that If a point P(x, y) is reflected over the line y = -x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate tend to change places and the signs are reverses.

Thus, the rule of a point P(x, y) reflected over the line y = -x

P(x, y) → P'(-y, -x)

Thus, we conclude that:

  • A(3, 4)  → A'(-4, -3)
  • B(3, 2)  → B'(-2, -3)
  • C(-1, 2)  → C'(-2, 3)
