Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that if the river isn't moving at all the boat can move at 18 mph (most likely because it has an engine propelling it.)
We want to set up a proportion where our 21 miles downstream time is equal to our 15 miles upstream time so we can find the speed. A proportion is basically showing that two ratios are equal. Since our downstream distance and upstream distance can be done in the same amount of time, we will write it as a proportion.
We want to find the speed of the river. We will use r to represent the speed of the river. When going downstream, the boat will go faster, so it will have a higher mph. So, our speed going down is 18+r. When you are going upstream, it's the opposite, so it will be 18-r.
[tex]\frac{distance}{speed} =\frac{21}{18+r} = \frac{15}{18-r}[/tex]
So, how do we figure out what r is now? Well, one nice thing to know about proportions is that the product of the items diagonal from each other equals the product of the other items. Basically, that means that 15(18+r) is equal to 21(18-r). This is a very nice trick to solve proportions quickly. We see that we have made an equation and now we can solve it!
15(18+r)=21(18-r)
We use the distributive property to undo the parentheses.
270+15r=378-21r
We subtract 270 from both sides.
15r=108-21
We add 21 to both sides.
36r=108
We divide both sides by 36.
r=3
Therefore, the speed of the river is 3 mph.
You also could have noticed that 18mph to 21 mph is +3, and 18mph to 15 mph -3 in -3 mph, so the speed of the river is 3 mph. That would have been a quicker way to solve it XD!
Have a wonderful day!
Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean 60 and standard deviation 16. Compute the probability P(X < 80). Group of answer choices
Answer:
P(X < 80) = 0.89435.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 60, \sigma = 16[/tex]
P(X < 80)
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 80. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{80 - 60}{16}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.89435.
So
P(X < 80) = 0.89435.

16. How much money will I need to have at retirement so I can withdraw $60,000 a year for 20 years from an account earning 8% compounded annually? a. How much do you need in your account at the beginning b. How much total money will you pull out of the account? c. How much of that money is interest?
Answer:
starting balance: $636,215.95total withdrawals: $1,200,000interest withdrawn: $563,784.05Step-by-step explanation:
a) If we assume the annual withdrawals are at the beginning of the year, we can use the formula for an annuity due to compute the necessary savings.
The principal P that must be invested at rate r for n annual withdrawals of amount A is ...
P = A(1+r)(1 -(1 +r)^-n)/r
P = $60,000(1.08)(1 -1.08^-20)/0.08 = $636,215.95
__
b) 20 withdrawals of $60,000 each total ...
20×$60,000 = $1,200,000
__
c) The excess over the amount deposited is interest:
$1,200,000 -636,215.95 = $563,784.05

The Ball Corporation's beverage can manufacturing plant in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, uses a metal supplier that provides metal with a known thickness standard deviation σ = .000586 mm. Assume a random sample of 59 sheets of metal resulted in an x¯ = .2905 mm. Calculate the 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean metal thickness.
Answer:
The 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean metal thickness is between 0.2903 mm and 0.2907 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.96[/tex]
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 1.96\frac{0.000586}{\sqrt{59}} = 0.0002[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.2905 - 0.0002 = 0.2903 mm
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.2905 + 0.0002 = 0.2907 mm
The 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean metal thickness is between 0.2903 mm and 0.2907 mm

Explain in your own words why a polynomial can’t be a quadratic if a= 0?
If [tex]a = 0[/tex], then [tex]y = ax^2+bx+c[/tex] turns into [tex]y = 0x^2+bx+c[/tex]. That [tex]0x^2[/tex] term goes away because it turns into 0, and adding 0 onto anything does not change the expression.
So [tex]y = 0x^2+bx+c[/tex] turns into [tex]y = bx+c[/tex] which is a linear equation (b is the slope, c is the y intercept). It is no longer a quadratic as quadratic equations always graph out a curved parabola.
As an example, you could graph out [tex]y = 0x^2+3x+4[/tex] and note how it's the exact same as [tex]y = 3x+4[/tex], both of which are straight lines through the two points (0,4) and (1,7).
The Ericsson method is one of several methods claimed to increase the likelihood of a baby girl. In a clinical trial, results could be analyzed with a formal hypothesis test with the alternative hypothesis of pgreater than0.5,which corresponds to the claim that the method increases the likelihood of having a girl, so that the proportion of girls is greater than 0.5. If you have an interest in establishing the success of the method, which of the following P-values would you prefer: 0.999, 0.5, 0.95, 0.05, 0.01, 0.001? Why?
Answer:
0.001
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the aim is to support the null hypothesis, Ha. Where Ha: p > 0.5. Which means we are to reject null hypothesis H0. Where H0: p = 0.5.
The higher the pvalue, the higher the evidence of success. We know If the pvalue is less than level of significance, the null hypothesis H0 is rejected.
Hence the smallest possible value 0.001 is preferred as the pvalue because it corresponds to the sample evidence that most strongly supports the alternative hypothesis that the method is effective

The curvature of a plane parametric curve x = f(t), y = g(t) is $ \kappa = \dfrac{|\dot{x} \ddot{y} - \dot{y} \ddot{x}|}{[\dot{x}^2 + \dot{y}^2]^{3/2}}$ where the dots indicate derivatives with respect to t. Use the above formula to find the curvature. x = 6et cos(t), y = 6et sin(t)
Answer:
The curvature is modelled by [tex]\kappa = \frac{e^{-t}}{6\sqrt{2}}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the curvature is:
[tex]\kappa = \frac{|\dot {x}\cdot \ddot {y}-\dot{y}\cdot \ddot{x}|}{[\dot{x}^{2}+\dot{y}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2} }}[/tex]
The parametric componentes of the curve are:
[tex]x = 6\cdot e^{t} \cdot \cos t[/tex] and [tex]y = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t[/tex]
The first and second derivative associated to each component are determined by differentiation rules:
First derivative
[tex]\dot{x} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \cos t - 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t[/tex] and [tex]\dot {y} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t + 6\cdot e^{t} \cdot \cos t[/tex]
[tex]\dot x = 6\cdot e^{t} \cdot (\cos t - \sin t)[/tex] and [tex]\dot {y} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t)[/tex]
Second derivative
[tex]\ddot{x} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t-\sin t)+6\cdot e^{t} \cdot (-\sin t -\cos t)[/tex]
[tex]\ddot x = -12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t[/tex]
[tex]\ddot {y} = 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t) + 6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t - \sin t)[/tex]
[tex]\ddot{y} = 12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \cos t[/tex]
Now, each term is replaced in the the curvature equation:
[tex]\kappa = \frac{|6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t - \sin t)\cdot 12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \cos t-6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t)\cdot (-12\cdot e^{t}\cdot \sin t)|}{\left\{\left[6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\cos t - \sin t)\right]^{2}+\right[6\cdot e^{t}\cdot (\sin t + \cos t)\left]^{2}\right\}^{\frac{3}{2}}} }[/tex]
And the resulting expression is simplified by algebraic and trigonometric means:
[tex]\kappa = \frac{72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \cos^{2}t-72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \sin t\cdot \cos t + 72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \sin^{2}t+72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot \sin t \cdot \cos t}{[36\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot (\cos^{2}t -2\cdot \cos t \cdot \sin t +\sin^{2}t)+36\cdot e^{2\cdot t}\cdot (\sin^{2}t+2\cdot \cos t \cdot \sin t +\cos^{2} t)]^{\frac{3}{2} }}[/tex]
[tex]\kappa = \frac{72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}}{[72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}]^{\frac{3}{2} } }[/tex]
[tex]\kappa = [72\cdot e^{2\cdot t}]^{-\frac{1}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]\kappa = 72^{-\frac{1}{2} }\cdot e^{-t}[/tex]
[tex]\kappa = \frac{e^{-t}}{6\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
The curvature is modelled by [tex]\kappa = \frac{e^{-t}}{6\sqrt{2}}[/tex].
