A motor boat traveling with the current went 30mi in 3 h. Against the current, it took 5 h to travel the same distance. Find the rate of the boat in calm water and the rate of the current

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of the boat is 9.4mph and the current is 15.4mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate= distance/ time

With current; rate= boat+ current= b+c

Against current; rate= boat - current = b- c

30=3(b+c)••••••••••••••eqn(1)

30=5(b-c)•••••••••••••••••eqn(2)

30=3b +3c••••••••••••••eqn(3)

30=5b-5c•••••••••••••••eqn(4)

Solve simultaneously

b=12mph

From eqn(3)

30=3b +3c

Divide both sides by 3, we have

10= b+c

If we make "b" the subject of the formula we have

b= (10-c)••••••••eqn(5)

Divide both side of eqn(4) by 5 we have

6=b-c••••••••eqn(7)

Substitute eqn(5) into 7

6= (10-c)-c

6= 10c-c^2

C^2-10c+6

C= 9.4 or 0.64

Substitute the highest value 9.4 into equation 7

6=b-9.4

b=6+9.4

b= 15.4

Speed of the boat is 9.4mph and the current is 15.4mph

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is -75. What is the smallest number

Answers

Answer:

-27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's call the smallest number: n

Then, the next two consecutive odd numbers would be:

n+2 and n+4 (this is because it's only odd numbers so we add 2)

We know the sum of these is −75 so we can write this equation and solve for n:

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = -75

n + n + 2 + n + 4 = -75

n + n + n + 2 + 4 = -75

n + n + n + 6 = -75

1n + 1n + 1n + 6 = -75

3n + 6 = -75        Subtract 6 from each side, which cancels the 6 on the left.

3n + 6 - 6 = -75 - 6

3n = -75 - 6

3n = -81       Divide each side by 3

3n/3 = -81/3

n = -81/3

n = -27

n + 2 = -27 + 2 = -25

n + 4 = -27 + 4 = -23

The 3 consecutive odd integers would be:

-27, -25, -23

Let's check our work:

-27 + -25 + -23 = -75    We are correct!

The smallest number is -27

JK = 2x+7
X= ?
The length of line segment HJ= ?

Answers

Answer:

x=-3, so now u plug it in, 3(-3)-4=?

answer: HJ is -13.

Using line segments concepts, it is found that:

The value of x is 6.The length of line segment HJ is 14.

-------------------------------

Point J is between H and K in a line segment HK, thus:

[tex]HK = HJ + JK[/tex]

-------------------------------

We are given that:

[tex]HK = 33[/tex][tex]HJ = 3x - 4[/tex][tex]JK = 2x + 7[/tex]

Thus, replacing into the equation, it is possible to solve for x.

-------------------------------

[tex]HK = HJ + JK[/tex]

[tex]33 = 3x - 4 + 2x + 7[/tex]

[tex]5x + 3 = 33[/tex]

[tex]5x = 30[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{30}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x = 6[/tex]

The value of x is 6.

-------------------------------

The length of line segment HJ is:

[tex]HJ = 3x - 4 = 3(6) - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14[/tex]

QUESTION 1 Let’s say that an investigator is interested in the effects of caring for a person with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) on physical and mental health. In particular, the researcher wants to know whether ALS caregivers suffer from clinically elevated levels of depression. They administer the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to 20 ALS caregivers. Scores on the BDI range from zero to 40. Scores at or above 25 are considered to reflect clinically significant levels of depression. The mean depression score for the 20 caregivers in the sample is 28. The standard deviation for this sample is 3.0. Do these data support the hypothesis that the mean depression score for ALS caregivers is significantly higher than the cutoff score for depression of 25? This example is not a perfect example of a "true experiment," so the independent and dependent variable are not as clearly identifiable as some other examples. In this example, what is the dependent/outcome variable? Beck Depression Inventory scores How many ALS caregivers there are in the study Whether the caregivers are taking care of someone who has ALS vs. cancer The ALS caregivers vs. the national norms for adults

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the data support the hypothesis that the mean depression score for ALS caregivers is significantly higher than the cutoff score for depression of 25

dependent/outcome variable

Generally the dependent variable is  Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores because the score are dependent on the ALS caregivers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n = 20

  The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  25[/tex]

   The sample mean is  [tex]\= x  = 28[/tex]

  The standard deviation is  [tex] s  =  3.0[/tex]

  The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o  :  \mu  =  25[/tex]

  The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a  :  \mu  >  25[/tex]

  Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z= \frac{ 28 -25 }{ \frac{3.0}{\sqrt{20 } } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z=  4.47[/tex]

 Generally the probability of  z from the z- table is

   [tex]p-value  =  P(Z >  4.47) =  0.000[/tex]

From the values obtained we see that  [tex]p-value  <  \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the data support the hypothesis that the mean depression score for ALS caregivers is significantly higher than the cutoff score for depression of 25

Generally the dependent variable is  Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores because the score are dependent on the ALS caregivers

Decimals are one of the types of numbers, which has a whole number and the fractional part separated by a decimal point.

Here, given value

0.02 = 002/100
