Provide a solution to the given problem.
This problem set deals with the problem of non-constant acceleration. Two researchers from
Fly By Night Industries conduct an experiment with a sports car on a test track. While one is
driving the car, the other will look at the speedometer and record the speed of the car at one-
second intervals. Now, these aren't official researchers and this isn't an official test track, so
the speeds are in miles per hour using an analog speedometer. The data set they create is:
{(1,5), (2, 2), (3, 30), (4, 50), (5, 65), (6,70)}
Z = 25
They notice that the acceleration is not a constant value. They decide that a fourth-degree
polynomial will be the best to describe the speed of the car as a function of time.
The task here is to determine the fourth-degree polynomial that fits this data set the best.
1. Construct the system of normal equations A¹ Ax = A¹b.

2. Solve the system of normal equations. (I don't want you doing this by hand. Use a
calculator or app.)

This problem asks you to analyze such a situation. You have the following data: A plane flying at its maximum speed can go 230 miles per hour with a tailwind or 150 miles per hour into a headwind. What is the wind speed (in miles per hour)? What would be the maximum speed of the plane (in miles per hour) if there were no wind?arrow_forward
- The SAT and ACT exams are often used to predict a student's first-term college grade point average (GPA). Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT. (b) In this context, what would be the…arrow_forwardProblem 13. A truck is 300 miles due east of a car and is traveling west at the constant speed of 30 miles per hour.

Residents along the Gulf and East coasts of the U.S. need to be on alert. As shown in the figure, the exact path of Irma remains uncertain and will depend on a variety of moving parts in the atmosphere. In the first scenario (scenario A), Irma will blast the northern Caribbean with flooding rain, damaging winds and rough surf this week, bringing life-threatening conditions to the islands. According to the forest, the probability that scenario A occurs is P(A)=0.4. A similar scenario (scenario B) could play out somewhere along the Gulf or East coasts this weekend or next week. According to the forest, the probability that scenario B occurs is P(B)=0.45. Another scenario (scenario C) still on the table is that Irma curves northward and misses the East Coast entirely. However, this scenario is the least likely to…arrow_forward
- A medical doctor who had been working in the US states of Arizona and New Mexico moved to the state of Minnesota near the border with North Dakota (see map below). He was surprised when he saw lower mortality rates of skin cancer in Minnesota/North Dakota than he saw in Arizona/New Mexico. Based on his observations that the two northern states had lower mortality rates of skin cancer than the two southern states, he developed the following hypothesis- increasing latitude (moving farther north in the northern hemisphere) causes the mortality rates of skin cancer to decrease. To test this hypothesis he determined the mortality rate of skin cancer in each of the 50 states and determined the latitude of the center of the state. Prediction: if the hypothesis is true, there should be a negative correlation between latitude and skin cancer mortality rates, as shown below. Comment on the doctor’s conclusion that his results show that increasing latitude caused skin cancer mortality…arrow_forwardA tortoise challenged a hare to a 100-meter race on a track. The tortoise negotiated a 50-meter head start with the hare. When the race started the hare was running at a constant speed of 2.8 meters per second and the tortoise was crawling at a speed of 0.5 meters per second. (They both maintained these speeds for the entire race.) Our goal is to determine who won the race. Read the above problem statement again, then explain in writing on a sheet of paper how you will determine who won the race. Construct a drawing to represent the 100-meter length of the track. Then place the tortoise and hare's starting points on the track. Define the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. Write an expression to represent the Tortoise's distance from the starting line in terms of t. Represent the Hare's distance from the starting line in terms of t.

To study this, you administer to your subjects a drink that is equivalent to three 12-ounce beers, followed by the equivalent of two cups of coffee. Then your subjects complete a simulated driving task in which they must follow a fixed speed limit while driving on a straight road. Wind periodically and randomly pushes the simulated vehicle right, left, or not at all. Speed is measured in miles per hour above or below the 60-mph speed limit, with 1 mph being the smallest unit on the scale. Suppose the first subject scores 5 mph. Determine the real limits of 5. 1)The lower real limit is: 2)The upper real limit is: When measuring weight on a scale that is accurate to the nearest 0.1 pound, what are the real limits for the weight of 120 pounds? a)119.75–120.25 b)120–121 c)119.95–120.05 When measuring weight on a scale that is accurate to the nearest…arrow_forward
