The distance between the starting point in the finishing line of the Boston marathon is 4 inches on an interactive course map if a scale factor of 1 inch equals 6.55 Miles is used to design the map calculate the actual distance between the start of the endpoints of the marathon

(a) compute the maclaurin polynomial m2(x) for f(x) = cos x. (b) use the polynomial of part (a) to estimate cos π 12. (c) use a calculator to compute the error made using the estimate from part (b) for the value of cos π 12. remember that the error is defined to be the absolute value of the difference between the true value and the estimate.

Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of a geyser. assume that the "recent" times are within the past few years, the "past" times are from around 20 years ago, and that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? recent 78 90 90 79 57 101 62 87 71 87 81 84 57 80 74 103 62 past 88 89 93 94 65 85 85 92 87 91 89 91 follow the steps of hypothesis testing, including identifying the alternative and null hypothesis, calculating the test statistic, finding the p-value, and making a conclusions about the null hypothesis and a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. use a significance level of 0.10. is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? answer choices below: a) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.01 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.10. b) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is not rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used. c) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.10 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.01. d) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used.
