Gloucester Township Department of Public Works, in an effort to encourage use of its public parks during the summer months, began a campaign to encourage vacationers to use the parks. Studies for the past five years indicate that only one-fourth of all vacationers use the park for three days or more per week. A survey conducted after the new campaign was initiated reveals that 55 of 200 vacationers use the parks three or more days per week. At α = .05, does this support the campaign’s effectiveness?

I planned on putting some math to work when I visited Golden Gate Park along with my new kite. I made sure my kite was always 100ft above the ground and I was able to calculate that the kite was moving horizontally at a speed of 9ft/s. Then I proceeded to calculate the rate at which the angle between the horizontal and the string was decreasing when I had let out about 250 ft of string. Can you help me determine what that rate was?
