Two cars start driving from the same point. One travels north at 30 miles per hour, and the other travels east at 45 miles per hour. At what rate is the distance between the cars increasing two hours later?
(a) Draw a diagram, label quantities.
(b) Write rates as derivatives.
(c) Find an equation involving the quantities; differentiate on both sides with respect to t.
(d) Plug in known information and solve for the unknown. [As usual, numeric simplification not required.]

A transportation company is suspicious of the claim that the average useful life of certain tires is at least 28,000 miles. To verify that, 40 tires are placed in trucks and an average useful life of 27,463 is obtained with a standard deviation of 13,48 miles. Test this hypothesis with a level of significance of 1%.

A tire manufacturer has been producing tires with an average life expectancy of 26,000 miles. Now the company is advertising that its new tires' life expectancy has increased. In order to test the legitimacy of the advertising campaign, an independent testing agency tested a sample of 6 of their tires and has provided the following data. The p-value is equal to

On Myth Busters it was determined that a penny dropped from the top of the Empire State Building would reach a terminal velocity of 64.4 miles per hour before hitting the ground. What is the height of the building in feet needed for a penny with a mass of 2.5 grams to reach a velocity of 46.7 miles per hour? Assume that no energy is lost from frictional drag. For the acceleration of gravity on the Earth us 9.81 meters per second squared or 32.2 feet per second squared.

A tow truck company suspects that the lifespan of certain tires is less than the 28,000 miles they were offered. To verify if its suspicion is true, the company purchases 40 tires, places them in its trucks and measures the life of each one. The results are presented in the rate below. Presumed known standard deviation = 1300 miles
