Speed of the boat in still water = 87.5 km/hr and Speed of the current = 17.5 km/hr.

<h3>What are downstream and upstream?</h3>

A boat is said to go downstream if it is moving along the direction of the stream. The net speed of the boat, in this case, is called downstream speed.

A boat is said to go upstream if it is moving in the direction opposite to the direction of the stream. The net speed of the boat, in this case, is called upstream speed.

For the given situation,

Let’s assume the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr

And the speed of the current be y km/hr.

So, the speed of the boat in downstream = (x+y) km/hr.

The speed of the boat in upstream = (x−y) km/hr

The formula to find the speed is Distance = Speed×Time

Distance traveled = 420 km

Time taken to sail in downstream = 4 hours

Time taken to sail in upstream = 6 hours

Now, according to the given situation, we have the equation 1 as,

$420=(x+y)4$

⇒ $x+y=105$ and

the equation 2 as, $420=(x-y)6$

⇒ $x-y=70$

On adding equations 1 and 2 we get, $2x=175$

⇒ $x=87.5$

On substituting the value of x in equation 1, we get

⇒ $87.5+y=105$

⇒ $y=17.5$

Hence we can conclude that the speed of the boat in still water is 87.5 km/hr and speed of the current is 17.5 km/hr.

Answer:

The speed of the ship is 87.5 km/hr and the speed of the current is 17.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

4:420 with current

6:420 against current

so we can do

420/4 and 420/6

105 and 70

2s - 0c = 105

s = 87.5 km/hour

87.5 + c = 105

c = 17.5 km/hour

The amount of soft drink in a bottle is a Normal random variable. Suppose that in 7% of the bottles containing this soft drink t

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The mean is 15.93 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.29 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

7% of the bottles containing this soft drink there are less than 15.5 ounces

This means that when X = 15.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.07. So when X = 15.5, Z = -1.475.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.475 = \frac{15.5 - \mu}{\sigma}$

$15.5 - \mu = -1.475\sigma$

$\mu = 15.5 + 1.475\sigma$

10% of them there are more than 16.3 ounces.

This means that when X = 16.3, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So when X = 16.3, Z = 1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{16.3 - \mu}{\sigma}$

$16.3 - \mu = 1.28\sigma$

$\mu = 16.3 – 1.28\sigma$

From above

$\mu = 15.5 + 1.475\sigma$

So

$15.5 + 1.475\sigma = 16.3 – 1.28\sigma$

$2.755\sigma = 0.8$

$\sigma = \frac{0.8}{2.755}$

$\sigma = 0.29$

The mean is

$\mu = 15.5 + 1.475\sigma = 15.5 + 1.475*0.29 = 15.93$

The mean is 15.93 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.29 ounces.

Solve: 2cos(x)-square root 3=0 for 0 less than x less than 2 pi

Leona [35]

Answer:

The general solution of $cos x = cos(\frac{\pi }{6})$ is

x = 2nπ± $\frac{\pi }{6}$

The general solution values

$x = - \frac{\pi }{6} and x = \frac{\pi }{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given equation is

$2cosx-\sqrt{3} =0 for 0$

$2cosx =\sqrt{3}$

Dividing '2' on both sides, we get

$cos x =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

$cos x = cos(\frac{\pi }{6})$

<em>General solution of cos θ = cos ∝ is θ = 2nπ±∝</em>

<em>Now The general solution of </em> $cos x = cos(\frac{\pi }{6})$ <em> is </em>

<em> x = 2nπ±</em> $\frac{\pi }{6}$ <em></em>

put n=0

$x = - \frac{\pi }{6} and x = \frac{\pi }{6}$

Put n=1

$x = 2\pi +\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{13\pi }{6}$

$x = 2\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{11\pi }{6}$

put n=2

$x = 4\pi +\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{25\pi }{6}$

$x = 4\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{23\pi }{6}$

And so on

But given 0 < x< 2π

The general solution values

$x = - \frac{\pi }{6} and x = \frac{\pi }{6}$
