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

How to tell if its identifying functions is <br> a function or not
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Determining whether a relation is a function on a graph is relatively easy by using the vertical line test. If a vertical line crosses the relation on the graph only once in all locations, the relation is a function. However, if a vertical line crosses the relation more than once, the relation is not a function.

PPPLEASE HELP<br><br> do the problem
Serggg [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. No: angles add to more than 180 deg.

2. Yes: each side's length is between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

3. No: not every side's length is between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

4. Yes: for example, place the 50 deg angle between the two given sides. Another side will then make the triangle.

5. Yes: for example, use 3 cm as the short leg in a 30-60-90 right triangle.

A researcher claims that the variation in the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the variation in the salari
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2

The alternative hypothesis is H_a :  \sigma_1 ^2 > \sigma^2_2

b

F_{critical} = 1.8608

c

F = 2.9085

d

    The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis

e

There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The first sample size is  n_1 = 30

 The sample variance for elementary school is  s^2_1 = 8324

 The second sample size is  n_2 = 30

  The sample variance for the secondary school is  s^2_2 = 2862

   The significance level is  \alpha = 0.05

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2

The alternative hypothesis is H_a :  \sigma_1 ^2 > \sigma^2_2

Generally from the F statistics table  the critical value of \alpha = 0.05 at first and  second degree of freedom df_1 = n_1 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29 and  df_2 = n_2 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29 is  

         F_{critical} = 1.8608

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       F = \frac{s_1^2 }{s_2^2}

=>   F = \frac{8324 }{2862}

=>   F = 2.9085

Generally from the value obtained we see that  F >  F_{critical } Hence

   The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis

    The conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim
