A small plane flew 808 miles in 4 hours with the wind. Then on the return trip flying against the wind it travels only 488 miles

in 4 hours. What were the wind velocity and speed of the plane?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let wind velocity=x

speed of plane=y

(x+y)*4=808

x+y=808/4=202   ...(1)

(y-x)*4=488

y-x=122 ...(2)

add (1) and (2)

2y=202+122=324

y=324/2=162

from (1)

x+162=202

x=202-162=40

wind velocity=40 m/hr

speed of plane=162 m/hr

According to a study done by a university​ student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou
VikaD [51]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

 P(X = 8) =  0.0037

b

 P(X <  5) =  0.805

c

 P(X > 6) =  0.0206

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is p = 0.267

Generally data collected from this study follows  binomial  distribution because the number of trials is  finite , there are only two outcomes, (covering  , and  not covering mouth when sneezing ) , the trial are independent

Hence for a randomly selected variable  X we have that  

   X \ \ \~ \ \ { B ( p , n )}

The probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

    P(X = x ) =  ^nC_x *  p^x *  (1 -p) ^{n-x}

Considering question a

Generally the  the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

     P(X = 8) =  ^{12} C_8 *  (0.267)^8 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-8}

Here C denotes  combination

So

     P(X = 8) =  495  *  0.000025828 * 0.28867947

    P(X = 8) =  0.0037

Considering question b

Generally the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

     P(X <  5 ) =[P(X = 0 ) + \cdots + P(X = 4)]

=>   P(X <  5 ) =[ ^{12} C_0 *  (0.267)^0 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-0} + \cdots +  ^{12} C_4 *  (0.267)^4 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-4} ]

=> P(X <  5 )  =  0.02406 +  0.10516 + 0.21067 + 0.25580 + 0.20964

=>  P(X <  5) =  0.805

Considering question c

Generally the probability that fewer than half(6) covered their mouth when​ sneezing(i.e the probability the greater than half do not cover their mouth when sneezing) is mathematically represented as

      P(X > 6) =  1 - p(X \le  6)

=>    P(X > 6) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + \cdots + P(X =6)]

=>    P(X > 6)=1 - [^{12} C_0 *  (0.267)^0 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-0}+ \cdots + ^{12} C_4 *  (0.267)^6 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-6} ]

=>    P(X > 6)= 1 - [0.02406 + \cdots + 0.0519 ]  

=>    P(X > 6) =  0.0206

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

The length of a rectangle is 13 ft. And its width is 49 ft. What is its perimeter? 512 ft 427 ft 79 ft 159 ft
crimeas [40]

Answer:

  = 124 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l+w)

We know the length is 13 and the width is 49

P = 2(13+49)

   =2(62)

   = 124 ft
