The rate of the plane in still air is 870km/h and the rate of the wind 210km/h.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time.

Let Speed of airplane be x km/h and Speed of Wind be y km/h

Speed direction of wind (x+y)

Speed in opposition of wind (x-y)

Now, using speed x time= distance

7( x-y)=4620

(x-y)=4620/7

=660------------------(1)

Similarly,

8(x+y)=8640

(x+y) =8640/8=1080-----------------------(2)

Adding (1) and (2)

2x=1740

x=870 km/h

Subtracting (1) from (2)

2y=420

=>y=210 km/h

So rate of airplane =870km/h

rate of wind=210km/h

A shopkeeper sold 12 bags on the first day. The number became four times
dybincka [34]

The total number of the bags sold by the shopkeeper will be 65532.

<h3>What is number series?</h3>

The sequence formed by using the numbers is termed as the number series.So in this question from day one to day seven each day the sold items are multiplied by 4.

So the mathematical expression will be given as:

=(12\times 4^0)+(12\times 4^1)+(12\times 4^2)+(12\times 4^3)+(12\times 4^4)+(12\times 4^5)+(12\times 4^6)

=12+48+192+768+3072+12288+49152\\\\=65532

Hence the total number of the bags sold by the shopkeeper will be 65532.

An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years,  there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is \frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007.

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by q.

q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007.

So, the probability of survive, p=1-q

\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}

=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}

=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664 (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total n skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}

Here, r=n.

\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}

\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n

\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n

\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993) [ taking \log_e both sides]

\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}

\Rightarrow n=15051.45

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

Linda is training to be an assistant at the local animal shelter. To become an assistant she needs to complete 48 h of training.
aleksandrvk [35]

The equation between the number of days remaining and number of hours is given as y= -5x+50.

<h3>How to illustrate the equation?</h3>

Let y be the number of days remaining and x be the no.of hours.

From the graph the slope of the line is given by m.

m=(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m=(30 - 40)/(4 - 2)

m= -10/2 = -5.

The above slope is in between points 2 and 4. As the line has a constant rate of growth the slope is the same between any points of the line.

Therefore the equation between the no.of days remaining and no.of hours is given by

y=mx +c.

y=-5x+c

Now to find the value of c. This can be determined by substituting the x and y values at a particular instant. For x=0,y=50. Therefore by these values, we get,

50= -5(0)+c

c=50.

Therefore the relation between the number of days remaining and number of hours is given as y= -5x+50.

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 96. What is the smallest of the three numbers
lidiya [134]
The answer is 30.

First off, the numbers are consecutive even numbers. So, the difference between every consecutive number is 2 (numbers go from even to odd to even to odd...). Since the sum of their numbers is 96, I divided that by 3 to get 32. This gives me the median of the three numbers. To find the smallest number, I simply subtracted 2 from the 32.


This may help:

96/3=32

32 + 32 + 32 = 96
(32-2)+(32+0)+(32+2)=96
30+32+34=93

Rick and Betty are going to Virginia. It is an 8 hour trip. Rick gets. 50 mile head start and drives at a rate of 55 mph. Betty
maw [93]

The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Head start of Rick = 50 miles

Speed of Rick = 55 mph

Let,

x be the number of hours

y be the total miles

Distance covered by Rick in x hours = Speed * Time + Head start

y = 55x + 50

Speed of Betty = 65 mph

Total miles = Speed*Time

y=65x

The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.
