Answer:

S=32.5

W=97.5

Step-by-step explanation:

S=speed of plane in still air

W=speed of wind

-----------------------------------------

3(S+W)=130

6(S-W)=130

-----------------------------------------

S+W=43.33333...

S-W=21.66666...

2S=64.999...

S=32.5(simplified)

-----------------------------------------

32.5+W=130

W=97.5

There are 110 students in the 6th grade band and 120 students in the 7th grade band. Of the students, 60% of the 6th grade band

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

36 more students of grade 7 went on a trip than students of grade 6

Step-by-step explanation:

60 % of 110 students= 60/100*110= 66 students

85 % of 120 students= 85/100 * 120= 102 students

No of students of grade 7th more than 6th grade students= 102-66= 36

From a circular cylinder of diameter 10 cm and height 12 cm are conical cavity of the same base radius and of the same height is

Nataliya [291]

<h3>Volume of the remaining solid = 628 cm^2</h3>

<h3>Whole surface area = 659.4 cm^2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, Given that:-

Diameter (d) = 10 cm

So, Radius (r) = 10/2 = 5cm

Height of the cylinder = 12cm.

$volume \: of \: the \: cylinder \: = \pi {r}^{2} h$

$= > \pi \times {5}^{2} \times 12 {cm}^{3} = 300\pi {cm}^{3}$

Radius of the cone = 5 cm.

Height of the cone = 12 cm.

$slant \: height \: of \: the \: cone \: = \sqrt{ {h}^{2} + \: {r}^{2} }$

$= > \sqrt{ {5}^{2}+{12}^{2} } cm \: = 13cm$

Volume of the cone = 1/3 *πr^2h

$= > \frac{1}{3} \pi \times {5}^{2} \times 12 {cm}^{3} = 100\pi {cm}^{3}$

therefore, the volume of the remaining solid

$= 300\pi {cm}^{3} - 100\pi {cm}^{3} \\ = 200 \times 3.14 {cm}^{3} = 628 {cm}^{3}$

Curved surface of the cylinder =

$2\pi \: rh \: = 2\pi \times 5 \times 12 {cm}^{2} \\ = 120\pi {cm}^{2} .$

$curved \: surface \: of \: the \: cone \: = \pi \: rl \\ = \pi \times 5 \times 13 {cm}^{2} \\ = 65\pi {cm }^{2} \\ area \: of \: (upper)circular \: base \: \\ of \: cylinder \: = \\ = \pi \: {r}^{2} = \pi \times {5}^{2}$

therefore, The whole surface area of the remaining solid

= curved surface area of cylinder + curved surface area of cone + area of (upper) circular base of cylinder

$= 120\pi {cm}^{2} + 65\pi {cm }^{2} + 25 \pi {cm}^{2} \\ = 210 \times 3.14 {cm}^{2} = 659.4 {cm}^{2}$

A random experiment was conducted where a Person A tossed five coins and recorded the number of ""heads"". Person B rolled two d

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(10) Person B

(11) Person B

(12) $P(5\ or\ 6) = 60\%$

(13) Person B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Person A $\to$ 5 coins (records the outcome of Heads)

Person $\to$ Rolls 2 dice (recorded the larger number)

Person A

First, we list out the sample space of roll of 5 coins (It is too long, so I added it as an attachment)

Next, we list out all number of heads in each roll (sorted)

$Head = \{5,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,0\}$

$n(Head) = 32$

Person B

First, we list out the sample space of toss of 2 coins (It is too long, so I added it as an attachment)

Next, we list out the highest in each toss (sorted)

$Dice = \{2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6\}$

$n(Dice) = 30$

Question 10: Who is likely to get number 5

From person A list of outcomes, the proportion of 5 is:

$Pr(5) = \frac{n(5)}{n(Head)}$

$Pr(5) = \frac{1}{32}$

$Pr(5) = 0.03125$

From person B list of outcomes, the proportion of 5 is:

$Pr(5) = \frac{n(5)}{n(Dice)}$

$Pr(5) = \frac{8}{30}$

$Pr(5) = 0.267$

<em>From the above calculations: </em> $0.267 > 0.03125$ <em> Hence, person B is more likely to get 5</em>

Question 11: Person with Higher median

For person A

$Median = \frac{n(Head) + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{32 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{33}{2}th$

$Median = 16.5th$

This means that the median is the mean of the 16th and the 17th item

So,

$Median = \frac{3+2}{2}$

$Median = \frac{5}{2}$

$Median = 2.5$

For person B

$Median = \frac{n(Dice) + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{30 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{31}{2}th$

$Median = 15.5th$

This means that the median is the mean of the 15th and the 16th item. So,

$Median = \frac{5+5}{2}$

$Median = \frac{10}{2}$

$Median = 5$

<em>Person B has a greater median of 5</em>

Question 12: Probability that B gets 5 or 6

This is calculated as:

$P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{n(5\ or\ 6)}{n(Dice)}$

From the sample space of person B, we have:

$n(5\ or\ 6) =n(5) + n(6)$

$n(5\ or\ 6) =8+10$

$n(5\ or\ 6) = 18$

So, we have:

$P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{n(5\ or\ 6)}{n(Dice)}$

$P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{18}{30}$

$P(5\ or\ 6) = 0.60$

$P(5\ or\ 6) = 60\%$

Question 13: Person with higher probability of 3 or more

Person A

$n(3\ or\ more) = 16$

So:

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{n(3\ or\ more)}{n(Head)}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{16}{32}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 0.50$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 50\%$

Person B

$n(3\ or\ more) = 28$

So:

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{n(3\ or\ more)}{n(Dice)}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{28}{30}$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 0.933$

$P(3\ or\ more) = 93.3\%$

By comparison:

$93.3\% > 50\%$

Hence, person B has a higher probability of 3 or more
