The maximum speed of a boat at 30 feet length of water is 0.093 nautical miles/hour or knots.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation for the maximum speed, s is given by s²= (16/9)x
where, x is the length of the water line in feet.

It is given that, the modeled equation s²= (16/9)x is used to find the maximum speed in knots or nautical miles per hour.

The question is asked to find the maximum speed when the length of the water is 30 feet.

Therefore, to find the maximum speed in 30 feet water, the given modeled equation is used. So, substitute the 30 feet in place of x.

<u>Now, calculating the maximum speed :</u>

s² = (16/9)(30)

s² = 480 / 9

s² = 53.3

Taking square root on both sides,

s = √53.3

s = 7.3

The maximum speed of a boat at 30 feet length of water is 7.3 nautical miles/hour or knots.

What does the expression l+w+l+w represent

djverab [1.8K]

That means legthn+lgnth +width+width

that is the perimeter formula for a rectangle or the measure around a rectangle

it can be written as (l-legnth)
perimiter=2l+2w or
p=2l+2w or
p=2(l+w)

For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a) There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

b)There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution is the number of failures expected before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials.

It has the following probability density formula:

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

In which p is the probability of a success.

The mean of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p}$

The standard deviation of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.383$

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p} = \frac{1-0.383}{0.383} = 1.61$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1-0.383}{(0.383)^{2}}} = 2.05$

(a) What is the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals?

This is $f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(3) = (1-0.383)^{3}*(0.383)$

$f(3) = 0.09$

There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

At most 3 intervals?

This is $P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(0) = (1-0.383)^{0}*(0.383) = 0.383$

$f(1) = (1-0.383)^{1}*(0.383) = 0.236$

$f(2) = (1-0.383)^{2}*(0.383) = 0.146$

Previously in this exercise, we found that $f(3) = 0.09$

$P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 0.383 + 0.236 + 0.146 + 0.09 = 0.855$

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

(b) What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

This is $P(X \geq \mu+\sigma) = P(X \geq 1.61 + 2.05) = P(X \geq 3.66) = P(X \geq 4)$ .

We are working with discrete data, so 3.66 is rounded up to 4.

Either a drought lasts at least four months, or it lasts at most thee. In a), we found that the probability that it lasts at most 3 months is 0.855. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. So:

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$0.855 + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$P(X \geq 4) = 0.145$

There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation
