Answer:

Speed_still  = 12.25 mi/h

Speed_current = 1.75 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first trip, the motorboat goes upstream

Speed_boat = Speed_still - Speed_stream

The speed is defined as

Speed = Distance / time

This means

Speed_boat  = 21 miles/ 2 h = 10.5 mi/h

Then

Speed_still - Speed_stream = 10.5 mi/h

In the second trip:

Speed_boat = Speed_still + Speed_stream

Speed_boat  = 21 miles/ 1.5 h = 14 mi/h

Speed_still + Speed_stream = 14 mi/h

Then, the ystem of equations result

Speed_still + Speed_stream = 14 mi/h

Speed_still - Speed_stream = 10.5 mi/h

If we add them together

2*Speed_still  = 24.5 mi/h

Speed_still  = 12.25 mi/h

Speed_stream  = 14 mi/h - 12.25 mi/ h = 1.75 mi/h

37% of women consider themselves fans of professional baseball. you randomly select six women and ask each if she considers hers
valina [46]

Answer:

(a) 2.22

(b) 1.3986

(c) 1.183

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of women who consider themselves fans of professional baseball.

The proportion of women who consider themselves fans of professional baseball is, <em>p</em> = 0.37.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 6 women are selected and each was asked if she considers herself a fan of professional baseball.

Each woman's reply is independent of the others.

The random variable <em>X</em> thus follows a binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 6 and <em>p</em> = 0.37.

(a)

Compute the mean of the binomial distribution as follows:

\text{Mean}=np=6\times 0.37=2.22

(b)

Compute the variance of the binomial distribution as follows:

\text{Variance}=np(1-p)=6\times 0.37\times (1-0.37)=1.3986

(c)

Compute the standard deviation of the binomial distribution as follows:

\text{Standard Deviation}=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{6\times 0.37\times (1-0.37)}=1.183
