With her motorboat at full speed Dawn gets to her fishing hole, which is 21 miles upstream, in 2 hours. The return trip takes 1.

5 hours. How fast could her motorboat go in still water? What is the rate of the current?

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

A straight slide in a playground design makes an isosceles triangle with the
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First, the you need ti understand that the triangle is an isosceles right angled triangle. In other words, the base and height are equal in length. The third side is the slide. This is the longest side.
  • Next, we know that the formula for calculating the area of a right angled triangle is given by:

        A = 1/2 (base × perpendicular height)

  • The perpendicular height is equal to the base. Let's say the base is <em>x</em>. It means that the height is also x, since height = base.
  • Therefore, the formula will be:

       A = 1/2 (x.x)

           =1/2 (x²)

      32 = 1/2 (x²)

     Multiplying both sides by 2 gives:

     32×2 = x²

     64  = x²

       8   = x

To find the third side, we use the Pythagoras theorem:

    C² = A² + B²

         = 8² + 8²

         = 128

   C = √128

       = 8√2

However, the answer will not be exact, so we  multiply the length of the base and height by 2. This gives x = 16 (Length of base = length of height)

Repeating the steps above gives C = √ (16)² + (16)²

                                                           = √256

This corresponds to option D.

An aptitude test has a mean score of 80 and a standard deviation of 5. The population of scores is normally distributed. What pr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

2.28% of tests has scores over 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 80, \sigma = 5

What proportion of tests has scores over 90?

This proportion is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 90. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{90 - 80}{5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772.

So 1-0.9772 = 0.0228 = 2.28% of tests has scores over 90.
