Chris' still water speed is 3mph, and the current's is 1.5mph... well, when Chris is going upstream, he's really not going at 3mph, since is not still water, the water is actually running, so, he's going " 3 - 1.5 " mph.

now, recall you d = rt, distance = rate * time

\bf \begin{cases}
d=1.2\\
r=3-1.5=1.5
\end{cases}\implies d=rt \implies 1.2=1.5t\implies \cfrac{1.2}{1.5}=t
\\\\\\
0.8=t\impliedby \textit{0.8 hours or 48 minutes}

A board game that normally costs $30 is on sale for 25 percent off. What is the sale price of the game?
Roman55 [17]
25% off translates into 0.25($30) = $7.50 off.

A faster way to determine the sales price is to subtract 0.25 from 1.00 and then mult. the regular price by the result:  sales price = 0.75($30) = $22.50 (answer)

The time to failure (in hours) of fans in a personal computer can be modeled by an exponential distribution with l=0.0003
Dvinal [7]

Answer: 0.0497870 ; 0.87754

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

λ = 0.0003

Defining a continuous distribution function :

F(x) = 1 - e^-λx = 1 - e^-0.0003x ; x ≥ 0

a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?

P(x ≥ 10000) = e^-0.0003(10000) = 0.0497870

b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

P(x ≥ 7000) = 1 - p(x ≤ 7000) = 1 - e^-0.0003(7000)

1 - 0.12245642825 = 0.87754
