<span>Equation:
distance = distance 
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)</span>

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

50(x-0.5) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using distance formula:

\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{time}

As per the statement:

A train traveling 50 mph left a station 30 minutes before a second train running at 55 mph. If 55x represents the distance the faster train travels.

Second train data:

Let time taken by second train be  x hrs

Speed = 55 mph

then;

Distance = 55x miles

First train data:

Speed = 50 mph

time = x - \frac{30}{60} = x - \frac{1}{2}

then;

\text{Distance} = 50(x-\frac{1}{2}) miles

Since, the second train travels faster than first train

We have to find the distance of the slower train.

Distance of the slower train = 50(x-0.5) miles

Therefore,  the following algebraic expressions represents the distance of the slower train is,  50(x-0.5)

40. In a statistics class of 30 students, there were 13 men and 17 women. Two of the men and three of the women received an A in
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a) 56.67% probability that the student is a woman

b) 16.67% probability that the student received an A

c) 63.33% probability that the student is a woman or received an A.

d) 83.33% probability that the student did not receive an A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

We have that:

30 students

13 men

17 women

2 men that got an A and 11 men that did not get an A.

3 women that got an A and 14 women that did not get an A.

a. Find the probability that the student is a woman.

30 students, of which 17 are women.

P = \frac{17}{30} = 0.5667

56.67% probability that the student is a woman

b. Find the probability that the student received an A.

30 students, of which 5 received an A

P = \frac{5}{30} = 0.1667

16.67% probability that the student received an A

c. Find the probability that the student is a woman or received an A.

30 students, of which 17 are women and 2 are men who received an A. So

P = \frac{19}{30} = 0.6333

63.33% probability that the student is a woman or received an A.

d. Find the probability that the student did not receive an A.

30 students, of which 25 did not receive an A.

P = \frac{25}{30} = 0.8333

83.33% probability that the student did not receive an A.
