162 mph less than 2 times the speed of the private jet, find the speed of each jet.

Answer:

The speed of private jet is 216 mph.

The speed of commercial jet is 270 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of private jet be x mph.

Then the speed of commercial jet will be = 2x-162

Equation forms:

10x=8(2x-162)

Solving for x;

10x=16x-1296

=> 10x-16x=-1296

=> -6x=-1296

So, x =216

Hence, the speed of private jet is = 216 mph

The speed of commercial jet is = 2(216)-162 = 270 mph

Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)

Private jet's speed = x

Equation:

10(x) = 8(2x-162)
10x = 16x - 1296
6x = 1296
x = 216 (Private jet's speed)

Take the first equation and plug x value in;
2x-162
2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)

PLEASE HELP!!!
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

V=250.3cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

V=1/3 × π x 5.4² cm x 8.2cm

V= 1/3 x π x 5.4² cm x 8.2cm

V= 1/3 x π x 29.16 cm x 8.2cm

V=250.39cm³

V=250.3cm³

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a. f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c.  the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e.  86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let  X represent the continuous random variable with uniform distribution U (A, B) . Therefore the probability  density function can now be determined as :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{B-A}A

where A and B  are the two parameters of the uniform distribution

From the question;

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours

So; Let A = 8,5 and B = 12

Therefore; the mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life is :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{12-8.5}8.5

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

The  probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less can be calculated as:

F(x) = P(X ≤x)

F(x) = \dfrac{x-A}{B-A}

F(10) = \dfrac{10-8.5}{12-8.5}

F(10) = 0.4286

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

The battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is calculated as follows:

P(X\geq11) = \int\limits^{12}_{11} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (x)^{12}_{11}

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (12-11)

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (1)

P(X\geq11) = 0.2857

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =\int\limits^{11.5}_{9.5} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, (x)^{11.5}_{9.5}

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (11.5-9.5)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.2857* (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.5714

Hence; the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

The probability that battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

P(X \geq 9) = \int\limits^{12}_{9} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(x)^{12}_{9}

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(12-9)

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.2857*}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.8571

NOW; The Number of iPad  that should have a battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

n = 100(0.8571)

n = 85.71

n ≅ 86

Thus , 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours
