On a particular day, the wind added 4 miles per hour to Jaime's rate when she was rowing with the wind and subtracted 4 miles pe

r hour from her rate on her return trip. Jaime found that in the same amount of time she could row 54 miles with the wind, she could go only 30 miles against the wind.What is her normal rowing speed with no wind?

Nice so
remember
t=d/s
a(b+c)=ab+ac

time=distance/speed

lets say s=jamie's normal speed
speed agains wind=s-4
speed with wind=s+4

30 miles is agains wind
distance is 54 with wind


t=d/s
t=30/(s-4)
t=54/(s+4)

since they are both equal to t, set them equal to each other

30/(s-4)=54/(s+4)
multipliy both sides by (s+4)(s-4)
30(s+4)=54(s-4)
distribute
30s+120=54s-216
subtract 30s from both sides
120=24s-216
add 216 to both sides
336=24s
divide both sides by 24
14=s


answer is 14 miles per hour without wind

Thirty percent of all customers who enter a department store will make a purchase. Suppose that 6 customers enter the store and
torisob [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use binomial distribution, because we are interested in find the total number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments.

In probability, a binomial distribution is used in a Bernoulli process. That is, a sequence of experiments of n independent  trials, each asking a dichotomous question, that means it only has two answers. One answer is a success (probability: p) and the other is a failure (probability: 1-p). In this case, every customer who enters in the store is the experiment. If they make a purchase is a success event, taking into account that every purchase decision has to be independent.

P(X=x) = C(n,x)p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}

x= total number of success

n= total number of experiments

p=probability of success on an indivual trial

C(n,x) = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

a) x= 5 ------> customers that make a purchase

n= 6 ------> total customers

p=0.3

p(X=5)= C(6,5)(0.3)^{5} (1-0.3)^{6-5} \\p(X=5)=0.102

b) At least 3 customers make a purchase. x ≥ 3

P(X\geq 3)=1-P (X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)\\P(X\geq 3)=1-(C(6,0)(0.3^{0})(0.7)^{6}) - (C(6,1)(0.3^{1})(0.7)^{5}) - (C(6,2)(0.3^{2})(0.7)^{4})\\ P(X\geq 3) = 1-0.11765-0.30253-0.32414\\P(X\geq3)= 0.2557

c) At most 2 customers make a purchase. x ≤ 2

P(X\leq2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)\\P(X\leq2) = (C(6,0)(0.3^{0})(0.7)^{6}) + (C(6,1)(0.3^{1})(0.7)^{5}) + (C(6,2)(0.3^{2})(0.7)^{4})\\P(X\leq2) = 0.11765-0.30253-0.32414\\P(X\leq2)=0.7443

d)At least 1 customer makes a purchase. x ≥ 1

P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)\\P(X\geq 1)= 1-C(0,6)(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{6} \\P(X\geq 1)= 1-0.11765 = 0.8824

e)They must be kind to customers, always willing to help and give information about products clearly and honestly.

Have enough inventory and offer promotions for the purchase of more than one product

Have an agile payment system that avoids rows and delays in purchases.
