Answer:

87 \frac{feet}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 5280 feet in a mile, 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.

To know what the speed of the antelope will be in feet per second we will use a conversion factor.

\frac{59 miles}{1h} .\frac{5280 feet}{1 mile}= 311520 \frac{feet}{h}

We know that one hour has 60 minutes and that one minute has 60 seconds. We use a simple rule of three to know how many seconds are in an hour

1min \longrightarrow 60s\\ 60 min\longrightarrow x\\ x= \frac{(60)(60)}{1}= 3600

311520\frac{feet}{h}.\frac{1h}{3600s}= 87 \frac{feet}{s}

the speed of the antilope is 87 \frac{feet}{s}

There are 95 white pieces of paper in a hat along with 5 blue pieces of paper. What is the theoretical probability that a blind-
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event taking place.

-Given there are 95 white and 5 blue pieces, the total number of papers is 100.

-The theoretical first attempt probability is equivalent to the number of each paper divided by the total:

P(blue)= \frac{no \ of \ blue}{total}\\\\=\frac{5}{100}\\\\=0.05

Hence, the theoretical probability that a blind-folded person draws a blue piece of paper on the first attempt is 0.05 or 5%

QUESTION 1 The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards.Assume that the driving
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

P(X>300)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(X>300)= 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X ="driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour" and we know that:

X \sim Unif (a=284.7, b=310.6)

And for this case the probability density function is given by:

f(x) =\frac{1}{310.6 -284.7} =0.0386 , 284.7 \leq X \leq 310.6

And the cumulative distribution function is given by:

F(x) =\frac{x-284.7}{310.6-284.7} , 284.7 \leq X \leq 310.6

And we want to find this probability:

P(X>300)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(X>300)= 1-P(X
