Answer:

Option D. 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that distance between the shore of a lake is 3 miles.

Speed of Jim is 4 mph and speed of John is 5 mph.

Let they meet after time t hours.

Therefore distance traveled by Jim in t hours = 4×t miles

and distance traveled by John in t hours = 5×t miles

Total distance they cover = 3 miles.

Now 4t + 5t = 3

9t = 3

t = 3/9 hours.

t = (3×60)/9 minutes.

t = 20 minutes.

Answer is they will meet after 20 minutes.

  • The data has a standard deviation of 0.15 (= 0.5 - 0.35 = 0.65 - 0.5)
  • The mean of the data is 0.5
  • A value of 0.7 is more than 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • A value of 0.9 is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean (0.8 is 2 standard deviations from the mean)

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The probability that the hail storm will happen on a Saturday is 0.1667.

Step-by-step explanation:

The month of June started on Friday.

Then June 2 is a Saturday.

Remaining 28 days.

Each week has 7 days.

There will be 4 full weeks for the month of June.

So there will be 4 more Saturdays.

Thus, there are a total of 5 Saturdays in the month of June.

Compute the probability that the hail storm will happen on a Saturday as follows:

P(hail-storm)=\frac{n(Saturdays)}{Total\ no.\ of\ days} =\frac{5}{30}= 0.1667

Thus, the probability that the hail storm will happen on a Saturday is 0.1667.
