Answer:

Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v_1 be the speed and  t_1 be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let v_2 be the speed and t_2 be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.

Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,

(1). v_2 = v_1 -22

Also,

(2). v_1t_1 = 45miles

(3). v_2 t_2 = 57,

and

(4). t_1+t_2 = 2.25hr

From equations (2) and (3) we get:

t_1 = \dfrac{45}{v_1}

t_2 =\dfrac{57}{v_2}

putting these in equation (4) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_2}=2.25

and substituting for v_2 from equation (1) we get:

\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_1-22}=2.25

This equation can be rewritten as

2.25v_1^2-151.5v_1+990=0

which has solutions

v_1 = 60

v_1 = 7.33

We take the first solution v_1 =60 because it gives a positive value for v_2:

v_2 = v_1 -22

v_2 = 60 -22\\

v_2 = 38.

Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is 60mph and in the thunderstorm is 38mph.

find the probability exactly 3 successes in 6 trials of a binomial experiment in which the probability of success if 50%. round
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Hence, the probability of exactly 3 successes in 6 trials of a binomial experiment round to the nearest tenth of a percent is:

31.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting exactly k successes in n trials is given by the probability mass function:



{\displaystyle P(k;n,p)=P(X=k)={\binom {n}{k}}p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}}

Where p denotes the probability of success.

We are given that  the probability of success if 50%.

i.e. p=\dfrac{1}{2}

also form the question we have:

k=3 and n=6.

Hence the probability of exactly 3 successes in 6 trials is:


{\displaystyle P(3;6,\dfrac{1}{2})=P(X=3)={\binom {6}{3}}(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}(1-\dfrac{1}{2})^{6-3}}


{\displaystyle P(3;6,\dfrac{1}{2})=P(X=3)={\binom {6}{3}}(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}

{\displaystyle P(3;6,\dfrac{1}{2})=P(X=3)={\binom {6}{3}}(\dfrac{1}{2})^{6}

\binom {6}{3}=20

Hence,

{\displaystyle P(3;6,\dfrac{1}{2})=P(X=3)=20\times (\dfrac{1}{2})^6=\dfrac{5}{16}

In percentage the probability will be:

\dfrac{5}{16}\times 100=31.25\%=31.2\%
