We have been given that the upstream speed is 5 mph and the down stream speed is 10mph.

Let the fisherman traveled a distance of x miles.

The total time of the trip is 6 hours.

Relations between speed (s), time (t) and distance (d) is s = \frac{d}{t}

Hence, t= \frac{d}{s}

Time upstream +  time downstream = 6

\frac{x}{5} +\frac{x}{10} =6

lcm = 10

\frac{2x+x}{10} =6

=> \frac{3x}{10} =6

Cross multiplying, 3x= 60

x = 20 miles .. Answer.

-2 multiplied by 3x = -6x
-2 multiplied by 7 = -14
so -6x-14=32-4x
move -6x to the other side
= -14= 32-4x+6x
simplify
=-14=32+2x
move 32 to the other side
= -14-32=2x
simplify
=-46=2x
divide
-46/2 = 2x/2
x = -23

Because gambling is a big​ business, calculating the odds of a gambler winning or losing in every game is crucial to the financi
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.1165

b) 0.0983

c) 0.000455

d) 0.787

e) 0.767

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ​bars, 4 ​lemons, 3 ​cherries, and a bell

Total = 5+4+3+1 = 13

The probability of getting a bar on a slot, P(Ba) = 5/13 = 0.385

A lemon, P(L) = 4/13 = 0.308

A cherry, P(C) = 3/13 = 0.231

A bell, P(Be) = 1/13 = 0.0769

a) Probability of getting 3 lemons = (4/13) × (4/13) × (4/13) = 256/2197 = 0.1165

b) Probability of getting no fruit symbol

On each slot, there are 4+3 = 7 fruit symbols.

Probability of getting a fruit symbol On a slot = 7/13

Probability of not getting a fruit symbol = 1 - (7/13) = 6/13 = 0.462

Probability of not getting a fruit symbol On the three slots = 0.462 × 0.462 × 0.462 = 0.0983

c) Probability of getting 3 bells, the jackpot = (1/13) × (1/13) × (1/13) = 1/2197 = 0.000455

d) Probability of not getting a bell on the 3 slots

Probability of not getting a bell on one slot = 1 - (1/13) = 12/13 = 0.923

Probability of not getting a bell on the 3 slots = (12/13) × (12/13) × (12/13) = 1728/2197 = 0.787

e) Probability of at least one bar is a sum of probabilities

Note that Probability of getting a bar = 5/13 and probability of not getting a bar = 8/13

1) Probability of getting 1 bar and other stuff on the 2 other slots (this can happen in 3 different orders) = 3 × (5/13)×(8/13)×(8/13) = 960/2197 = 0.437

2) Probability of getting 2 bars and other stuff on the remaining slot (this can also occur in 3 different orders) = 3 × (5/13)×(5/13)×(8/13) = 600/2197 = 0.273

3) Probability of getting 3 bars on the slots machine = (5/13) × (5/13) × (5/13) = 125/2197 = 0.0569

Probability of at least one bar = 0.437 + 0.273 + 0.0569 = 0.7669 = 0.767

Christine Wong has asked Dave and Mike to help her move into a new apartment on Sunday morning. She has asked them both in case
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

(a) The probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b) The probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c) The probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = Dave will show up.

<em>M</em> =  Mike will show up.

Given:

P(D^{c})=0.55\\P(M^{c})=0.45

It is provided that the events of Dave of Mike showing up are independent of each other.

(a)

Compute the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up as follows:

P(D\cap M)=P(D)\times P (M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]\times [1-P(M^{c})]\\=[1-0.55]\times[1-0.45]\\=0.2475\\\approx0.25

Thus, the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one of them will show up as follows:

P (At least one of them will show up) = 1 - P (Neither will show up)

                                                   =1-P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})\\=P(D\cup M)\\=P(D)+P(M)-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]+[1-P(M^{c})]-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-0.55]+[1-0.45]-0.25\\=0.75

Thus, the probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c)

Compute the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up as follows:

P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})=1-P(D\cup M)\\=1-P(D)-P(M)+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-P(D^{c})]-[1-P(M^{c})]+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-0.55]-[1-0.45]+0.25\\=0.25

Thus, the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

Determine the probability of a negative result for a batch of size 10 if the positivity rate
Vlad1618 [11]

The probability of a negative result for a batch will be "0.3487".

Given values are:

Positivity rate,

  • p = 10% or, 0.1

Batch size,

  • n = 10

Now,

The probability of negative result will be:

→ P (batch \ negative) = (1-p)^n

By substituting the values, we get

→                               =(1-0.1)^{10}

→                               = (0.9)^{10}

→                               = 0.3487

Thus the answer above is right.
