Answer:

The speed of slower car is 55 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of slower car = s_2 = s  mph

The speed of faster car = s_1 = ( s + 20 ) mph

The distance cover by slower car = d_2 = 165 miles

The distance cover by faster car = d_1 = 225 miles

The time taken by both cars for travelling = t hours

The speed of the cars remains constant

Now, <u>According to question</u>

∵ Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

So,<u> For slower car</u>

t = \dfrac{d_2}{s_2}

Or, t = \dfrac{165}{s}           ............1

So, For faster car

t = \dfrac{d_1}{s_1}

Or, t = \dfrac{225}{s+20}           ............2

Now, equating both the equations

I.e  \dfrac{225}{s+20} = \dfrac{165}{s}  

<u>By cross multiplying</u>

Or, 225 × s = 165 × (s + 20)

Or, 225 s = 165 s + 3300

Or, 225 s - 165 s = 3300

Or, 60 s = 3300

∴  s = \dfrac{3300}{60}

I.e s = 55 miles per hour

So , The speed of slower car = s_2 = s = 55 miles per hour

Hence , The speed of slower car is 55 miles per hour.  Answer

Probability question, which I am stuck on!
son4ous [18]

Answer:

land on 3: 36 times

land on 4: 63 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A biased dice is the opposite of a fair dice.

A fair dice has the same probability of landing any of the six numbers: 1/6

The biased dice has different probabilities for its results.

To solve this question, first we need to find the probability of landing a 3.

The sum of all probabilities need to be 1, so:

0.13 + 0.05 + p(3) + 0.21 + 0.19 + 0.3 = 1

p(3) = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12

If we roll the dice 300 times, the expected number of times the dice will land:

on 3: 300 * p(3) = 300 * 0.12 = 36 times

on 4: 300 * p(4) = 300 * 0.21 = 63 times

Write an equation for the line shown in the graph
koban [17]

Answer:

y= -x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

ok, so the basic formula is y=mx+b

m=slope and b= the intercept

the line crosses the y-axis at 10, so we know that 10=b. it is a downward going slope, so its negative. the formula for slope is rise/run, or in our case, fall/run. for every 2 it falls, it runs 2. that is -2/2, which can be simplified to -1. looking at the graph , it's hard to comprehend the question at first and it took me multiple times looking at the graph. I hope I helped some!
