The answer would be 2.4 meters per second. To find this, you would divide the 50 meters by 21 seconds. It equals 2.380952, and rounds to 2.4m/s.

Answer:

2.4 meter per second

Step-by-step explanation:

A swimmer swam the 50-meter freestyle in a time of 21 seconds.

Since a swimmer swam in 21 seconds = 50 meters

To calculate his speed in 1 second we will divide the total distance by the total time.

Therefore, he swam in 1 second = $\frac{50}{21}$

= 2.380952 rounded to 2.4 meter/sec

The speed of the swimmer is 2.4 meter per second.

Let X denote the time in minutes (rounded to the nearest half minute) for a blood sample to be taken. The probability mass funct

Basile [38]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Let X denote the time in minutes (rounded to the nearest half minute) for a blood sample to be taken. The probability mass function for X is:

x 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5

f(x) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.1

determine;

a) P( X < 2.5 )

B) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 )

Answer:

a) P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.9

b) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The probability mass function for X is:

x 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5

f(x) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.1

a) P( X < 2.5 )

P( X < 2.5 ) = p[ x = 0 ] + p[ x = 0.5 ] + p[ x = 1 ] + p[ x = 1.5 ] + p[ x = 2 ]

P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.1

P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.9

b) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 )

P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = p[ x = 1 ] + p[ x = 1.5 ]

P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.3 + 0.2

P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.5

How would write 42 as an operation???

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

I don't really get your question. But, I will try my best to answer it. 42 is a whole number and you could use the number for any operation.

I hope this helps:)
