Answer:

16.28 mph ; 79.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Speed of child due east = 3mph

Speed of ship due North = 16mph

Relative speed of th child is obtained by using Pythagoras rule to find the hypotenus

Relative Speed = Sqrt(3² + 16²)

Relative Speed = sqrt(9 + 256)

= sqrt(265)

= 16.2788 mph

= 16.28 mph

From trigonometry ;

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = (16 / 3)

Tanθ = 5.333

θ = tan^-1(5.333)

θ = 79.379°

θ = 79.38°

Reserve Problems Chapter 4 Section 5 Problem 2 A laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest lap
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest laptop battery life. However, reviews on this laptop shows many complaints about low battery life. A survey on battery life reported by customers shows that it follows a normal distribution with mean 9.5 hours and standard deviation 30 minutes.

If X is the battery life then X is N(9.5, 0.5)

(we convert into one unit for calculations purpose here hours)

a) the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours

=P(X\geq 10.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{10.1-9.5}{0.5} )\\= P(Z\geq 1.2)\\=0.1151

we get the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours is 0.1151
