Distance=rate times time
distance=460
rate-wind=rate against wind
rate+wind=rate with wind
2.5=time aginst wind
2=time with wind
so
460=(rate-wind) times 2.5
and
460=(rate+wind) times 2

solve for rate
460=(rate-wind) times 2.5
divide both sides by 2.5
184=rate-wind

460=(rate+wind) times 2
divide by 2
230=rate+wind

we have
184=rate-wind
230=rate+wind
add them

184=rate-wind
<u>230=rate+wind +
</u>414=2rate+0wind
414=2rate
divide by 2
207=rate

answer is 207 miles per hour

Anika [276]

Answer:

Larger for the sample of Canadians

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation (sampling variability) associated with the sample means and vice-versa.

The sample of Canadians is smaller, it is expected that their sampling variability is larger than the sample of Canadians based on the rule that as the sample size increases, the standard deviation of the means decreases; and as the sample size decreases, the standard deviation of the sample means increases

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

6.0520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = 5.85

Standard deviation = 0.24

Let N denote the 80th percentile.

P(X < N) = 0.8

P(Z < \dfrac{(N - 5.85)}{0.24}) = 0.8

Using the Excel formula: = NORM.INV(0.8,5.85,0.24)

The 80th percentile for the diameters of mandarin oranges:

= 6.0520 (to 4 decimal place)
