Answer:

The car was travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance traveled = 330 miles

Time Period = 5 \frac12\ hr

we need to find the speed of the car .

Solution:

Time Period = 5 \frac12\ hr

Now we can say that;

\frac12\ hr =0.5\ hr

So Time period = 5+0.5 =5.5\ hr

Now we know that;

Distance traveled (d) is equal to Speed (r) multiplied by Time Period (t).

framing in equation form we get;

d=rt\\\\330 =r\times 5.5

Dividing both side by 5.5 we get;

\frac{330}{5.5}=\frac{5.5r}{5.5}\\\\r = 60\ mi/hr

Hence The car was travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. One card is selected from the deck.​(a)Compute the probability of randomly selecting
Aneli [31]

a. There are four 5s that can be drawn, and \binom43=4 ways of drawing any three of them. There are \binom{52}3=22,100 ways of drawing any three cards from the deck. So the probability of drawing three 5s is

\dfrac{\binom43}{\binom{52}3}=\dfrac4{22,100}=\dfrac1{5525}\approx0.00018

In case you're asked about the probability of drawing a 3 or a 5 (and NOT three 5s), then there are 8 possible cards (four each of 3 and 5) that interest you, with a probability of \frac8{52}=\frac2{13}\approx0.15 of getting drawn.

b. Similar to the second case considered in part (a), there are now 12 cards of interest with a probability \frac{12}{52}=\frac3{13}\approx0.23 of being drawn.

c. There are four 6s in the deck, and thirteen diamonds, one of which is a 6. That makes 4 + 13 - 1 = 16 cards of interest (subtract 1 because the 6 of diamonds is being double counted by the 4 and 13), hence a probability of \frac{16}{52}=\frac4{13}\approx0.31.

Note: \binom nk is the binomial coefficient,

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}={}_nC_k=C(n,k)=n\text{ choose }k

What is the value when 18 times of the difference of 15 and 12<br>divided by 6?​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

forget all this grammar,

let the number be x,

x = {18(15-12)} / 6

x = {18(3)} / 6

x= 54/6

x= 9

value is therefore 9

According to the manufacturer of the candy Skittles, 20% of the candy produced are red. If we take a random sample of 100 bags o
igomit [66]

Answer:

Probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 20% of the candy produced are red. A random sample of 100 bags of Skittles is taken.

The distribution we can use here is;

               \frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, p = 0.20 and n = 100

Let \hat p = proportion of red candies in our sample

So, P(\hat p < 0.20) = P(\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n} } } < \frac{0.20 - 0.20}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2 (1- 0.2)}{100} } } ) = P(Z < 0) = 0.5

Therefore, probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .
