Answer:

3.9 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the boy is rowing perpendicular to the current, the two vectors form a right triangle.

AB represents the downstream current, BC is the speed across the river, and AC is the ground speed of the boat

AC^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.1^2 =5.76 + 9.61 = 15.37

AC = sqrt(15.37) = 3.9 mi/h

The boat's speed over the ground is 3.9 mi/h.

PLS HELP ASAP Given the following probabilities, for what P(B) are events A and B independent? P(A)=23 P(A and B)=13
Paul [167]

I'm assuming you meant to say

P(A) = 2/3

P(A and B) = 1/3

If that is the case, then A and B are independent if and only if the following equation is true

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

So we multiply P(A) and P(B) to get the value of P(A and B). We don't know what P(B) is, but we can use algebra to find it

-------------------------

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

P(A)*P(B) = P(A and B)

(2/3)*P(B) = 1/3

P(B) = (1/3)*(3/2) .... multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3

P(B) = (1*3)/(3*2)

<h3>P(B) = 1/2  is the answer</h3>

------------------------

If P(B) = 1/2, then

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

P(A and B) = (2/3)*(1/2)

P(A and B) = (2*1)/(3*2)

P(A and B) = 1/3

Which is the given probability for both events happening. This confirms we have the correct P(B) value.
