Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the one way distance and t be the time out.

Time taken for back = t-1

We have plane's average speed out was 300 mph and average speed on the way back was 350 mph.

That is

           \frac{x}{300}=t\texttt{ and }\frac{x}{350}=t-1

Dividing both equations

             \frac{\frac{x}{300}}{\frac{x}{350}}=\frac{t}{t-1}\\\\350t-350=300t\\\\t=7\texttt{ hours}

Time taken for back = t-1 = 7-1 = 6 hours.

Total time taken = 7 + 6 = 13 hours

Option D is the correct answer.

In a carnival​ game, the player selects a ball one at a​ time, without​ replacement, from an urn containing twotwo purplepurple
dezoksy [38]
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}

<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning

The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15 
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4=  $3.5

2. Find its expected value

The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning 
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.

Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)= 
(-12.5  -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.

Find the missing angle measure, arc measure or solve for x. Show all<br> work!
n200080 [17]

Answer:

mYW = 151°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠XWY is an inscribed angle because it has a vertex on the circle. This means that m∠XWY is half of the arc it intercepts, which is XY. We can model the situation using an equation:

m∠XWY = mXY / 2

37° = mXY / 2

mXY = 74°

All arcs in a circle add up to 360°. Because of this, we can say:

mXY + mYW + mWX = 360°

74° + mYW + 135° = 360°

209° + mYW = 360°

mYW = 151°
