Answer:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In 3/7 hours distance traveled is 1/6

For finding distance in one hour, divide both sides by 7/3 so that 3/7 would be cancelled out:

3/7 * 7/3 hours = 1/6 * 7/3 distance

By simplifying:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

This means that in one hour 7/18 of the distance is covered between two ports.

i hope it will help you!

If you know what happened in 3/7 of a hour, you can multiply that value by 7/3 and find you what happens in a whole hour. If you prefer, you can visualize this using this proportion:

\dfrac{1}{6}\div \dfrac{3}{7}=x\div 1

Solving for x, we have

x=\dfrac{1}{6}\div\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot\dfrac{7}{3}=\dfrac{7}{18}

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer. Radhika answered al
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

10 incorrect answers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can say that 5 marks for the number of correct answers minus two marks for the number of incorrect answers is equal to 30 that is the score that Radhika got:

(5*10)-2x= 30, where x is the number of incorrect answers.

Now, you can solve for x:

50-2x=30

50-30=2x

20=2x

x=20/2

x=10

According to this, the answer is that they attempted 10 incorrect answers.

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Grace [21]
11
If you replace the x with 11, the new equation would be 10+5(11)=65. First, multiply 5 and 11, your answer would be 55, then add the ten, you would get 65. Which makes the equation true, because 65=65.
I hope this helps
