Answer: the speed of the plane is 130 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane. If the car travels 80 mph slower than the plane, then the speed of the car would be (x - 80) mph.

Time = Distance/speed

plane can fly 520 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 200 miles. This means that the time it takes the plane to fly 520 miles is

520/x

Also, the time it takes the car to drive 200 miles is

200/(x - 80)

Since the time is the same, it means that

520/x = 200/(x - 80)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

520(x - 80) = 200 × x

520x - 41600 = 200x

520x - 200x = 41600

320x = 41600

x = 41600/320

x = 130 mph

What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 30 cm and a height of 15 cm PLEASE IM BEGGING PLEASE HELP
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

We need to find the area of the base/circle then multiply it by the height so if you know the formula area of a circle your good to go.

30^2 = 900

900 x 3.14 =2,826

Now lets multiply the base's area/circle by the height!

2,826 x 15 = 42,390 cm^3(cm cubed) is your answer.

Ms. Smith puts a variety of wrapped
marusya05 [52]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the number of students that would be expected to select a gold-wrapped candy  from the bag is given by:

  • B. 5 students

The candies are chosen with replacement, which means that for each student, the probability of choosing a gold wrapped candy is independent of any other student, hence the binomial distribution is used.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution?</h3>
  • The <em>binomial distribution</em> is the <u>probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial</u>.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem:

  • There are 15 students, hence n = 15.
  • Of a totlal of 5 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 12 candies, 4 are gold wrapped, hence p = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Then, the <em>expected value</em> is:

E(X) = np = 15\times \frac{1}{3} = 5

Hence, option B is correct.
