Answer:

  2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

For a kayak speed of k miles per hour in still water, the speed upstream is (k-2) and the speed downstream is (k+2). Over the distances given, the times are the same, so we can write ...

  10/(k-2) = 14/(k+2)

Multiplying by (k+2)(k-2) gives ...

  10(k+2) = 14(k -2)

  10k +20 = 14k -28 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 4k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 28-10k

  12 = k

Then the time for 28 miles downstream is ...

  time = 28 / (12 +2) = 2 . . . . hours

It will take the person 2 hours to kayak 28 miles downstream.

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi
ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles  carry just one person.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

P(x \geq 47)

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)

= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.
