Answer:

20 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

traveling against the wind was 160mph (400/2.5)

traveling with the wind was 200mph (400/2)

going against the wind is going in the negative direction of the wind speed, and going with the wind is going in a positive direction of the wind speed, therefore the wind speed is |direction1-direction2|/2, which would be |200-160|/2 = |40|/2 = 20mph

(180mph is neutral speed with no wind, with wind affecting this neutral speed ±20mph)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Probability = 0.006033

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tries = 1000000

Required

Determine the probability of 6 different lower case letters <em>(Question continuation)</em>

<em />

There are 26 lower case letters.

The first can be any of letters 26

The second can be any of letters 26 - 1

The third can be any of letters 26 - 2

The fourth can be any of letters 26 - 3

The fifth can be any of letters 26 - 4

The sixth can be any of letters 26 - 5

Number of selection is:

Selection = 26 * (26 - 1) * (26 - 2) * (26 - 3) * (26 - 4) * (26 - 5)

Selection = 26 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 22 * 21

Selection = 165765600

The probability is:

Probability = \frac{Tries}{Selection}

Probability = \frac{1000000}{165765600}

Probability = 0.00603261472

<em></em>Probability = 0.006033<em> --- approximated</em>
