Answer:

x = 600 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the jet stream = 100 mph

It travels 1200 miles in the same amount of time as it takes to fly 1000 miles against the jet stream.

We need to find the airplane's average rate in calm​ air. Let it is equal to x mph.

As time in same in both cases. ATQ,

\dfrac{1200}{x}=\dfrac{1000}{x-100}\\\\\dfrac{12}{x}=\dfrac{10}{x-100}\\\\12x-1200=10x\\\\12x-10x=1200\\\\2x=1200\\\\x=600

So, the airplane's average rate in calm​ air is 600 mph. Hence, this is the required solution.

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.

Limit question thing plz help me
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The limit does not exist

Step-by-step explanation

For this question you have to look at the function and see what y value does it approach as it gets closer and closer to x =2, from the left side it looks like it approaces 4 and from the left side it looks like it's approaching 1, since the limits from the left and right sides are not the same, the limit does not exist
