Answer:

Rate of plane 735 km/hr

Rate of wind 65 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the rate of the plane in still air

Let Va represent the velocity of the airplane

Let Vw represent the velocity of the wind

When flying with the wind:

(Va+Vw)*(6 hours) = 4800

6Va + 6Vw = 4800

6Vw = 4800 - 6Va

Vw=4800/6-Va

Vw = 800 - Va

When flying against the wind:

(Va-Vw)*(6 hours) = 4020 km

6Va - 6Vw = 4020

Substitute 800-Va for Vw and solve for Va:

6Va - 6(800-Va) = 4020

6Va -4800 + 6Va = 4020

12Va = 8820

Va=8820/12

Va = 735 km/hr

Therefore the rate of the plane in still air is 735 km/hr

Calculation to determine the rate of the wind

Rate of wind:

Vw = 800 - Va

Vw= 800 -735

Vw= 65 km/hr

Therefore the rate of the wind is 65 km/hr

Zucchini weights are approximately normally distributed with mean 0.8 pound and standard deviation 0.25 pound. Which of the foll
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

0.81859

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score method

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Mean 0.8 pound

Standard deviation 0.25 pound

For x = 0.55 pound

z = 0.55 - 0.8/0.25

= -1

Probability -value from Z-Table:

P(x = 0.55) = 0.15866

For x = 1.3 pounds

Z = 1.3 = 0.8/0.25

= 2

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 1.3) = 0.97725

The probability that a randomly selected zucchini will weigh between 0.55 pound and 1.3 pounds is

P(x = 1.3) - P(x = 0.8)

0.97725 - 0.15866

0.81859.
