A person swims 11 miles downstream in the same time they can swim 7 miles up stream. The speed of the current is 4 miles per hou

r.
These situations can be represented by the equations
Downstream: t=11/s+4 Upstream:t=7/s-4,
where t stands for time and s is the speed of the swimmer. What is the speed of the swimmer swimming in still water?

Answer:

s = 18 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

At downstream, time is; t = 11/(s+ 4)

At upstream, time is; t = 7/(s - 4)

Since they both are passed in the same time, then ;

11/(s+ 4) = 7/(s - 4)

Cross Multiply to get;

11(s - 4) = 7(s + 4)

11s - 44 = 7s + 28

11s - 7s = 44 + 28

4s = 72

s = 72/4

s = 18

If the die were to be rolled 6000 times, would we expect to obtain exactly 1000 '2's? explain your answer.
ludmilkaskok [199]
The probability of that occurring is 0%. There are 6 sides in a typical dice, which means the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6th. (1/6)^1000 will give you the probability of rolling a 2 exactly 1000 times. (1/6)^1000 equates to 0%.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics1 in the US tells us that, in 2010, the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no colleg
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

0.045*100= 4.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following notation:

p_1 represent the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no college degree

p_2 represent the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor's degree

And for this case we need to find the difference in proportions of those unemployed between these two groups, we want to find:

p_1 -p_2

From the info given we have p_1 = \frac{9.7}{100}=0.097

p_2 = \frac{5.2}{100}=0.052

And the difference:

p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

0.045*100= 4.5%
