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

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green. The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The green die has fa
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green.

The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4.

From above, the probability of obtaining 4 in a single throw of a fair die is:

P (4  | red dice) = \dfrac{1}{6}

P (4 | green dice) = \dfrac{3}{6} =\dfrac{1}{2}

A die is selected at random and rolled four times.

As the die is selected randomly; the probability of the first die must be equal to the probability of the second die = \dfrac{1}{2}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the first dice can be calculated as:

= \begin {pmatrix}  \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right  \end {pmatrix} \times  \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6}  \end {pmatrix}  ^4

= \dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4

= \dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4

= 6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4

= (\dfrac{1}{6})^3

= \dfrac{1}{216}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the second  dice can be calculated as:

= \begin {pmatrix}  \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right  \end {pmatrix} \times  \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6}  \end {pmatrix}  ^2  \times  \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3}{6}  \end {pmatrix}  ^2

= \dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times  ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2

= 6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times  ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2

= ( \dfrac{1}{6}) \times  ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2

= \dfrac{9}{216}

∴

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both dies = P( two 1s and two 4s | first dice ) P( first dice ) + P( two 1s and two 4s | second dice ) P( second dice )

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = \dfrac{1}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{9}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = \dfrac{1}{432}  + \dfrac{1}{48}

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = \dfrac{5}{216}

By applying  Bayes Theorem; the probability that the die was green can be calculated as:

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = The probability of two 1's and two 4's | second dice)P (second die) ÷ P(two 1's and two 4's in both die)

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{9}{216}}{\dfrac{5}{216}}

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = \dfrac{0.5 \times 0.04166666667}{0.02314814815}

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's )  = 0.9

Thus; the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9
