What's the question being asked here?
Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S
Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph
Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles
Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,
30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph
The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.
Answer:
There are 52 cards in a deck. The total number of outcomes possible when picking 2 cards and replacing them is 52 * 52 = 2704.
There are 4 10s and 4 aces so the total number of successful outcomes = 4 * 4 = 16.
Probability = 16 / 2704 = 1 / 169

Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
Solution to the problem
In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by
and
. And the critical value would be given by:
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
(a)
And on this case we have that
and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
(b)
We can use as an estimator for p
. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
And rounded up we have that n=385
