A pilot flew a 400-mile flight in 2.5 hours flying into the wind. Flying the same rate and with the same wind speed, the return

trip took only 2 hours, with a tailwind.
What was the speed of the wind?

Answer:

40 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance = 400 miles

Without tailwind :

Time taken = 2.5 hours

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 400 miles / 2. 5

Speed = 160 miles per hour

With tail wind :

Time taken = 2 hours

Net speed = 160 + x

X. = speed of tail wind

Distance = speed * time

400 = (160 + x) * 2

400 = 320 + 2x

400 - 320 = 2x

80 = 2x

x = 40

Speed of tailwind = 40 miles per hour.

An experiment consists of tossing a die and then flipping a coin once if the number on the die is even. If the number on the die
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

\Omega = \{ 1HH, 1HT, 1TH, 1TT, 2H, 2T, 3HH, 3HT, 3TH, 3TT, 4H, 4T,\\5HH , 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6H, 6T \}

The probability is 3/12. The third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space is

\Omega = \{ 1HH, 1HT, 1TH, 1TT, 2H, 2T, 3HH, 3HT, 3TH, 3TT, 4H, 4T,\\5HH , 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6H, 6T \}

Note that this sample space is not equally probable.

The probability of getting a given number followed is the probability of getting an even number from the 6 numbers (3/6) multiplied by the probability of getting a head after getting that even number, that is 1/2, because is equally probable to get heads or tails from one single coin toss (note that we are assuming that the dice was even, thats why there is a single coin toss).

Therefore, the probability of getting an even number and a head is

P( D in {2,4,6} , H = 1) = P(D in {2,4,6}) * P(H=1 | D in {2,4,6}) = 3/6 * 1/2 = 3/12.

Roll a pair of dice until it lands doubles.What is the probability you will get the first doubles within three rolls? (Correct t
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Probability of rolling doubles in first three roles = 0.4124

Probability of it taking between 5 to 7 rolls = 0.1988

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by the total number of possible outcomes. This is 6 for one dice, and 6 for the other. So in total that's 6 x 6 = 36 different outcomes of the dice roll.

The number of ways we can roll a double is 6.

So the probability of rolling a double would be the number of ways to roll a double divided by the total possible outcomes.

This is : \frac{6}{36} = 0.1667

The probability of NOT rolling a double: 1 - 0.1667 = 0.8333

Since the probability of rolling a double is equal to 1 - probability of not rolling a double, we can answer the first question in the following way.

The probability of NOT rolling a double for the first THREE turns:               0.8333 x 0.8333 x 0.8333 = 0.5786

Probability of rolling a double in first THREE turns: 1 - 0.5786 = <u>0.4124</u>

The probability it will take between 5 to 7 rolls would be:

EQUATION 1: (probability of rolling no doubles in first 4 turns) x (probability of rolling a double in the next three turns)

Since we have already found the probability of rolling a double in three turns to be 0.4124, all we need to find is the probability of NOT rolling a double in the first four turns.

This is: 0.8333 * 0.8333 * 0.8333 * 0.8333 = 0.4822

Plugging this into EQUATION 1 we get: 0.4822 * 0.4124 = <u>0.1988</u>

The exterior angle of a regular polygon is 15 degrees how many sides does it have
Komok [63]
The formula to use is
n = 360/E
where 
n = number of sides
E = measure of exterior angle

In our case, E = 15 so 
n = 360/E
n = 360/15
n = 24

This regular polygon has 24 sides
