Answer:

x = 800 km/h

y = 200 km/h

the rate of the plane in still air is 800 km/h

and the rate of the wind is 200 km/h

Completed question;

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4200 km in 7 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 4000 km in 4 hours. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the rate of the plane and wind respectively;

When flying against the wind, the relative speed is;

Va = x-y .......1

When flying with the wind, the relative speed is;

Vb = x+y .......2

Distance = speed × time

Speed = distance/time

v = d/t

Given;

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4200 km in 7 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 4000 km in 4 hours

When flying against wind;

distance da = 4200 km

time ta = 7 hours

Va = da/ta = 4200/7

Va = 600 km/h

Substituting equation 1

x-y = 600 .....3

When flying with wind;

distance db = 4000 km

Time tb = 4 hours

Vb = db/tb = 4000/4

Vb = 1000 km/h

Substituting equation 2;

x + y = 1000 .....4

Adding equation 3 and 4;

x-y + (x+y) = 600 + 1000

2x = 1600

x = 1600/2

x = 800 km/h

Substituting x = 800 into equation 3;

800 - y = 600

y = 800 - 600

y = 200 km/h

Therefore, the rate of the plane in still air is 800 km/h

and the rate of the wind is 200 km/h.

First you need the size of an angle QPR = B = 180° - 123°
Lenght of QP = 10cm
QR = x
QP = r
x² = r² + r² - 2r² × cosB

Here are Babe Ruth's home run totals for the New York Yankees during the years 1920 - 1934:54, 59, 35, 41, 46, 25, 47, 60, 54, 4
Irina-Kira [14]

Given data is 54, 59, 35, 41, 46, 25, 47, 60, 54, 46, 49, 46, 41, 34, 22

Arranging it in increasing order:

22 25 34 35 41 41 46 46 46 47 49 54 54 59 60

Number of data items, n=15.

Finding Median, First Quartile, and Third Quartile

Finding\;\;median\\M=\frac{n+1}{2}th\;\;term =\frac{15+1}{2}=8th\;\;term\;\; i.e. \;\;46

22 25 34 35 41 41 46 46 46 47 49 54 54 59 60

Now finding First Quartile from set: 22 25 34 35 41 41 46

Q₁ = middle term i.e. 35

Now finding Third Quartile from set: 46 47 49 54 54 59 60

Q₃ = middle term i.e. 54

So we have Q₁ = 35, M = 46, and Q₃ = 54. Lower bound is 22 and Upper bound is 60.

While drawing the given data on number line and marking First quartile, Median, Third quartile on number line. We can clearly observe that option A matches with given data points.

Hence, option A i.e. Box-plot A is the correct choice.
