Answer: Downhill:10mph Uphill:5mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for Dennis’s downhill speed.
Let
r=
Dennis’s downhill speed.
His uphill speed is
5
miles per hour slower.
Let
r−5=
Dennis’s uphill speed.
Enter the rates into the chart. The distance is the same in both directions,
20
miles.
Since
D=rt
, we solve for
t
and get
t=
D
r
.
We divide the distance by the rate in each row and place the expression in the time column.

The solution

is unreasonable because

and his uphill speed cannot be negative. So, Dennis's downhill speed is
10
mph and his uphill speed is
10−5=5
mph.
Check. Is
10
mph a reasonable speed for biking downhill? Yes.
Downhill:

Uphill:

Dennis’ downhill speed was
10
mph and his uphill speed was
5

Answer:
Given p = 0.07 as the probability that someone is a universal donor
In case of Geometric Distribution, Probability of getting the first success on nth trial is given by

where p is the probability of success on any one trial and (1-p) shows the probability of failure.
So the probability of the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the seventh person is

So the final probability is 0.0453
Answer:
x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:


Volume = 
find partial derivatives using product rule

i.e.
Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.
y=0 or x+y =6
x=0 or x+4y =12
Simplify to get y =2, x = 4
thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)
Of these D the II derivative test gives
D<0 only for (4,2)
Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3
Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3
It is a very low probability because forty percent is purple
