Answer:

The average speed of the athlete for the entire competition is approximately 21.23 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the athlete performance in the triathlon are;

The length the athlete swims = 750 m = 0.75 km

The time the athletes spends swimming = 15 minutes = 0.25 hours

The speed with which the athlete cycles = 40 km/hr.

The time the athletes spends while cycling = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

The distance the athlete ran = 5 km

The average speed with which the athlete ran = 3 m/s = 10.8 km/hr.

The formula for average speed, s is Average speed = Total distance/(Total time)

The distance, ∑d, the athlete covered in the entire competition is given as follows;

∑d = 0.75 km + 0.5 hr. × 40 km/hr. + 5 km = 0.75 km + 20 km + 5 km = 25.75 km

The distance, ∑t, the athlete spends in the entire competition is given as follows;

∑t = 0.25 hr. + 0.5 hr. + 5 km/(10.8 km/hr.) = 0.25 hr. + 0.5 hr. + 0.463 hr. ≈ 1.213 hr.;

Therefore;

The average speed of the athlete for the entire competition, s = ∑d/∑t = 25.75 km/(1.213 hr.) ≈ 21.23 km/hr.

How many nanoseconds does it take for a computer to perform one calculation if it performs calculations per second?

igor_vitrenko [27]

I believe the correct question is:

6.7*10^7 calc/sec?

So:

1/(6.7 x 10^7) = seconds per calculation

1/(6.7 x 10^7) = 100/(6.7 x 10^9) = 14.9 x 10^-9 seconds per calculation = 14.9 ns

Which is approximately 15 ns

Answer:

15 ns

A salesperson contacts eight potential customers per day. From past experience, we know that the probability of a potential cust

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

(a) The probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day is 0.1488.

(b) The probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day is 0.1869.

(d) The expected number of sales per day is 0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of sales made by the salesperson.

The probability that a potential customer makes a purchase is 0.10.

The salesperson contacts n = 8 potential customers per day.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={8\choose x}0.10^{x}(1-0.10)^{8-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day as follows:

$P(X=2)={8\choose 2}0.10^{2}(1-0.10)^{8-2}\\=28\times 0.01\times 0.5314\\=0.1488$

Thus, the probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day is 0.1488.

(b)

Compute the probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-{8\choose 0}0.10^{0}(1-0.10)^{8-0}-{8\choose 1}0.10^{1}(1-0.10)^{8-1}\\=1-0.4305-0.3826\\=0.1869$

Thus, the probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day is 0.1869.

(c)

Compute the probability that a salesperson does not makes a sale is:

$P(X=0)={8\choose 0}0.10^{0}(1-0.10)^{8-0}\\=8\times 1\times 0.4305\\=0.4305$

The percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is,

0.4305 × 100 = 43.05%

Thus, the percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is 43.05%.

(d)

Compute the expected number of sales per day as follows:

$E(X)=np=8\times 0.10=0.80$

Thus, the expected number of sales per day is 0.80.
