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?

Answer · 1 vote

Let Va = the velocity of the airplane Let Vw = the velocity of the wind When flying with the wind: (Va+Vw)*(4 hours) = 4000 4Va + 4Vw = 4000 4Vw = 4000 - 4Va Vw = 1000 - Va When flying against the wind: (Va-Vw)*(7 hours) = 4200 km7Va - 7Vw = 4200 Substitute 1000-Va for Vw and solve for Va: 7Va - 7(1000-Va) = 4200 7Va -7000 + 7Va = 4200 14Va = 11200 Va = 800 km/hr Rate of wind: Vw = 1000 - Va = 1000 - 800 = 200 km/hour

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a class of 30 students there are 17 girls. two students are picked randomly to represent the class in the SRC. determine the
Alla [95]

Answer:

See below in bold,.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 30-17 = 13 boys in the class.

a.  Prob(First is a boy ) = 13/30 and Prob( second is a boy = 12/29).

As these 2 events are independent:

Prob( 2 boys being picked) = 13/30 * 12/29 =  26/145 or 0.179 to the nearest thousandth.

b. By a similar method to a:

Prob ( 2 girls being picked) =  17/30 * 16/29 = 136/435 = 0.313 to the nearest thousandth.

c.  Prob (First student is a boy and second is a girl) =  13/30 * 17/29 = 221/870.

Prob ( first student is a girl and second is a boy)  = 17/30 * 13/29 = 221/870

These 2 events are not independent so they are added:

Prob( one of the students is a boy)  = 2 (221/870 =  221/435 = 0.508 to the nearest thousandth.

The formula for volume always involves three dimensions.  

In this case, the volume of a cube is V=s^3, where s is the side length of the cube.

To solve for that side length, you'd need to use a cube root.

The mean life of a particular brand of light bulb is 1200 hours. if you know that at about 95% of this brand of bulbs will last
Snowcat [4.5K]

   First, lookup a standard normal table and see what the z-score is for 0.025 (one half of 100% - 95%) to allow for equal sized tails. You should find that the z-score is 1.96. That means that 95% of the time, the value should be within 1.96 standard deviations of the mean. Now let's calculate the standard deviation. 800 is 800 - 1200 = -400 to the left of the mean of 1200. 1600 is 1600 - 1200 = 400 to the right of the mean of 1200. So we are an equal distance of 400 on both sides of the mean. And we know from the z-score of 1.96, that we're 1.96 standard deviations from the mean. So a little division will give us the standard deviation. Which is: 400 / 1.96 = 204.0816327
   So the standard deviation of the light bulbs is 204</span>
