Answer:

  • commercial: 540 mph
  • private: 360 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance covered. The ratio of commercial to private speeds is ...

  2.4 : 1.6 = 3 : 2

If p is the speed of the private plane, then 3/2p is the speed of the commercial plane and the difference of speeds is ...

  3/2p -p = 180

  1/2p = 180 . . . collect terms

  p = 360 . . . . . . speed of the private plane

  3/2p = 540 . . . . speed of the commercial plane

The commercial jet flies 540 mph; the private plane flies 360 mph.

Zanzabum

Answer: Hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options.

A.) The probabilities of the RVs may be equal

B.) The sum of the probabilities of the RVs exceed 1

C.) This is an impossible occurrence

D.) The probabilities of the RVs must be equal

E.) None of the above

answer:

The probabilities of the RVs may be equal ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value of the  population mean and the value of probability mass function of a set of random variables are similar

For the Random Variables : 100,200,300,400

The Probability mass function of RV = ( 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 ) / 4

Hence  The probabilities of the RVs may be equal

how do I cancel this out??? this is the only thing I don't understand... have an a on my class but... never get these right...
Rus_ich [418]
You factor the expression first leaving you with \frac{3xy(z-1)}{3xy}
Then you would cancel out 3xy as because there is exactly one on each side. This, in turn, would leave you with z - 1
