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.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The sample 2 has a lowest value of SE corresponding to the least sample variability.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the value of the sample means and standard deviations are not given, as similar question is found online from which the values of data is follows

The data is as attached with the solution. From this data

Sample 1 has a mean of 34 and a SE of 5

Sample 2 has a mean of 30 and a SE of 2

Sample 3 has a mean of 26 and a SE of 3

Sample 4 has a mean of 38 and a SE of 5

As per the measure of the sample variability is linked with the value of SE or standard error. Which is lowest in the case of sample 2 .

So the sample 2 has a lowest value of SE corresponding to the least sample variability.

Whats the area and perimeter to the shape below?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Area of white square = side *side = 8 * 8 = 64 sq.mm

Area of 4 white square = 4 * 64 = 256 sq.mm

 compound shape

length = 3 cm = 30 mm

Width = 2 cm = 20 mm

Area of compound shape = length *width = 30 * 20 = 600 sq.mm

Area of the shaded part of the compound shape =

                        Area of compound shape - Area of 4 white square

= 600 - 256

= 344 sq.mm

b) Perimeter of compound shape = 2*(length + width)

     = 2*(30 +20)

      = 2* 50

      = 100 mm
