A motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 144 km going upstream. The trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat

allsm [11]

Let x be rate of boat in still water
let y be rate of current

we use this equation to relate quantities:
distance = speed · time

we have two unknowns so we might need to create a system of equationss

upstream:

speed (in km/h) = x - y
(we get speed of boat then subtract the current's speed from it since current is going against boat direction)

time = 3 hours

distance = 144 km

downstream:

speed (in hm/h) = x + y
(we get speed of boat then add the current's spd from it since current is going against boat direction)

time = 2 hours

distance = 144 km (same distance upstream and downstream)

using distance = speed times time

for upstream
144 = 3(x-y)
144 = 3x - 3y

for downstream
144 = 2(x+y)
72 = x + y

system of eqns:
144 = 3x - 3y
72 = x + y

solve by substitution: move 72 = x + y into x = 72 - y and subst into other equation for x

144 = 3(72 - y) - 3y
144 = 216 - 3y - 3y
144 = 216 - 6y
144 - 216 = -6y
-72 = -6y
y = 12 km/h

Use x = 72 - y to find x with y = 12: x = 72 - 12 = 60 km/h

rate of boat in still water is 60 km/h
rate of the current is 12 km/h

Consider the midterm and final for a statistics class. Suppose 13% of students earned an A on the midterm. Of those students who

padilas [110]

Answer:

There is a 38.97% probability that this student earned an A on the midterm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is that we have to find the percentage of students who got an A on the final exam.

Suppose 13% students earned an A on the midterm. Of those students who earned an A on the midterm, 47% received an A on the final, and 11% of the students who earned lower than an A on the midterm received an A on the final.

This means that

Of the 13% of students who earned an A on the midterm, 47% received an A on the final. Also, of the 87% who did not earn an A on the midterm, 11% received an A on the final.

So, the percentage of students who got an A on the final exam is

$P_{A} = 0.13(0.47) + 0.87(0.11) = 0.1568$

To find the probability that this student earned an A on the final test also earned on the midterm, we divide the percentage of students who got an A on both tests by the percentage of students who got an A on the final test.

The percentage of students who got an A on both tests is:

$P_{AA} = 0.13(0.47) = 0.0611$

The probability that the student also earned an A on the midterm is

$P = \frac{P_{AA}}{P_{A}} = \frac{0.0611}{0.1568} = 0.3897$

There is a 38.97% probability that this student earned an A on the midterm.
