Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band

of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Emily has probability \dfrac{3}{5} 5 3 ​ start fraction, 3, divided by, 5, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Emily will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Umaima has probability \dfrac{1}{7} 7 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 7, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Umaima will always miss. If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the pirate shoots first, what is the probability that the pirate misses the Captain's ship, but the Captain hits?

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

Solve for x if 2(5x+2)^2=48
likoan [24]
2(5x + 2)^2 = 48
divide both sides by 2
(5x + 2)^2 = 24
square root both sides to clear the power of two.
5x + 2 = + - sqrt24
subtract 2 from both sides
5x = -2 + - sqrt 24
divide both sides by 5
x = (-2 +-sqrt24)/5 or decimal answers .58 and -1.38

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Width =22.955 in

length =28.785 in

Step-by-step explanation:

let width=x

painting is 5.83 in taller than it is wide

length =x+5.83

Perimeter of rectangle =2 (length+width)

Perimeter of painting =103.48

2(x+x+5.83)=103.48\\2x+5.83=51.74\\2x+51.74-5.83\\2x=45.91\\x=\frac{45}{2} \\x=22.955

width =x=22.955 in

length =x+5.83=22.955+5.83=28.785 n

cluponka [151]

Answer:

<h3>246.6 meters per hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Speed uphill 100meters per hour

Speed on flat ground 120 meters per hour

Speed uphill  150 meters per hour.

Required

The average speed.

Step two:

To get the average speed, let us add all the individual speeds and divide by 3(three different speeds), then multiply the result by 2(the return trip)

Average speed= (100+120+150)*2/3

Average speed= 740/3

Average speed=  246.6 meters per hour
