You travel 5 miles downstream in a kayak at a speed of r miles per hour. You turn around and travel 6 miles upstream at a speed

of 0.6r miles per hour. Finally, you turn around and return to your original starting point at a speed of r+1 miles per hour.

Kyle, d = rt, right? This means that t = d/r. If we call the rate of the current c, then her rate upstream is hindered by the current and is 3 - c. Downstream is 3 + c. The total time is 6 hours... 5/(3 - c) + 5/(3 + c) = 6 Once we put everything over the same denominator, we don't need it anymore. 5(3 + c) + 5(3 - c) = 6(3 - c)(3 + c) 15 + 5c + 15 - 5c = 54 - 6c2
30 = 54 - 6c26c2 = 24c2 = 4c = 2 2 mph

Ruby has a bird feeder which is visited by an average of 13 birds every 2 hours during daylight hours. What is the probability t
zalisa [80]

Answer:

62.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve it by a Poisson distribution, where:

p (x = n) = e ^ (- l) * l ^ (x) / x!

Where he would come being the number of birds that there would be in 40 minutes, we know that in 2 hours, that is 120 minutes there are 13, therefore in 40 there would be:

l = 13 * 40/120

l = 4,333

Now, we have p (x> 3) and that is equal to:

p (x> 3) = 1 - p (x <= 3)

So, we calculate the probability from 0 to 3:

 p (x = 0) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (0) / 0! = 0.01313

p (x = 1) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (1) / 1! = 0.0568

p (x = 2) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (2) / 2! = 0.12310

p (x = 3) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (3) / 3! = 0.17767

If we add each one:

0.01313 + 0.0568 + 0.12310 + 0.17767 = 0.3707

replacing:

p (x> 3) = 1 - 0.3707

p (x> 3) = 0.6293

Which means that the probability is 62.93%

I am an odd number I am less than 100 the sum of my digits is 12 I am a multiple of 15 what number am I
ivolga24 [154]

The answer is 75.


Let's look at your problem shall we:


Odd number: It should end with the numbers 1,3,5,7, and 9.

The number is less than 100: It should be from the number 1-99

Sum of digits: 12

Multiple of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90.


We can rule out 30, 60, and 90 because they are even.

1+5 = 6; 4+5=9; 7+5 = 12


You are left with 75.
