Distance = rate times time. If you want the rate, solve this equation for it.
3.5 mi
Correct result: rate (speed) = ---------------- = 7 mph (average speed)
0.5 hr

Let's cut the chit chat, and formalities. I'm not one for greetings or unnecessary niceties.

Divide 0.5 by 10=
0.05

Check work.
0.05 x 10 = 0.5

In a hydraulic lift, a 1400 N force is applied to a 0.5 m2 piston. Calculate the minimum surface area of the large piston to lif

dexar [7]

Answer:

1.8m^2 approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P1= 1400N

A1=0.5m^2

P2=5000 N

A2=??

Let us apply the formula to calculate the Area A2

P1/A1= P2/A2

substitute

1400/0.5= 5000/A2

cross multiply

1400*A2= 5000*0.5

1400*A2= 2500

A2= 2500/1400

A2= 1.78

Hence the Area is 1.8m^2 approx

Answer:

99.05% probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each luxury car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is black, or it is not black. The probability of a luxury car being black is independent from other luxury cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.1, n = 25$

If 25 cars of that year and type are randomly selected, find the probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{25} = 0.0718$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{24} = 0.1994$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{23} = 0.2659$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{22} = 0.2265$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{21} = 0.1384$

$P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.1)^{5}.(0.9)^{20} = 0.0646$

$P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.1)^{6}.(0.9)^{19} = 0.0239$

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0718 + 0.1994 + 0.2659 + 0.2265 + 0.1384 + 0.0646 + 0.0239 = 0.9905$

99.05% probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.
