According to the solving the correct expression of the given data is:

S = 5T/(T - 5).

<h3>What does a math expression mean?</h3>

At least two numbers as well as variables, one or more arithmetic operations, and a statement are all required components of a mathematical expression. With the help of this mathematical operation, you can multiply, divide, add, or subtract. A sentence has the following structure: (Number or Variable, Math Operator, Number or Variable) is an expression.

<h3>How does a term come to mind?</h3>

The evaluation of each algebraic expression requires the substitution of one integer for each variable and the execution of the arithmetic operations. The variable x in the preceding example has the value of 6 since 6 plus 6 = 12. Our variables' values can be substituted for the original variables if we are aware of them, allowing us to evaluate the expression with those values instead of the original ones.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

Let S be the number of hours it would take Sharon to paint the shed alone.

Kelly alone can paint the shed in T hours,

so she can paint (1/T) of a shed per hour.

Sharon alone can paint (1/S) shed per hour, so, working together.

They can Paint:

(1/T)+(1/S)

it takes them five hours to paint the shed together, they can paint (1/5) shed per hour.

$\frac{1}{S}+\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5}$\\

$\frac{1}{S}+\frac{1}{T}-\frac{1}{T}\\\\=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{T}$

After simplifying this we get:

(T - 5)/5T

the reciprocal of both expressions:

S = 5T/(T - 5)

According to the solving the correct expression of the given data is:

S = 5T/(T - 5).

Emergency 911 calls to a small municipality in Idaho come in at the rate of one every two minutes. Assume that the number of 911
nordsb [41]

Answer: a) 30, b) 0.2138, c) 0.0820

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

X be the number of calls in 1 hour = 60 minutes

Rate of one call every two minutes.

\lambda=\dfrac{1}{2}

(a) What is the expected number of 911 calls in one hour?

\lambda=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 60=30

(b) What is the probability of three 911 calls in five minutes? If required, round your answer to four decimal places.

\lambda=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5=2.5

Number of calls = 3

So, P(X=3) is given by

P(X=3)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}\\\\P(X=3)=\dfrac{e^{-2.5}\times (2.5)^3}{3!}\\\\P(X=3)=0.2138

(c) What is the probability of no 911 calls during a five-minute period? If required, round your answer to four decimal places.

P(X=0)=\dfrac{e^{-2.5}(2.5)^0}{0!}=0.0820

Hence, a) 30, b) 0.2138, c) 0.0820
