John is trying to drain a swimming pool. He has two pumps, but he can only use one at a time. He knows that the time a pump take

s to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump. His old pump is a 80 watt pump, and it can drain the pool in 5 hours. How long would the job take if he uses his new 100 watt pump?

\bf \begin{array}{llllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\
y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}
\\
&&y=\cfrac{{{ k}}}{x}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\


\bf \textit{the time a pump drains the pool varies inversely with the wattage }
\\\\\\
thus\qquad t=\cfrac{k}{w}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
t=time\\
k=\textit{constant of variation}\\
w=\textit{wattage power}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we know that with the old pump }
\begin{cases}
w=80\\
t=5
\end{cases}\implies 5=\cfrac{k}{80}
\\\\\\
5\cdot 80=k\implies 400=k\qquad thus\implies \boxed{y=\cfrac{400}{w}}

now, how long will it take with the new pump that does 100watts?

well, set w = 100, to get the "t" value

Which set of population data is the least dispersed from its mean? 2, 3, 2, 9 4, 0, 4, 0 6, 2, 2, 2 9, 3, 5, 3.
exis [7]

The set of data 6, 2, 2, 2  will have the least dispersion from its mean.

<h3 /><h3>What will be the mean?</h3>

From four sets of data, we take the mean of 6,2,2,2

\rm mean =\dfrac{ Sum \ of\ data}{Number \ of\ data}

So the mean will be

\rm mean =\dfrac{ 6+2+2+2}{4}=\dfrac{12}{4} =3

So the mean of the data (6,2,2,2) is 3 which has the least dispersion from its every data as compared to the other data

Thus the set of data 6, 2, 2, 2  will have the least dispersion from their mean.

Which of the following scenarios MUST represent two independent events?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: C) P(blue) = 70%, P(green) = 30%, P(blue and green) = 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given probabilities P(A) AND P(B) are independent, the probability that both events to occur is given by:

P(A)∩P(B)

thus from the example, independent events will be:

P(blue)=70%, P(green)=30%, P(blue and green)=21%

Because:

P(blue)∩P(green)=0.7×0.3=0.21=21%

Simple proportions.

You want a 1:5 ratio.
You have a 5:1 ratio.
So you add another 24 drops of white.
5:25 = 1:5 
or
5/x = 1/5 and cross multiply.
