Change in April's weight is -7
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the initial weight be "x"
April lost 5 pounds in her first week of college
First week = lost 5 pounds
Therefore, x - 5
Over the next three weeks she lost 3 pounds, gained 2 pounds, and then lost 1 pound
<em><u>Next three week:</u></em>
Lost 3 pound
Gained 2 pound
Lost 1 pound
<em><u>Therefore, weight after 4 weeks is given as:</u></em>
x - 5 - 3 + 2 - 1 = x -7
After 4 week, the weight is x - 7
<em><u>The change in April weight is given as:</u></em>
Weight after 4 week - initial weight = x - 7 - x = -7
Thus change in April's weight is -7 (Negative sign represents loss in weight )
Answer:
a) 6 17/20
b) 10 31/60
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 9 2/20 - 2 1/4 = 137/20 = 6 17/20
b) 6 17/20 + 3 2/3 = 631/60 = 10 31/60
Answer: 0.1353
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The mean of failures = 0.025 per hour.
Then for 8 hours , the mean of failures = 
per eight hours.
Let X be the number of failures.
The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_
Now, the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift :-
Hence, the the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift = 0.1353
Answer:
are those fractions or division signs
Step-by-step explanation:
.........................
X = original amount of water
x - 8(6) = 132
x - 48 = 132
x = 132 + 48
x = 180...it originally contained 180 gallons
