A pool is filling with water at a constant rate.after 10 minuets the height of the water level is 6 inches.after 15 minuets the

water level is now at 9 inches when will the pool be completely filled if the entire pool is 30 inches deep?

The answer would be 18 minutes.

15/9 = 30/x

cross multiply

15x=270

then divide

x=18

the tickets for a benefit concert were $6 for friday night and $8 for Saturday night. the total attendence for the two nights wa

aksik [14]

Answer:

432 people on Friday and 658 on Saturday

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use variables for each day

x=Friday and y=Saturday

now write two equations since you were given two different information (money and people)

$6 on Friday and $8 on Saturday with a total amount of $7856

the equation will be 6x+8y=7856

now the second equation will be for people

x amount of people on Friday and y amount of people on saturday for a total of 1090; the equation will be

x+y=1090

put them together

6x+8y=7856

x+y=1090

now you can cancel a variable but manipulating one of the equations. We'll use x, to cancel x you need make it zero so multiply the bottom by -6

6x+8y=7856

-6(x+y=1090)

6x+8y=7856 now subtract downwards, with the x cancelling

-6x-6y=-6540

2y=1316 simplify

(2y/2)=(1316/2)

y=658

insert y into x+y=1090

x+(658)=1090

-658 -658

x=432

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers. Find the probability that for any particular 10 containers the numb

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) $P(X = 1) = 0.38742$

b) $P(X = 3) = 0.05740$

c) $P(X = 9) = 0.00000$

d) $P(X \geq 5) = 0.00163$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is undefilled, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

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 combinatios 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

There are 10 containers, so $n = 10$ .

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers, so $p = 0.1$ .

a) This is P(X = 1)

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

b) This is P(X = 3)

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740$

c) This is P(X = 9)

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.1)^{9}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.00000$

d) This is $P(X \geq 5)$ .

Either the number is lesser than five, or it is five or larger. The sum of the probabilities of each event is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 5) + P(X \geq 5) = 1$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)$

In which

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.34868$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{8} = 0.1937$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

So

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.34868 + 0.38742 + 0.19371 + 0.05740 + 0.01116 = 0.99837$

Finally

$P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.99837 = 0.00163$
