The Tran family and the Green family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkl

er was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler was 40L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1900L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Answer:

Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours

Green's  family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hours for which Tran family's sprinkler used is x hours

water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler = 35L per hour

water output from  Tran family's sprinkler in x hours = 35*x L = 35x

Let the hours for which Green family's sprinkler used is y hours

water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler = 40L per hour

water output from  Green family's sprinkler in x hours = 40*y L = 40y

Given

The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours

thus

x + y = 50 -------------------equation 1

y = 50-x

total water output of 1900L

35x+40y = 1900  -------------------equation 1

using  y = 50-x in equation 2, we have

35x + 40(50-x) = 1900

35x + 2000 - 40x = 1900

=> -5x = 1900 - 2000 = -100

=> x = -100/-5 = 20

y = 50-20 = 30

Thus,

Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours

Green's  family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours

9x-22=23+4x I don't understand how to do this
anygoal [31]
9x-22=23+4x Now you subtract 4x from both sides to get the variable on one side.. 5x-22=23 Now solve as you would solve a 2 step equation. 5x=45 Divide both sides by 5 to get the variable by itself. x=9

A nationwide census is conducted and it is found that the mean number of hours of television watched per year by Americans is 35
Ber [7]

Answer:

Probability that a group of 4 Americans watch more than 400 hours of television per year is 0.3264.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a nationwide census is conducted and it is found that the mean number of hours of television watched per year by Americans is 350 with a standard deviation of 220.

A group of 4 Americans is selected.

Let \bar X = <u><em>sample mean number of hours of television watched per year</em></u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean  is given by;

                             Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 350

            \sigma = standard deviation = 220

            n = sample of Americans = 4

Now, the probability that a group of 4 Americans watch more than 400 hours of television per year is given by = P(\bar X > 400 hours)

     

     P(\bar X > 400) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{400-350}{\frac{220}{\sqrt{4} } } ) = P(Z > 0.45) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.45)

                                                        = 1 - 0.6736 = <u>0.3264</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.45 in the z table which has an area of 0.6736.

Hence, the probability that a group of 4 Americans watch more than 400 hours of television per year is 0.3264.
