I added a screenshot of the original question.

Now, first we will need to calculate the speed of each truck and then get the time that each of them will take to travel the 225 miles.
The basic rule that we will use for this question is:
velocity = distance / time

Part (a): getting the velocity of each truck:
For the large truck:
We are given that the truck took 4 hours to travel 180 miles. Therefore:
velocity of large truck = 180 / 4 = 45 miles/hour

For the small truck:
We are given that the truck took 3 hours to travel the same 180 miles. Therefore:
velocity of small truck = 180 / 3 = 60 miles/hour

Part (b): getting the time required for each truck to travel 225 miles:
For the large truck:
We have the distance = 225 miles and the velocity = 45 miles/hour. Therefore:
velocity = distance / time
time = distance / velocity = 225 / 45 = 5 hours

For the small truck:
We have the distance = 225 miles and the velocity = 60 miles/hour. Therefore:
velocity = distance / time
time = distance / velocity = 225 / 60 = 3.75 hours

Answer:

(a) 0.119

(b) 0.1699

Solution:

As per the question:

Mean of the emission, \mu = 11.7 million ponds/day

Standard deviation, \sigma = 2.8 million ponds/day

Now,

(a) The probability for the water pollution to be at least 15 million pounds/day:

P(X\geq 15) = P(\frac{X - /mu}{\sigma} \geq \frac{15 - 11.7}{2.8})

P(X\geq 15) = P(Z \geq 1.178)

P(X\geq 15) = 1 - P(Z < 1.178)

Using the Z score table:

P(X\geq 15) = 1 - 0.881 = 0.119

The required probability is 0.119

(b) The probability when the water pollution is in between 6.2 and 9.3 million pounds/day:

P(6.2 < X < 9.3) = P(\frac{6.2 - 11.7}{2.8} < \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} < \frac{9.3 - 11.7}{2.8})

P(6.2 < X < 9.3) = P(- 1.96 < Z < - 0.86)

P(6.2 < X < 9.3) = P(- 1.96 < Z < - 0.86)

P(Z < - 0.86) - P(Z < - 1.96)

Now, using teh Z score table:

0.1949 - 0.025 = 0.1699

Which of the following has no solution?
Softa [21]

Answer:

(x + 1 s 1) n (x + 12 1)

(x +1<1) n (x + 1 > 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just simplify each the statements.

Then compare and and see if the statements are contradictory and therefore FALSE, if so, then there is no solution.

(x + 1<-1) n (x + 1< 1)

(x <-2) n (x < 0) which is true, so there is a solution.

(x + 1 s 1) n (x + 12 1)

this doesn't make sense so there is no solution.

(x +1<1) n (x + 1 > 1)

(x < 0) n (x > 0)

This is not possible, the statements are contradictory and therefore FALSE, so there is no solution.
