Hi,

Concept: This is work & time related problem which can be solved in their inverse proportions.

Let Lisa can do a work in x hours.

Lisa's one hour work = 1 / x

According to the problem, Justin can do the same work in 2x hours.

Justin's one hour work = 1 / (2x)

Now, we shall find both 1 hour work just by adding their 1 hour's work.

Both 1 hour's work = (1 /x) + [1 / (2x)] = 3 / (2x)

Full works time = (2x /3) hours.

Again, according to the problem,

2x / 3 = 8

or, x= 12 hours.

Hence Justin will take 2x = 24 hours to complete work as alone.

The number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of a particular mountain has a poisson distribution with a mean of 3.8. fin
atroni [7]

Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.

X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8

We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0

The Poisson probability is given by,

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}

Here we have X=0, mean =3.8

Hence probability that X=0 is given by

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-3.8} 3.8^{0}}{0!}

P(X=0) = \frac{0.02237 * 1}{1}

P(X=0) = 0.0224

The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224

What is 8 more than twice the sum of a number and 3 is the same as -6?
a_sh-v [17]
This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4

So the number you are looking for is 4

I hope this helps!
