The time spent on problem 3 is $13\frac{13}{15} \text{ minutes }$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Sammy had 30 minutes to do a three problem quiz

To find: Remaining time left for problem 3

From given question,

Total time = 30 minutes

Time spent on problem 1 = $10\frac{1}{3} \text{ minutes }$

$\rightarrow 10\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 10 + 1}{3} = \frac{31}{3} \text{ minutes }$

Time spent on problem 2 = $5\frac{4}{5} \text{ minutes }$

$\rightarrow 5\frac{4}{5} = \frac{5 \times 5 + 4}{5} = \frac{29}{5} \text{ minutes }$

Therefore,

Time spent on problem 3 = total time - (time on problem 1 + time on problem 2)

$\text{ Time spent on problem 3 } = 30 - (\frac{31}{3} + \frac{29}{5})\\\\\rightarrow 30 - \frac{31 \times 5 + 29 \times 3}{3 \times 5}\\\\\rightarrow 30 - \frac{242}{15}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{30 \times 15 - 242}{15}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{208}{15} = 13\frac{13}{15}$

Thus time spent on problem 3 is $13\frac{13}{15} \text{ minutes }$

Thetime(inhours)requiredtorepairamachineis an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter λ = 1 . What is 2 (a) the

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 0.1353

b) 0.3679

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining the random variable T.

T : ''The time (in hours) required to repair a machine''

T ~ exp (λ)

T ~ exp (1)

The probability density function for the exponential distribution is

(In the equation I replaced λ = L)

$f(x)=Le^{-Lx}$

With L > 0 and x ≥ 0

In this exercise λ = 1 ⇒

$f(x)=e^{-x}$

For a)

$P(T>2)$

$P(T>2)=1-P(T\leq 2)$

$P(T>2)=1-\int\limits^2_0 {e^{-x} } \, dx$

$P(T>2)=1-(-e^{-2}+1)$

$P(T>2)=e^{-2}=0.1353$

For b)

$P(T\geq 10/T>9)$

The event (T ≥ 10 / T > 9) is equivalent to the event T ≥ 1 so they have the same probability of occur

$P(T\geq 10/T>9)=P(T\geq 1)$

$P(T\geq 1)=1-P(T$

$P(T\geq 1)=1-(-e^{-1}+1)=e^{-1}=0.3679$

How do you write in slope intercept with only the rate of change and one point. Like rate of change is -5 and the point is (3,0)

Simora [160]

Answer:

A linear equation in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Now, we know that the rate of change (the slope) is -5

Then we just replace a by -5

y = -5*x + b

Now we also know that this line passes through a point, and the point is (3, 0)

This means that the point (3, 0) is a solution for the line equation, so when x = 3, we also have y = 0.

Replacing these values in our equation we get:

0 = -5*3 + b

0 = -15 + b

15 = b

Now we know the value of b, so we can replace it in the line equation to get:

y = -5*a + 15

Which is the complete equation of the line.

92% of what number is 253?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Let, the number = x
Then, x * 92% = 253
x = 253 / 0.92 [ 92% = 0.92 ]
x = 275

In short, Your Answer would be 275

Hope this helps!

1. If x=3-√3,<br> prove that x²<br> +36<br> x²<br> = x²

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

we get $x^2=12-6\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: $x=3-\sqrt{3}$

We need to find $x^2$

Note: Since question is not clear, I am assuming that we need to find $x^2$

Solving:

$x=3-\sqrt{3} \\Taking \ square \ on \ both \ sides\\x^2=(3-\sqrt{3})^2\\$

We know that $(a-b)^2= a^2-2ab+b^2$

Using formula and simplifying

$x^2=(3)^2-2(3)(\sqrt{3})+(\sqrt{3})^2\\x^2=9-6\sqrt{3} +3\\x^2=12-6\sqrt{3} \\$

So, we get $x^2=12-6\sqrt{3}$
