Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

5 gallons in 20 seconds

x gallons in 1 second

______________________

x = (5*1)/20

x = 5/20

x = 1/4

x = 0,25

The answer is 0,25 gallons per second.

Hope this helps!

Brainers, please help me please

Answer:

W = 12

L = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

L = L

W = 1/2 L + 4

Perimeter = 56

Formula

2L + 2W = Perimeter

Solution

Sustitute

2L + 2(1/2L + 4) = 56

2L + L + 8 = 56

3L + 8 = 56

3L + 8 - 8 = 56 - 8

3L = 48

3L/3 = 48/3

L = 16

W = 1/2 L + 4

W = 8 + 4

W = 12

Check

2L + 2W = 56

2*16 + 2*12 = 56

32 + 24 = 56

56 = 56 and it checks.

The examples and solutions to the functions are illustrated below based on the information given.

<h3>How to illustrate the functions?</h3>

1st example: The cost of a bag of rice is $100 and subsequent bags cost $95. Illustrate. the function to calculate the cost for p bags of rice.

The function will be:

C = 100 + (95 × p)

C = 100 + 95p

<u>2nd example:</u><u> </u>The cost of a pen is $5. Find the cost of s pens.

The function will be:

C = 5 × p

C = 5p

<u>3rd example</u>: Calculate the total amount for m tickets if each ticket is $20.

The function will be;

C = 20 × m

C = 20m

<u>4th example:</u> Bon bought g mangoes at $2 each and d oranges at $3.40 each. Calculate the total cost.

C = (2 × g) + (3.40 × d)

C = 2g + 3.4d

<u>5</u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u> </u><u>example</u><u>:</u><u> </u>The average age of k number of boys is 7. Find their total age.

The function will be:

a = (7 × k)

a = 7k

If electricity power failures occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures every twenty weeks, calcul

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

3 failures every twenty weeks

This means that for 1 week, $\mu = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

Calculate the probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Probability of at most one failure, so:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Then

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.8607$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1291$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.8607 + 0.1291 = 0.9898$

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.
