Alright, lets get started.

The weight of first shipment = 1 ton 115 pounds

As we know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds, so

So, the weight of first shipment = 2000 + 115 = 2115 pounds

The weight of second shipment = 1723 pounds 7 ounces

The weight of third shipment = 957 pounds 11 ounces

So, adding all three weights = 2115 pounds + 1723 pounds 7 ounces + 957 pounds 11 ounces

So, all three weights = 4795 pounds 18 ounces

As we know, 16 ounces = 1 pound, so

all three weights = 4795 pound 1 pound 2 ounces

All three weights = 4796 pounds 2 ounces

4796 could be wriiten as 4000 + 796

As we know, 2000 pound = 1 ton so

All three weight = 2 tons 796 pounds 2 ounces

So, the total weight of three shipments = 2 tons 796 pounds 2 ounces   :   Answer

Voltage sags and swells. The power quality of a transformer is measured by the quality of the voltage. Two causes of poor power
zysi [14]

Answer:

a

 z-score = 1.57

b

 z-score_s = -3.36

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  103  

    The  sample mean of  sag is  \= x_1 =  353

     The sample mean of swells is  \= x_2 =  184

    The standard deviation of  sag is  s_1  =  30

     The standard deviation of swells is  s_2  =  25

     The number of swell for a randomly selected transformer is  k  =  100

      The number of sag for a randomly selected transformer is  c  =  400

Generally the z-score for the number of swells is mathematically represented as

     z-score_s = \frac{ k - \= x_2}{s_2}

=>   z-score_s = \frac{ 100- 184}{25}

=>     z-score_s = -3.36

       

Generally the z-score for the number of sags is mathematically represented as    

      z-score = \frac{ c - \= x_1}{s_1}

     z-score = \frac{ 400 - 353}{30}

     z-score = 1.57

Thomas buys 6 souvenirs for his friends and family. Each gift takes up 1/15 of his suitcase. If he has two suitcases, how much r
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<u>Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of souvenirs bought by Thomas = 6

Space that each souvenir takes of Thomas suitcase = 1/15

Number of Thomas suitcases = 2

2.  How much room is left for his own belongings in his suitcases?

Let's find out how much space the souvenirs take:

Number of souvenirs * Space that each souvenir takes

6 * 1/15 = 6/15 = 2/5 (Dividing by 3 the numerator and the denominator)

The souvenirs take 2/5 of one suitcase.

Now, we can calculate the room that is left for Thomas' belongings.

2 Suitcases - 2/5 for the souvenirs

2 - 2/5 = 10/5 - 2/5 = 8/5 = 1 3/5

<u>Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.</u>
