Answer
7.5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since adding x grams of salt will bring th percentage of the salt to 25
Hence. 10% of the 50 gram gives. 5 gram initial salt before it is added.
5+ x/ 50 * 100= 25/
5+x /50 = 0.25
5+x = 12.5
X= 12.5- 5
X= 7.5pounds
Answer:
700 lbs and 3.742
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.
a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have
expected number of pounds = 
b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal
i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14
Std deviation =
Answer:
x₁ = - 4 + √31
x₂ = - 4 - √31
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 8x = 15
x² + 8x - 15 = 0
x = [- 8 ± √8² - 4×1×(-15)]/(2×1)
x = (-8 ± 2√31)/2
x₁ = (-8 ± 2√31)/2
x₁ = - 4 + √31
x₂ = - 4 - √31
