Answer:

Giselle worked 18 hours as blacksmith and 12 hours as carpenter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the number of hours Giselle works as carpenter and B represent the number of hours Giselle works as blacksmith.

We have been given that last week, Giselle worked both jobs for a total of 30 hours. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B+C=30...(1)

We are also told that she earns $25 per hour as a blacksmith, so so amount earned in B hours will be 25B.

As Giselle earns $20 per hour as a carpenter, so amount earned in C hours will be 20C.

Since she earned a total of $690 last week by doing both jobs, we can represent this information in an equation as:

25B+20C=690...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve our system of linear equations.

From equation (1) we will get,

C=30-B

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

25B+20(30-B)=690

25B+600-20B=690

25B+600-600-20B=690-600

25B-20B=690-600

5B=90

\frac{5B}{5}=\frac{90}

B=18

Therefore, Giselle worked 18 hours as blacksmith.

Upon substituting B=18 in equation (1) we will get,

18+C=30

18-18+C=30-18

C=12

Therefore, Giselle worked 12 hours as carpenter.

Twenty five heat lamps are connected in a greenhouse so, that when one lamp fails, another takes over immediately (only one lamp
olga55 [171]

Answer:

P = 0.006

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 25 Lamps

each with mean lifetime of 50 hours and standard deviation (SD) of 4 hours

Find probability that the lamp will be burning at end of 1300 hours period.

As we are not given that exact lamp, it means we have to find the probability where any of the lamp burning at the end of 1300 hours, So we have

Suppose i represents lamps

P (∑i from 1 to 25 (X_i > 1300)) = 1300

= P(X^{'}> \frac{1300}{25})                  where X^{'} represents mean time of a single lamp

= P (Z> \frac{52-50}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}})                Z is the standard normal distribution which can be found by using the formula

Z = Mean Time (X^{'}) - Life time of each Lamp (50 hours)/ (SD/\sqrt{n})

Z = (52-50)/(4/\sqrt{25}) = 2.5

Now, P(Z>2.5) = 0.006 using the standard normal distribution table

Probability that a lamp will be burning at the end of 1300 hours period is 0.006

Endpoint: (9,-10), midpoint: (4,8)
Alika [10]

Answer:

( -1 , 26)

Step-by-step explanation:

So since you need to find the other endpoint, you would follow these steps:

1.) 4 = \frac{9 + x}{2\\}

2.) 8 = 9 + x  ( you just multiplied the 2 to the 4 to get 8)

3.) -1 = x  (just solve it like a regular equation, so just subtract 9 on both sides                  to get rid of it and that leaves you with -1 = x)

You took the x values of both points and put them in the equation.

And its the same for y

1.) 8 = \frac{-10 + y}{2}

2.) 16 = -10 + y

3.) 26 = y   (you added the 10 on both sides because the 10 was negative and that took the 10 out and so it left you with 26 = y)
