Let initially number of fishes =x

He gives 2/3 of his fish to a local high school, that is he gives 2x/3 fish .

So number of fishes left = x -(2x/3) = x/3 . And he gives 2/5 of x/3 to an elementary school , that is , he gives 2x/15 fishes to the elementary school. And finally the number of fishes left =30 , that is

x-(\frac{2x}{3}+\frac{2x}{15})=30

x-\frac{12x}{15}=30

\frac{3x}{15}=30

x = 150

So initially he have 150 fishes .

Empirical rule (statistics)Help please!!!
emmasim [6.3K]

The empirical rule you're referring to is the 68-95-99.7 rule, which asserts that for a normal (bell-shaped) distribution, approximately 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Let X be the random variable denoting vehicle speeds along this highway. We want to find P(61. To use the rule, we need to rephrase this probability in terms of the mean and standard deviation.

Notice that 61=70-9=70-3\cdot3, and 79=70+9=70+3\cdot3. In other words, 61 and 79 both lie exactly 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so P(61.

A sinusoidal carrier wave has an amplitude of 5 volts, a frequency of 1MHz, and zero phase angle. Select the correct carrier wav
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wave equation is given generally as:

c(x, t) = Acos(kx - wt)

Where A = amplitude

k = wave number

w = angular frequency.

x = horizontal distance moves by the wave.

t = time

The options show to us that the wave depends only on t and not (x, t).

Hence, the wave equation becomes:

c(t) = Acos(wt)

Given that:

A = 5 V

f = 1 * 10⁶ Hz

Angular Frequency, w, is given as:

w = 2πf

w = 2 * π * 1 * 10⁶ Hz

w = 2π(1 * 10⁶)

The wave equation becomes:

c(t) = 5cos(2*π*1*10⁶)

The correct answer is b.
