Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
<u>Solution:</u>
- 3 miles = 45 minutes
- => 1 mile = 45/3 minutes
- => 5 miles = 45/3 x 5
- => 5 miles = 15 x 5
- => 5 miles = 75 minutes
Hence, it takes 75 minutes for Jim to walk 5 miles.
Answer:
a) 0.01111
b) 0.4679
c) 0.33747
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The number of accidents per week can be treated as a Poisson distribution.
Mean number of accidents per week = 4.5
Formula:
a) No accidents occur in one week.
b) 5 or more accidents occur in a week.
c) One accident occurs today.
The mean number of accidents per day is given by
Let t and p represent the numbers of turtles and pelicans, respectively.
... 2p + 4t = 114 . . . . . . . the number of legs is 114
... p + t = 34 . . . . . . . . . the number of animals is 34
Divide the first equation by 2 and subtract the second.
... (2p +4t)/2 - (p +t) = (114)/2 - 34
... t = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then p = 34 - t = 11
There are 11 pelicans and 23 turtles.
_____
You can get to the same answer by considering the number of legs you would have if all the animals were pelicans. That would be 34*2 = 68. The is 46 fewer legs than there actually are. Each turtle that replaces one of those 34 pelicans adds 2 legs to the total, so to add 46 legs, we must replace 46/2 = 23 pelicans with turtles. That is, there are 23 turtles and 11 pelicans.
