Divide 85 into the ratio of 2:3:5

1 answer:

4 0

The actual amount that needs to be divided = 85
The ratio in which the amount needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 85
10x = 85
x = 85/10
= 8.5
Then
The ratio in which the number 85 will be divided = 2 * 8.5:3 * 8.5:5 * 8.5
= 17:25.5:42.5
So from the above deduction we can see that the number 85 can be divided in the ratio 17:25.5:42.5

A factory that manufactures screws is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: length of each screw is less than 14 centimeters

b) Alternate Hypothesis: length of each screw is equal to or greater than 14 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

A factory that manufactures screws is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than 14 centimeters. The factory believes that the length of the screws exceeds this value and measures the length of screws. The sample mean screw length was centimeters. The population standard deviation is known to be centimeters.

1. What is the null hypothesis?

2. What is the alternative hypothesis?

Solution :

The null hypothesis is basically the problem statement that needs to be tested.

Alternate hypothesis is opposite of that of null hypothesis

a) Null Hypothesis: length of each screw is less than 14 centimeters

b) Alternate Hypothesis: length of each screw is equal to or greater than 14 centimeters

A company with n employees publishes an internal calendar, where each day lists the employees having a birthday that day. What i

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: $1-(\frac{364}{365})^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^x$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials, n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

We assume that the total number of days in a particular year are 365.

Then , the probability for each employee to have birthday on a certain day :

$p=\dfrac{1}{365}$

Given : The number of employee in the company = n

Then, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday is given by :-

$P(x\geq1)=1-P(x$

Hence, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday = $1-(\frac{364}{365})^n$

Can the polynomial equation have exactly 1 real solution, including any repeated solutions? (Use the Fundamental Theorem of Alge

Kryger [21]

yes, there are infinitety many polynomial that have exactly one real root just like your example, to determine the real root first let the real root is a, and the complex roots are b±ic the polynomial satisfy

-9x³ + 19x² + 17 = -(x - a)(x - b - ic)(x - b + ic)

9x³ - 19x² - 17 = (x - a)(x - b - ic)(x - b + ic)
