N/d = 15
d= 4 + 3n

d=n/15
n/15=4+3n
n=60+45n
44n=-60
n=-15/11
-15/11 / d = 15
-15/11 = 15d
d=-1/11

15/11 / 1/11. = 15

To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 45 specimens are buried in soil

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The sample has not met the required specification.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the average of the sample suggests that the true average penetration of the sample could be greater than the 50 mils established, we formulate our hypothesis as follow

$H_0$ : The true average penetration is 50 mils

$H_a$ : The true average penetration is > 50 mils

Since we are trying to see if the true average is greater than 50, this is a right-tailed test.

If the level of confidence is α = 0.05 then the $z_\alpha$ score against we are comparing with, is 1.64 (this is because the area under the normal curve N(0;1) to the right of 1.64 is 0.05)

The z-score associated with this test is

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}$

where

$\bar x$ = mean of the sample

$\mu$ = average established by the specification

s = standard deviation of the sample

n = size of the sample

Computing this value of z we get z = 3.42

Since z > $z_\alpha$ we can conclude that the sample has not met the required specification.

In a lottery, 5000 tickets are sold for $1 each, one first prize of $2000, 1 second prize of $500, 3 third prizes of $100, and 1

RSB [31]

There is 1/5000 chance to win first place of $2000,
1/5000 chance to win second place of $500
3/5000 chance to win third place of $100
10/5000 chance to win the consolation prize of $25.
The ticket costs $1.
We multiply each probability by the amount, and subtract the ticket cost, to get the expected net earnings:
(1/5000)($2000) + (1/5000)($500) + (3/5000)($100) + (10/5000)($25) - $1 = $(-0.39).
This means that there is an expected loss of $0.39.

The present age of reshmas father is three times her present age after five years the sum of their age will be 70 find their pre

iren [92.7K]

Reshma's age = x

Reshma = x + 5
Reshma's father= 3x + 5

x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 70
4x + 10 = 70
4 x = 60
x = 15

So Reshma's age currently is 15 and 3(15), which is 45, is her father's age.
