Person a can walk 5 miles in an hour.
Person b can walk 3 miles in an hour.
They are 12 miles apart, and after an hour they have covered 8 miles.

8:1 = 12:x

8x = 12

x = 1.5

After an hour and a half, they will meet.

Check:
5 miles : 1 hour = 7.5 miles : 1.5 hours

3 miles : 1 hour = 4.5 miles : 1.5 hours

Together, they should have covered 12 miles.
7.5 + 4.5 = 12

It takes 1.5 hours to meet eachother.

A. How many ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be arranged in a row?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

a). The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 362880 ways

b). 40320 ways

c). 5040 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 alphabets in the word ALGORITHM

The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 9!

The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 362880 ways

if A and L must remain together (in order) as a unit, then we take it as 8 alphabets

= 8!

= 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

= 40320 ways

if the letters GOR must remain together (in order) as a unit, then we have 7 alphabets units remaining

= 7!

= 7*6*5*4*3*2*1

= 5040 ways

The total claim amount for a health insurance policy follows a distribution with density function 1 ( /1000) ( ) 1000 x fx e− =
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

the approximate probability that the insurance company will have claims exceeding the premiums collected is \mathbf{P(X>1100n) = 0.158655}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the density function of the total claim amount for the health insurance policy  is given as :

f_x(x)  = \dfrac{1}{1000}e^{\frac{-x}{1000}}, \ x> 0

Thus, the expected  total claim amount \mu =  1000

The variance of the total claim amount \sigma ^2  = 1000^2

However; the premium for the policy is set at the expected total claim amount plus 100. i.e (1000+100) = 1100

To determine the approximate probability that the insurance company will have claims exceeding the premiums collected if 100 policies are sold; we have :

P(X > 1100 n )

where n = numbers of premium sold

P (X> 1100n) = P (\dfrac{X - n \mu}{\sqrt{n \sigma ^2 }}> \dfrac{1100n - n \mu }{\sqrt{n \sigma^2}})

P(X>1100n) = P(Z> \dfrac{\sqrt{n}(1100-1000}{1000})

P(X>1100n) = P(Z> \dfrac{10*100}{1000})

P(X>1100n) = P(Z> 1) \\ \\ P(X>1100n) = 1-P ( Z \leq 1) \\ \\ P(X>1100n) =1- 0.841345

\mathbf{P(X>1100n) = 0.158655}

Therefore: the approximate probability that the insurance company will have claims exceeding the premiums collected is \mathbf{P(X>1100n) = 0.158655}
