Solution:

we are given that

Virginia can complete her company’s monthly report in 5 hours less time then Carl.

Let Carl complete the work in t hrs.

Then Virginia will complete the same work in (t-5)hrs

Working together they take 6 hrs. So we can write

\frac{1}{t}+\frac{1}{(t-5)}=\frac{1}{6} \\ \\ \frac{t-5+t}{t(t-5)}   =\frac{1}{6} \\ \\ 6(2t-5)=t(t-5)\\ \\ 12t-30=t^2-5t\\ \\ t^2-17t+30=0\\ \\ t^2-15t-2t+30=0\\ \\ t(t-15)-2(t-15)=0\\ \\ (t-15)(t-2)=0\\ \\ t=2,15\\

t=2 doesn't makes sense because,t-5= 2-5=-3 which is not possible.

Hence t=15

Hence Virginia will complete the work alone in t-5=15-5=10 hrs

Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest laptop battery life. However, reviews on this laptop shows many complaints about low battery life. A survey on battery life reported by customers shows that it follows a normal distribution with mean 9.5 hours and standard deviation 30 minutes.

If X is the battery life then X is N(9.5, 0.5)

(we convert into one unit for calculations purpose here hours)

a) the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours

=P(X\geq 10.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{10.1-9.5}{0.5} )\\= P(Z\geq 1.2)\\=0.1151

we get the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours is 0.1151
