Follow PEMDAS.

You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.

so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.

Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z

Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z

Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z

Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z

Now you have -18= 1z

Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.

So your final answer will be -18=z

A light bulb has a lifetime X that is exponentially distributed with a mean 340 hours. Find the probability that the bulb lifeti

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

0.7026

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the lifetime of light bulb. Given $X \sim Exp(\lambda)$ where the mean is $E(X) = 340 =\frac{1}{\lambda} \implies \lambda = \frac{1}{340} = 0.00294$ .

Recall that,

$\displaystyle P(X>x) = 1 - \int_0^x e^{-\lambda x} = 1 - (1 - e^{-\lambda x} = e^{-\lambda x}$

$\displaystyle P(X>220 | X>100) = \frac{P(X>220,X>100)}{P(X>100)} = \frac{e^{-\lambda \times 220}}{e^{-\lambda \times 100}} = \frac{0.5236}{0.7452} = 0.7026$

Sally can paint a room in 9 hours while it takes Steve 3 hours to paint the same room. How long would it take them to paint the

Archy [21]

You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.

This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
