Answer:

3.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Pat could do the job alone in 8 hours.

Patti could do the job alone in 7 hours

Output = Rate * time

Let the rate at which pat does the work = Rp

Let the rate at which Patti does the work = Rt

Let X be the total output

Rp * 8 = X

Rp = X/8

Rt * 7 = X

Rt = X/7

If both pat and Patti pick apples, we have

(Rp+Rt)T = X

(X/8 + X/7)T = X

[(7X + 8X)/56]T = X

[X(7+8)/56]T = X

Divide both sides by X

[(7+8)/56]T = 1

(15/56)T = 1

T = 56/15

T = 3.7 hours

Industry standards suggest that 8 percent of new vehicles require warranty service within the first year. Jones Nissan in Sumter
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the no of vehicles that require warranty service within I year out of vehicles sold (9) yesterday.

Each vehicle is independent of the other to get warranty service

Hence X is binomial with p=8% = 0.08

So P(X=x) = 9Cx (0.08)^x (1-0.08)^{9-x} ,x=0,1,2...9

a) P(X=0) = 0.472161\\b) P(x=1) = 0.3695

c) P(X=2) = 0.1285

d) Mean = Mean of binomial = np =

9(0.08) = 0.72

Var (x) = npq = 0.6624

Std dev = square root of variance = 0.8139

A random sample of 12 men age 60-65 has a mean blood pressure of 142. 3 mmHg and a standard deviation of 20.8 mmHg. Construct a
Over [174]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval = (126.93,157.67)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval =

Mean ± z × Standard deviation /√n

Mean = 142. 3 mmHg

Standard deviation = 20.8 mmHg.

n = 12

Z score for 99% confidence interval = 2.56

Confidence Interval =

142.3 ± 2.56 × 20.8/√12

142.3 ± 2.56 × 6.0044427996

142.3 ± 15.371373567

Confidence Interval

= 142.3 - 15.371373567

= 126.92862643

≈ 126.93

142.3 + 15.371373567

= 157.67137357

≈ 157.67

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval = (126.93,157.67)
