Boys : Girls : Total
  3     :   1         4

---------------------------------------------------
Difference in shares :
---------------------------------------------------
Difference in shares = 3 - 1 = 2

---------------------------------------------------
Find 1 share :
---------------------------------------------------
2 shares = 28
1 share = 28 ÷ 2 = 14

---------------------------------------------------
Find 4 shares (Total) :
---------------------------------------------------
1 share  = 14
4 shares = 14 x 4 = 56

The 10th term of an a.p is -27 and the 5th term is -12 .find the first term?​
horsena [70]

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{10} = - 27... (Given) \\\\\therefore a + 9d = - 27...... (1)\\\\a_{5} = - 12... (Given) \\\\\therefore a + 4d = - 12.......(2)\\\\

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)

a + 9d-( a + 4d )= - 27-(-12)\\\\\therefore a +9d - a-4d = - 27+12\\\\\therefore 5d = - 15\\\\\therefore d = \frac {- 15}{5}\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore d = -3}} \\\\

Substituting d = - 3 in equation (1), we find:

a + 9\times (-3)= - 27\\\\\therefore a - 27 = - 27\\\\\therefore a  = 27- 27\\\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore a  = 0}}\\\\

Hence, first term is zero.

The amount of time needed for a certain machine to process a job is a random variable with mean EXi = 10 minutes and Var(Xi)=2 m
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.98732

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 10 minutes

Variance = 2 minutes

For less than equal 40 jobs

Mean (m) = 40 * 10 = 400 minutes

Variance = 2 * 40 = 80 minutes

Standard deviation (s) = √variance = √80

Converting hours to minutes

X = 60 * 7 = 420 minutes

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (x - m) / s

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (420 - 400) / √80

Z = 20 / √80 = 20 / 8.9442 = 2.236

P(Z ≤ 2.236) = 0.98732
