For this case we have a system of two linear equations with two igcognitas, given by:

5v + 4w = 1\\3v-6w = 2

Where v and w are the unknowable variables.

To solve, we perform the following steps:

1st step:

We multiply the first equation by 3:

15v + 12w = 3

2nd step:

We multiply the second equation by -5:

-15v + 30w = -10

3rd step:

We add the equations:

15v + 12w = 3\\-15v + 30w = -10

We have then:

42w = -7

w =-\frac{7}{42}

w =-\frac{1}{6}

Thus, the value of w is -\frac{1}{6}.

4th step:

We substitute w =-\frac{1}{6} in any of the equations:

3v-6w = 2\\3v-6 * (-\frac{1}{6}) = 2

3v + 1 = 2\\3v = 2-1\\3v = 1

v =\frac{1}{3}

So, the value of v is \frac{1}{3}

Answer:

The value of w is -\frac{1}{6}

Two pumps connected in parallel fail independently of one another on any given day. The probability that only the older pump wil
Bogdan [553]

Answer : Probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day = 0.005

Explanation:

Probability that only older pump fail = P(A) = 0.10

Probability that only newer pump fail = P(B) = 0.05

Since they are independent events ,

then the conditions will be

P(A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

             = 0.10 ×0.05

             =  0.005

Hence, the probability will fail on any given day = 0.005

To make a sports drink for the football team, Jaylen filled \dfrac9{10}
Scilla [17]

The total gallons of sports drink Jaylen made using 9/10 of a large cooler with water and 6 cups of sports drink concentrate is 3.75 gallons

<h3>Total gallons</h3>

  • Water in the large cooler = 9/10

Space remaining = 1 - 9/10

= 10-9 / 10

= 1/10

1/10 = 6 cups

  • Total gallons of sport drink = x

6 cups / total = 1/10

6 × 10 = total × 1

60 cups = total

Cups to gallons:

16 cups = 1 gallon

Total gallons of sport drink, x = 60 cups / 16

= 3.75 gallons

Complete question:

To make a sports drink for the football team, Jaylen filled 9/10 of a large cooler with water. Then, he filled the remaining space with 6 cups of sports drink concentrate. How many gallons of sports drink did Jaylen make?

An airline's public relations department claims that when luggage is lost, 88% is recovered and delivered to its owner within 24
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The hypothesis statements are: H0: p = 0.88 versus HA : p < 0.88

The p-value of the test is 0.2483 > 0.1, which means that the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0. 88

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 0.88, that is:

H_0: p = 0.88

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this proportion is less than 0.88, that is:

H_a: p < 0.88

The hypothesis statements are: H0: p = 0.88 versus HA : p < 0.88

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.88 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.88, \sigma = \sqrt{0.88*0.12}

A consumer group who surveyed a large number of air travelers found that 138 out of 160 people who lost luggage on that airline were reunited with the missing items by the next day.

This means that n = 160, X = \frac{138}{160} = 0.8625

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.8625 - 0.88}{\frac{\sqrt{0.88*0.12}}{\sqrt{160}}}

z = -0.68

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.8625, which is the p-value of z = -0.68.

Looking at the z-table, the p-value of z = -0.68 is of 0.2483.

The p-value of the test is 0.2483 > 0.1, which means that the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0.88.
