The physical education instructor asked each student to do a total of 36 pull-ups and push-ups in 1 minute. The instructor wante

d students to do 8 times as many push-ups as pull-ups. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. How many pull-ups and push-ups were required in 1 minute?

Answer: Pull-ups = 4 and push up = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents number of pull ups in one minute.

And, y represents number of push ups in one minute.

Therefore, According to the question,

Each student to do a total of 36 pull-ups and push-ups in 1 minute.

⇒ x+y= 36

But, again from equation, The instructor wanted students to do 8 times as many push-ups as pull-ups.

Therefore, 8x = y

Thus, required system of linear equations that represents this situation is,

x+y= 36 and 8x = y , where x is the number of pull ups and y is the number of push ups in one minute.

By solving these two equations we get, x=4 and y= 32

That is, In one minute 4 pull ups and 32 push ups are required.

California is hit every year by approximately 500 earthquakes that are large enough to be felt. However, those of destructive ma
Elanso [62]

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 3 months elapse before the first earthquake of destructive magnitude occurs is P=0.7788

b) The probability that at least 7 months elapsed before the first earthquake of destructive magnitude occurs knowing that 3 months have already elapsed is P=0.7165

Step-by-step explanation:

Tha most appropiate distribution to model the probability of this events is the exponential distribution.

The cumulative distribution function of the exponential distribution is given by:

P(t

The destructive earthquakes happen in average once a year. This can be expressed by the parameter λ=1/year.

We can express the probability of having a 3 month period (t=3/12=0.25) without destructive earthquakes as:

P(t>0.25)=1-P(t

Applying the memory-less property of the exponential distribution, in which the past events don't affect the future probabilities, the probability of having at least 7 months (t=0.58)  elapsed before the first earthquake given that 3 months have already elapsed, is the same as the probability of having 4 months elapsed before an earthquake.

P(t>0.58)/P(t>0.25)=P(t>0.33)

P(t>0.33)=1-P(t

In shipment of 850 widgets, 32 are found to be detective. At this rate, how many detective widgets could be expected in 22,000 w
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The number of detective widgets out of 22,000 widgets is 828 widgets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of widgets = 850

The number of detective widgets out of 850 = 32

Now,

∵ Out of 850 widgets , the number of detective widgets = 32

SO,Out of 1 widgets , the number of detective widgets = \frac{32}{850}

∴ Out of 22,000 widgets , the number of detective widgets = \frac{32}{850} × 22,000

Or, Out of 22,000 widgets , the number of detective widgets = 828.23

Hence, The number of detective widgets out of 22,000 widgets is 828 widgets Answer
