sent by express. Of those sent standard, 80% arrive the next day, and of those sent express, 95% arrive the next day. A record of parcel delivery is chosen at random from the company's files.What is the probability that the parcel was shipped expressed and arrived the next day?

Answer:

The probability that the parcel was shipped expressed and arrived the next day = 0.2375 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain delivery service offers both express and standard delivery.

Let Proportion of parcels sent by standard delivery, P(A_1) = 0.75

      Proportion of parcels sent by express delivery, P(A_2) = 0.25

Let <em>event B = Parcel arriving the next day</em>

Also, Probability of parcel arriving the next day given it was sent through standard delivery, P(B/A_1) = 0.8

Probability of parcel arriving the next day given it was sent through express delivery, P(B/A_2) = 0.95

Now, Probability that the parcel was shipped expressed and arrived the next day = P(A_2) * P(B/A_2) = 0.25 * 0.95 = 0.2375 .

<span>Let x be Joanna's heart rate immediately after running one mile. After this heart rate x decreased by 2 over 5, Joanna's heart rate was 60 beats per minute. We can set up an equation to solve this question. x - (2/5) x = 60 (3/5) x = 60 x = (5/3) 60 x = 300 / 3 x = 100 Joanna's heart rate immediately after running one mile was 100 beats per minute.</span>

Problem PageQuestion Working together, two pumps can drain a certain pool in hours. If it takes the older pump hours to drain th
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

10.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Working together, two pumps can drain a certain pool in  6  hours. If it takes the older pump  14  hours to drain the pool by itself, how long will it take the newer pump to drain the pool on its own?

Let t represent time taken by newer pump in hours to drain the pool on its own.

So part of pool drained by newer pump in one hour would be \frac{1}{t}.

We have been given that it takes the older pump 14 hours to drain the pool by itself, so part of pool drained by older pump in one hour would be \frac{1}{14}.

Part of pool drained by both pumps working together in one hour would be \frac{1}{6}.

Now, we will equate the sum of part of pool emptied by both pumps with  \frac{1}{6} and solve for t as:

\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{6}

\frac{1}{14}\times 42t+\frac{1}{t}\times 42t=\frac{1}{6}\times 42t

3t+42=7t

7t=3t+42

7t-3t=3t-3t+42

4t=42

\frac{4t}{4}=\frac{42}{4}

t=10.5

Therefore, it will take 10.5 hours for the newer pump to drain the pool on its own.

Jennifer sold 57 pieces of art if she sold twice as many paintings as sculptures how many painting did she sell??
Westkost [7]

so we know she has sculptures and paintings, if she sold twice as many paintings as sculptures, that means that for every 2 paintings, she sold 1 sculpture, so the paintings and sculptures are on a 2:1 ratio.

we know she sold a total of 57, so we'll need to split 57 in a 2:1 ratio, we'll simply divide the whole amount of 57 by (2+1) and distribute accordingly.

\bf \cfrac{paintings}{sculptures}\qquad 2:1\qquad \cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{57}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{57}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 19}{1\cdot 19}\implies \cfrac{\boxed{38}}{19}
