Answer:

Total Number of eggs in the basket = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The n be number of eggs and n is  between 50 and 60.

So, the possible outcomes are 50, 51, 52, .... , 59 and 60.

If the eggs are counted in 5's, the left over eggs are 4.

Hence, the number of eggs is NOT COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE by 5

So, n ≠ 50, 55 and 60.

If the eggs are counted in 3's  the leftover eggs are  2.

Hence, the number of eggs is NOT COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE by 3

n ≠ 51, 54, 57 and 60.

Now,  the possible values of <u>n = 52, 53, 56, 58 and 59.</u>

Checking for 52, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 2(as 5 x 10=50)

Checking for 53, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 3(as 3 x 10=50)

Checking for 56, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 1

Checking for 58, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 3

Checking for 59, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 4 and when counted in 3, left over eggs are 2.

Hence, TOTAL NUMBER OF EGGS IN THE BASKET ARE 59 as it satisfies bot the given conditions.

Answer:

The number of eggs in the basket is 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The number of eggs in the basket = 3x + 5x

When Loza counts 3's , there are 2 eggs left over

I.e , 3 ( x - 2 )

And  When Loza counts 5's , there are 4 eggs left over

I.e 5 ( x - 4 )

∴ 3 x - 6 = 5 x - 20

Or, 20 - 6 = 5 x - 3 x

Or,  14 = 2 x

∴     x = 7

So, the number of eggs = 3 × 7 + 5 × 7

                                        = 21 + 35 = 56

Hence The number of eggs in the basket is 56   Answer

suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.
emmainna [20.7K]

The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks

O,= 12 weeks

The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.

X~gamma(\alpha ,\beta)

E(X)= \alpha \beta                 \beta= 12^{2}/24=6 weeks

V(x)= \alpha \beta ^{2}                \alpha=24/6= 4

Now we can find the solutions:

The excel formula used to create Figure one is as follows:

=gammadist(X, \alpha, \beta, False)

P(12\leq X\leq 24)

P(12/6\leq G\leq 24/6)

P(2\leq G\leq 4)

P= 0.424

Therefore, probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

0.375 is the answer because there are 3 0's in COLORADO and 8 letter's in total. The fraction part would be 3/8 and in decimals it is 0.375.
