Answer:

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 is the correct answer. Divide the total number of gallons by the amount added each hour. Remember that dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. Reduce answer if necessary.  

8 ÷  4 /5 =  8 /1 ×  5 /4 =  40/ 4 = 10

It is possible to get all 8 in one go. However, it is very unlikely because...

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 1/8 chance of getting the dinosaur you want from a box. That means obviously you are significantly more likely to get another less dinosaur. Which it likely won't have lasers and stuff. Which is always sad.

The theoretical probability is far less likely to actually happen than the experimental probability.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Set up a ratio:

240/180 = X/36

Cross multiply:

240 * 36 = 180x

8640 = 180x

Divide both sides by 180:

X = 8640 / 180 = 48

The person would weigh 48 pounds.

The life expectancy (in hours) of an electric bulb is normally distributed with a mean of 5000 and a standard deviation of 1000.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

P(z>1.3) = 0.9032

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Mean = 5000

Standard deviation = 1000

x = 6300

P(x>6300)=?

z-score =?

z-score = x- mean/standard deviation

z-score = 6300 - 5000/1000

z- score = 1300/1000

z-score = 1.3

So, P(x>6300) = P(z>1.3)

Looking at the z-probability distribution table and finding value:

P(z>1.3) = 0.9032

So, P(z>1.3) = 0.9032
