so two fellows did all the carpeting in 10 days.

now, how long did "1" fellow work only?  well, it worked for 10 days.

how long did the other fellow work for?  well, it was working alongside the first one, and it was there for also 10 days.

so the two guys working together, really did 10+10 = 20 "days worth of work".  So that the whole carpeting job can be done in 20 "days worth of work".

now if we want to finish it in 4 days, 20 ÷ 4 = 5.

so if we hire 5 guys, since each one will do 4 days worth, 5*4 = 20 <- the whole job.

Answer:

5 worker

Step-by-step explanation:

Two men complete carpeting = 10 days

Total time taken to complete the work= Number of men× Number of days

Total time taken to complete the work= 2×10

Total time taken to complete the work= 20

Let x number of men complete the work in 4 days

According to question

4×x= 20

x= 20÷4

x=5 men

Number of 5 worker are required to complete the work in 4 days

1. Flight 202's arrival time is normally distributed with a mean arrival time of 4:30
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the random time variable, X = 45min; mean, ∪ = 30min; standard deviation, α = 15min

By comparing P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 30)

P(Z ≤ X - ∪/α) = P(Z ≤ 45 - 30/15) = P( Z ≤ 1)

Using Table

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.3413

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.3413) = 0.1537

∴ P(Z > 45) = 0.1537

2)  By compering (0 ≤ Z ≤ 15) ( that is 4:15pm)

P(Z ≤ 15 - 30/15) = P(Z ≤ -1)

Using Table

P(-1 ≤ Z ≤ 0) = 0.3413

P(Z < 1) = (0.5 - 0.3413) = 0.1587

∴ P(Z < 15) = 0.1587

3) By comparing P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 60) (that is for 5:00pm)

P(Z ≤ 60 - 30/15) = P(Z ≤ 2)

Using Table

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.4772

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.4772) = 0.0228

∴ P(Z > 60) = 0.0228

Connor and Angie helped take attendance during their schools practice fire drill if the actual count was between 77 and 89 inclu
wel

Answer:

The most absolute error is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for absolute error is given by the following relation;

Absolute error, Δx = Value measured, x₀ - Exact (actual) value, x

Δx = x₀ - x

Since the actual count is between 77 and 89, the maximum absolute error will be where the actual value = 77 and the measured value = 89 and vice versa, giving an absolute error of 89 -77 = 12.

The most absolute error = 12.
