A health clinic uses a solution of bleach to sterilize petri dishes in which cultures are grown. The sterilization tank contains

120 gal of a solution of 4% ordinary household bleach mixed with pure distilled water. New research indicates that the concentration of bleach should be 6% for complete sterilization. How much of the solution should be drained and replaced with bleach to increase the bleach content to the recommended level?

Answer:

2.5 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

let be x = galons of solution to be drained and replace with bleach

so, we have to substract to the current solution of bleach 0.04*120, x gallons that have a concentration of 0.04 x

and also, we have to add the same gallons of bleach to the solution, that is x

and have to obtain a final concentration of 0.06*120

we can express the problem with the follow equation:

0.04*120 - 0.04*x + x = 0.06*120

solving the equation for x:

4.8+0.96*x=7.2

0.96*x=7.2-4.8

0.96*x=2.4

x =2.5 gallons

\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent  }

\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}

\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}

\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }

\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }

\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }

\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}

\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}

\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}

\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}

\sf{ x = 180010/100}

\sf{ x = 1800.1 }

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

While working at his neighborhood math tutoring center researching the comprehension level of the students Dion investigated that the distribution of the student test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 79.13 and a standard deviation of 6.34. What is the probability that the student scores less than 60.11

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

z = 60.11 - 79.13/6.34
