A basin is filled by two pipes in 12 minutes and 16 minutes respectively. Due to the obstruction of water flow after the two pip

es have been running together for some time, the 1st pipe carries 7/8 of the carrying capacity and the 2nd pipe carries 5/6 of the carrying capacity. After removing the water barrier, the tank is full in 3 minutes. How long after the flow of water in the two pipes became normal?​

Answer:

The time duration of the two pipes restricted flow before the flow became normal is 4.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The time duration for the volume, V, of the basin to be filled by one of the pipe, A, = 12 minutes

The time duration for the volume, V, of the basin to be filled by the other pipe, B, = 16 minutes

Therefore, the flow rate of pipe A = V/12

The flow rate of pipe B = V/16

Due to the restriction, we have;

The proportion of its carrying capacity the first pipe, A, carries = 7/8 of the carrying capacity

The proportion of its carrying capacity the second pipe, B, carries = 5/6 of the carrying capacity

Whereby the tank is filled 3 minutes after the restriction is removed, we have;

\dfrac{7}{8} \times \dfrac{V}{12} \times t + \dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{V}{16} \times t +  \dfrac{V}{12} \times 3 + \dfrac{V}{16} \times 3 = V

Simplifying gives;

\dfrac{(2\cdot t +7) \cdot V}{16}  = V

2·t + 7 = 16

t = (16 - 7)/2 = 4.5 minutes

Therefore, it took 4.5 seconds of the restricted flow before the the flow of water in the two pipes became normal

The answer is 45 because a object with 4 sides is equal to 360 degrees. If 45 is x you would add them together as 45+45+135+135=360

In a simple regression analysis (where y is a dependent and x an independent variable), if the y-intercept is positive, then it
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x  

On this case the correct answer would be:

E.  none of the above

Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options:

A.  there is a positive correlation between X and Y

B.  there is a negative correlation between X and Y

C.  if X is increased, Y must also increase

D.  if Y is increased, X must also increase

E.  none of the above

If we want a model y = mx +b where m represent the lope and b the intercept

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x  

On this case the correct answer would be:

E.  none of the above

Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable

18 questions answered correctly on a test. that is 75% of the total number of questions. How many questions were on the test?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

24 = questions on test

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions answered correctly = questions on test * percent answered correctly


We know that she answered 18 correctly and that 75% were answered correctly

Substitute this information into the equation

18 = questions on test *.75

Divide by .75 on each side

18/.75 = questions on test *.75/.75

24 = questions on test
