Answer:

The second pump to drain the pond if it had to do the same job alone is \frac{3}{5} hour or 0.6 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A pond is being drained by a pump. After 3 hours, the pond is half empty. A second pump is put into operation, and together the two pumps finish emptying the pond in half an hour.

To find : How long would it take the second pump to drain the pond if it had to do the same job alone?

Solution :

According to question,

Pump A drained in 3 hours.

So, Work done by pump in 1 hour is \frac{1}{3}

Together the two pumps finish emptying the pond in half an hour.

i.e. Pump A + Pump B drained in \frac{1}{2} hour

Work done by pump in 1 hour is \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=2 hour

The work done by pump B is 2-\frac{1}{3} hour.

The work done by pump B is \frac{5}{3} hour.

So, Pump B drained in \frac{3}{5} hour.

Therefore, The second pump to drain the pond if it had to do the same job alone is \frac{3}{5} hour or 0.6 hour.

The first pump empties half the pond in 3 hours, so in 1/6 that time (1/2 hour), it empties (1/6)·(1/2) = 1/12 of the pond.

The second pump empties the other 5/12 of the pond in that half hour, so has a pumping rate of (1/2 h)/(5/12 pond) = (6/5 h)/pond.

The second pump could do the entire job alone in 1 hour and 12 minutes.

We are studying the proportion of cities that have private garbage collector. We want a maximum error of 0.10 and a 95% confiden
True [87]

Answer:

The minimum number of cities we need to contact is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.5, M = 0.1

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.1 = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.1\sqrt{n} = 0.98

\sqrt{n} = 9.8

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (9.8)^{2}

n = 96

The minimum number of cities we need to contact is 96.

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the least number of marbles that can be in the bag will be 10 marbles.

<h2>Solution to the probability.</h2>

If the bag contains 60 marbles, the number of red marbles will be:

= 1/5 × 60

= 12 marbles.

The number of white marbles will be:

= 3/10 × 60

= 18 marbles.

The number of blue marbles will be:

= 60 - (12 + 18)

= 60 - 30

= 30 marbles.

Furthermore, when the bag has 4 red marbles and 6 white marbles, there'll be 10 blue marbles.

Lastly, to find the probability of choosing a blue marble, we've to multiply 1/2 by the number given.
