Answer: there are 59059 lbs of gravel.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a mixture of​ concrete, there are four lbs of cement mix for each pound of gravel. This means that eight lbs of cement would be mixed for 2 pounds of gravel and 12 lbs of cement would be mixed for 3 pounds of gravel and 12. Therefore, the constant ratio of cement to gravel is 4:1

The total ratio is 4 + 1 = 5

If the mixture contains a total of 295295 lb of these two​ ingredients, then the number of pounds of gravel that are​ there is

1/5 × 295295 = 59059 lbs

The promising alternative energy sources currently under development are fuel cell technology and large-scale solar energy power
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Denote the event of commercially availability of f_uel cell technology as F_, commercial availability of solar power technology as S

Write the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources in the next 10 years  

P(energy supplied) = P(S ∪ F) -----(1)

Rewrite eqn (1)

P(energy supplied) = P(S) + P(F) - P(F) P(S) ----(2)

substitute 0.85 for P(S) and 0,7 for P(F) in eqn (2) to find the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources

P(energy supplied) = 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.7 * 0.85)

= 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.595)

= 1.55 - 0.595

= 0.955

Therefore, the probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years is 0.955

B) write the probability of only one source of energy available

P(only one source of energy available) = P(\bar F S) ∪ P( \bar S F) ---(3)

Rewrite the equation (3)

P(only one source of energy available) =

=P(\bar F S)+P(\bar S F)\\\\=\{[1-P(F)]P(S)+[1-P(S)]P(F)\}---(4)

=\{[1-0.7]0.85+[1-0.85]0.7\}\\\\=0.255+0.105\\\\=0.36

Therefore,The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years is 0.36
