Chad can paint a room in 5 h. cassie can paint the room in 3 h. how long would it take them to paint the room working together?

1 answer:

8 0

If Chad can paint the whole room in 5 hours, in 1 hour he gets 1/5 of it painted. If Cassie can paint the whole room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets 1/3 of it painted. If we add those together we can find out how much of the room they can paint together in one hour. 1/5 + 1/3 = 1/x, with x being the number of hours it will take them to paint the room together. Common denominator is 15, therefore, 3/15 + 5/15 = 1/x and 8/15 = 1/x. Cross-multiply to get 8x = 15, so it will take them 15/8 hours, or 1.9 hours to paint the whole room together.

Answer:

Probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 20% of the candy produced are red. A random sample of 100 bags of Skittles is taken.

The distribution we can use here is;

$\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, p = 0.20 and n = 100

Let $\hat p$ = proportion of red candies in our sample

So, P( $\hat p$ < 0.20) = P( $\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n} } }$ < $\frac{0.20 - 0.20}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2 (1- 0.2)}{100} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0) = 0.5
