Let after n week both tanks have same quantity of water .

for first tank
=============
tank hold 540 gallon of water ,
leaking of water 4 gallon /week
so, in n week water leak from the tank =4× n = 4n

now, after n week quantity of water in the tank = 540 -4n

for second tank
==============
quantity of water in the tank =720 gallon
leaking of water at the rate = 7gallon/week
so, after n week water leak from the tank = 7× n =7n

after n week quantity of water rest in the tank = 720 -7n

now ,
according to question ,

water in first tank = water in second tank
540 -4n = 720 -7n

7n -4n = 720 -540

3n = 180

n = 60

hence , after 60 week both tank have same quantity of water.

The distances male long jumpers for State College jump are approximately normal with a mean of 263 inches and a standard deviati
Effectus [21]

Answer:

His jump was of 272.45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 263, \sigma = 14

75th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.675 = \frac{X - 263}{14}

X - 263 = 14*0.675

X = 272.45

His jump was of 272.45 inches
