Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be time to fill with all pipes open

All the pipes will complete a single job that is = 1

Given is that the tank can be filled by one pipe in 4 hours and by a second pipe in 6 hours and can be drained by a third pipe in 3 hours.

So, equation forms;

\frac{t}{4}+ \frac{t}{6}- \frac{t}{3}=1

=> \frac{3t+2t-4t}{12} =1

=> \frac{t}{12} =1

And t = 12 hours

Hence, it will take 12 hours to do the job.

12 hours..........
+ - = 1
Multiply by 12 to clear the fractions
3t + 2t - 4t = 12
t = 12 hrs to fill the pool

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$550+/-$20.79

= ( $529.21, $570.79)

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $529.21, $570.79)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $550

Standard deviation r = $75

Number of samples n = 50

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

$550+/-1.96($75/√50)

$550+/-1.96($10.60660171779)

$550+/-$20.7889393668

$550+/-$20.79

= ( $529.21, $570.79)

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $529.21, $570.79)

Find the area of the figure to the nearest square unit.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

357 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is made of a triangle and a half-square

we will calculate the area of each one

  • The half square:

let A1 be the area of the half-circle:

A1= (10²*π)/2 = 50π mi²

  • The rectangle:

Let A2 be the area of the triangle:

A2= 10*20=200 mi²

  • The whole shape:

let At be the total area:

At =A1+A2= 200+50π =357.07≈ 357 mi²
