12% less since faster
100%-12%=88%

88% of 4 min and 23 sec=
0.88 times 263 seconds=
=231.44=3 minutes and 50 seconds rounded

3 mins, 50 seconds

Elena has some bottles of water that each hold 17 fluid ounces.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

17b = w

Step-by-step explanation:

17 times the number of bottles = the number of ounces of water

Then you just plug in the numbers you are given

17(51) = w

17 x 51 = 867

<u>51 bottles of water holds 867 ounces</u>

<u />

17b = (51)

divide both sides by 17

51/17 = 3

b = 3

<u>It would take 3 bottles of water to hold 51 ounces</u>

Let X be the number of the cars being repaired at a repair shop. We have the following information:

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) Sample Space

$S = \{0,1,2,3\}$

(b) PMF

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {P(x)} & {1/3} & {1/6} & {1/6} & {1/3} \ \end{array}$

(c) CDF

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {F(x)} & {1/3} & {1/2} & {2/3} & {1} \ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): The sample space

From the question, we understand that at most 3 cars will be repaired.

This implies that, the number of cars will be 0, 1, 2 or 3

So, the sample space is:

$S = \{0,1,2,3\}$

Solving (b): The PMF

From the question, we have:

$P(2) = P(1)$

$P(0) = P(3)$

$P(1\ or\ 2) = 0.5 * P(0\ or\ 3)$

$P(1\ or\ 2) = 0.5 * P(0\ or\ 3)$ can be represented as:

$P(1) + P(2) = 0.5[P(0) + P(3)]$

Substitute $P(2) = P(1)$ and $P(0) = P(3)$

$P(1) + P(1) = 0.5[P(0) + P(0)]$

$2P(1) = 0.5[2P(0)]$

$2P(1) = P(0)$

$P(0)= 2P(1)$

Also note that:

$P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = 1$

Substitute $P(2) = P(1)$ and $P(0) = P(3)$

$P(0) + P(1) + P(1) + P(0) = 1$

$2P(1) + 2P(0) = 1$

Substitute $P(0)= 2P(1)$

$2P(1) + 2*2P(1) = 1$

$2P(1) + 4P(1) = 1$

$6P(1) = 1$

Solve for P(1)

$P(1) = \frac{1}{6}$

To calculate others, we have:

$P(2) = P(1)$

$P(2) = P(1) = \frac{1}{6}$

$P(0)= 2P(1)$

$P(0) =2 * \frac{1}{6}$ $P(0) =\frac{1}{3}$

$P(3) = P(0) =\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the PMF is:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {P(x)} & {1/3} & {1/6} & {1/6} & {1/3} \ \end{array}$

Solving (c): The CDF ; F(x)

This is calculated as:

$F(x) = P(X \le x) =\sum\limit^{3}_{x_i \le x} P(x_i)$

For x = 0;

We have:

$P(X \le 0) = P(0)$

$P(X \le 0) = 1/3$

For x = 1

$P(X \le 1) = P(0) + P(1)$

$P(X \le 1) = 1/3 + 1/6$

$P(X \le 1) = 1/2$

For x = 2

$P(X \le 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)$

$P(X \le 2) = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/6$

$P(X \le 2) = 2/3$

For x = 3

$P(X \le 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)$

$P(X \le 3) = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/3$

$P(X \le 3) = 1$

Hence, the CDF is:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {F(x)} & {1/3} & {1/2} & {2/3} & {1} \ \end{array}$

Which system of inequalities is shown?

poizon [28]

$\huge\green{\tt MathSolution:}$

C. y < × y < 4

The graph of y = b is a horizontal line passing through the point (0, b) on the y-axis. To graph an equation of this form, such as y = 4, plot the point (0, b) on the y-axis and draw a horizontal line through it (see Example 4). If the equation is not in the form y = b, solve the equation for y. Vertical Lines: x = a.
