Answer: 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that each person is assigned one wall, and all 5 people begin painting at the same time.

Since everyone will finish painting their assigned wall after 20 minutes, it takes one person 20 minutes to paint one wall.

If we have 9 people and 9 walls, we can again assign one wall to each person.

Everyone will take 20 minutes to paint their assigned wall.

In other words, it takes 20 minutes for 9 people to paint 9 walls.

200 grams of fertilizer are used for each tree in an orchard containing 1200 trees. at $2.75 per kilogram of fertilizer, how muc

stiks02 [169]

To determine the cost to fertilize the trees, you need to figure out how many kilograms of fertilizer are needed. With the information given, you can determine The number of grams needed to fertilize 1200 trees. To do this you would multiply 200 times 1200. This equals 240,000 grams. To convert this to kilograms, divide 240000g by 1000 g. Every group of 1000 g is 1 kg. The answer is 240 kilograms. Multiply 240 kg by the price of $2.75 per kilogram to get $660 as the cost.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each tablet, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it meets the required specifications, or it does not. The probability of a tablet meeting the required specifications is independent of any other tablet, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
