Answer:

It take 37.5 hours to fill the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time Taken to fill the tank  =  15 hours

Time Taken to empty the tank = 25 hours

To Find:

Time taken to fill the tank when both the inlet and outlet is opened at the same time  = ?

Solution:

Let the time to fill the tank be x

In 15 hours the tap fills the tank

Rate at which the tank is filled  = \frac{1}{15}

In 25 hours the tap empties the tank

Rate at which the tank is drained = \frac{1}{25}

The net gain per minute on the total filling rate  is

=> \frac{1}{x} = Rate at which the tank is filled - Rate at which the tank is drained

=>\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{25}

=>\frac{1}{x} = \frac{25-15}{15 \times 25}

=>\frac{1}{x} = \frac{10}{375}

=> 10x  = 375

=>x = \frac{375}{10}

=>x = 37.5

Data collected over a long period of time show that the length of time x to complete a particular college entrance test is norma
Finger [1]

Using the z-table, the probability that a student taking this test will finish in 100 minutes or less is 0.0824 or 8.24%.

For a normally distributed set of data, given the mean and standard deviation, the probability can be determined by solving the z-score and using the z-table.

First, solve for the z-score using the formula below.

z-score = (x – μ) / σ

where x = individual data value = 100

μ = mean = 125

σ = standard deviation = 18

z-score = (100 – 125) / 18

z-score = (-25) / 18

z-score = -1.39

Find the probability that corresponds to the z-score in the z-table. (see attached images)

-1.39 - (-1.3) : -1.4 - (-1.3) = x - 0.0968 : 0.0808 - 0.0968

-0.09 : -0.1 = x - 0.0968 : -0.016

x - 0.0968 = -0.09(-0.016)/-0.1

x = -0.0144 + 0.0968

x = 0.0824

x = 0.0824

Hence, the probability that a student taking this test will finish in 100 minutes or less is 0.0824 or 8.24%.
