A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors. If the number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite, what fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded?a) 5/6
b) 1/5
c) 1/6
d) 1/7
e) 1/24

Answer:

\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The satellite has 30 modular units.

There are equal numbers of non-upgraded sensors in each unit.

Let us assume that on the entire satellite there are x numbers of upgraded sensors.

Then as per the given condition, there are \frac{x}{5} number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Therefore, the number of non-upgraded sensors on the entire satellite is \frac{30x}{5} =6x

Hence, total number of sensors in the satellite is (x+ 6x) =7x

Therefore, the required fraction of the upgraded sensors is \frac{x}{7x} =\frac{1}{7}. (Answer)

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally
storchak [24]

Answer:

a) 0.1587

b) 0.0475

c) 0.7938

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining our random variable.

X : ''Thickness (in mm) of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village''

X is modeled as a normal random variable.

X ~ N(μ,σ)

Where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

To calculate all the probabilities, we are going to normalize the random variable X.

We are going to call to the standard normal distribution ''Z''.

[(X - μ) / σ] ≅ Z

We normalize by subtracting the mean to X and then dividing by standard deviation.

We can find the values of probabilities for Z in a standard normal distribution table.

We are going to call Φ(A) to the normal standard cumulative distribution evaluated in a value ''A''

a)

P(X

P(ZΦ(-1) = 0.1587

b)

P(X>7)=P(\frac{X-4.5}{1.5}>\frac{7-4.5}{1.5})

P(Z>1.666)=1-P(Z\leq 1.666)=

1 - Φ(1.666) = 1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

c)

P(3

P(-1 Φ(1.666) - Φ(-1) = 0.9525 - 0.1587 = 0.7938

james' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. Although James worked 3 days less than David, they earned $180 each. Find the number
zalisa [80]

Answer: 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent James' daily wage

James' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. It means that Davis's daily wage will be $(x-5)

Let y represent number of days that James worked. James worked 3 days less than David. It means that the number of days that Davis worked would be (y + 3) days

they earned $180 each. Total amount of money earned by either of of them is the product of wage and the number of days worked.

Since James earned $180, then

180 = xy - - - - - - - - 1

Since Davis also earned $180, then

180 = (x - 5)(y + 3)

xy +3x -5y -15 = 180 - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting xy = 180 into equation 2

It becomes

180 + 3x - 5y -15 = 180

3x - 5y = 180 - 180 + 15

3x - 5y = 15 - - - - - - -3

From equation 1, x = 180/y

Substituting x = 180/y into equation 3, it becomes

3 × 180/y - 5y = 15

540 - 5y^2 = 15y

5y^2 + 15y -540 = 0

Dividing through by 5

y^2 + 3y -108 = 0

y^2 + 12y - 9y -108 = 0

y(y + 12) - 9(y + 12) = 0

y + 12 = 0 or y - 9 = 0

y = -12 or y = 9

Since the number of days cannot be negative, then,

Number of days that James worked will be 9 days
