Answer:

You need to find the equations for each scenario and set them = to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

A) S = 5t + 5

B) S = 7t + 2

Now set them = and solve for t

5t + 5 = 7t + 2

3 = 2t

t = 3/2 of an hr

To check plug in 3/2 into both equations and you should get same answer.

Hope this helps and never stop striving to learn more!

Answer:

0.1749

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the probability that none of the house-holds tuned to 50 minutes.

P(tune to 50 minutes) = 0.16

p = 0.16

q = 1 - 0.16

q = 0.84

number of households (n) = 10

x = number of households that tuned at 50 minutes

since none of the household tuned, then:

x = 0

Using the binomial expression:

P(x=x) ^nC_xp^xq^{(n-x)}

P(x=0) = ^{10}C_0 \ (0.16)^0 \ (0.84)^{(10-0)}

P(x=0) = \dfrac{10!}{(10-0)!0!} \ (0.16)^0 \ (0.84)^{(10)}

P(x=0) = 1 \times  \ 1 \times 0.1749

P(x =0) = 0.1749

Solve the following word problem. A man travels from Town X to Town Y at an average rate of 50 mph and returns at an average rat
777dan777 [17]
Distance = rate*time

Let distance from X to Y be 'd' 

From the equation we can solve for 'time'

time = distance/rate

The total time it takes to go 50 mph ,then 40 mph is:

\frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{40}

The total time it takes to go 45 mph round trip is:

\frac{2d}{45}

We know that the round-trip at 45 mph takes half-hour shorter, so by adding '1/2' to its time it will be equal to the time to go 50 then 40.

\frac{2d}{45} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{40} \\  \\ \frac{4d+45}{90} = \frac{9d}{200} \\  \\ 800d+9000 = 810d \\  \\ 10d = 9000 \\  \\ d = 900

Answer: The distance from X to Y is 900 miles.
