Answer:

  3.65×10⁹ lbs/month, or 3.65 billion*

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{6\,bags}{1\,household\cdot month}\cdot\dfrac{4\,lbs}{1\,bag}\cdot\dfrac{1\,household}{2\,people}\cdot\dfrac{3.04\cdot 10^8\,people}{1\,US}\\\\=\dfrac{6\cdot 4\cdot 3.04\cdot 10^8\,lbs}{2\,US\cdot month}\approx 3.65\cdot 10^9\,\text{lbs/month for US population}

_____

10⁹ = 1 billion in "short scale" countries such as the US

A glass is 4/7 full. Then 70 cm³ orange juice is poured in. The glass is now 3/4 full.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The volume of the glass is 217.8 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

If the glass were initially 4/7 full, that means 3/7 of the volume is still available to hold more juice.

Let v represent the volume of the glass.  

Then (3/7)v + 70 cm³ = (3/4)v.

We need to solve this for v.

Here the LCD is 28.  Thus,

(3/7)v + 70 cm³ = (3/4)v →  (12/28)v + 70 cm³ = (21/28)v.

Subtracting  (12/28)v from both sides, we get:

70 cm³ = (9/28)v.

We can isolate v by mult. both sides by the inverse of 9/28, which is 28/9:

(28/9)(70 cm³) = v

The volume of the glass is 217.8 cm³

A chemical plant has an emergency alarm system. When an emergency situation exists, the alarm sounds with probability 0.95. When
Katen [24]

Answer:

the probability that a real emergency situation exists is 0.16 (16%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event A= the alarm sounds ,we have

P(A)= probability that an emergency situation exists * probability that the alarm sounds given that an emergency situation exists + probability that a emergency situation does not exist * probability that the alarm sounds given that an emergency situation does not exist = 0.004* 0.95+ 0.996 * 0.02 = 0.02372

then if we use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability and define the event E= a emergency situation exists , then

P(E/A)= P(E∩A)/P(A)= 0.004* 0.95/0.02372 =0.16 (16%)

where

P(E∩A)= probability that an emergency situation exists and the alarm sounds

P(E/A) =  probability that an emergency situation exists given that the alarm has sounded
