(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...

... 5x = 6(x -1.75)

(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.

... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x

... 0 = x -10.50

... 10.50 = x

(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50

... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value

(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.

Answer:  42.3 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Draw a picture (see attachment)

Given: angle = 25°, hypotenuse = 100, opposite = ???

\sin\theta=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\quad \rightarrow \quad \sin25^o=\dfrac{y}{100}\quad \rightarrow \quad 100\ \sin 25^o=y\\

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen
noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 5, p = 0.93

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is P(X \geq 1)

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807

Finally

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.
