Answer:

a. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply the equation: 3x+x+8=4

1st step: 4x+8=4

2nd step: 4x=4-8

3rd step: x=\frac{-4}{4}

4th step: x= -1

Let x denote the lifetime of a mcchine component with an exponential distribution. The mean time for the component failure is 25
aliina [53]

Answer:

0.1353 = 13.53% probability that the lifetime exceeds the mean time by more than 1 standard deviations

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}

The mean time for the component failure is 2500 hours.

This means that m = \frac{2500}, \mu = \frac{1}{2500} = 0.0004

What is the probability that the lifetime exceeds the mean time by more than 1 standard deviations?

The standard deviation of the exponential distribution is the same as the mean, so this is P(X > 5000).

P(X > x) = e^{-0.0004*5000} = 0.1353

0.1353 = 13.53% probability that the lifetime exceeds the mean time by more than 1 standard deviations

The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 38. Find the numbers.
Damm [24]

Answer:

I would set this up as:

let: lesser number = x

     greater number = 2x + 5

Restating the word problem:

lesser number + greater number = 38

        x           +  2x + 5             = 38

Solving:  3x + 5 = 38

                  - 5     -5

             ---------------

              3x      =  33

              ---          ---

               3            3

               x        =  11

Substitution for the greater number:

        2(11) + 5

          22    + 5

              27

The ratio of girls to boys in the junior high band is 5 to 7. At the beginning of year, there were 72 students in the band. By t
rusak2 [61]
Ratio is 5girls:7boys with total 72 students
5+7= 12
72➗12= 6
6(5:7)= 30 girls : 42 boys

New ratio is 3:4 with 48 boys

48➗4= 12

So for girls 3x12= 36

So started with 30 girls ended with 36 girls... 6 girls joined band during the school year.
