Answer:
Let x rep the lenght of the shorter one
Then the longer one is 2x+1
Therefore
(2x+1) + x = 16
We now solve for x
2x + 1 + x = 16
Group and evaluate like terms
3x +1 = 16
3x = 16 -1
× = 15/3
x = 5
So the shorter one is 5 ft
The longer one is 2(5)+1= 11
Divide the silver present in the bar by the total weight of the bar to find the percentage of silver in the bar.

Multiply this decimal by 100 for the percentage.

Rounded to the nearest tenth
, 71.4% of the weight of the bar is silver.
Answer:
a) 0.1558
b) 0.7983
c) 0.1478
Step-by-step explanation:
If we suppose that small aircraft arrive at the airport according to a <em>Poisson process</em> <em>at the rate of 5.5 per hour</em> and if X is the random variable that measures the number of arrivals in one hour, then the probability of k arrivals in one hour is given by:
(a) What is the probability that exactly 4 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period?
(b) What is the probability that at least 4 arrive during a 1-hour period?
(c) If we define a working day as 12 hours, what is the probability that at least 75 small aircraft arrive during a working day?
If we redefine the time interval as 12 hours instead of one hour, then the rate changes from 5.5 per hour to 12*5.5 = 66 per working day, and the pdf is now
and we want <em>P(X ≥ 75) = 1-P(X<75)</em>. But
hence
P(X ≥ 75) = 1-0.852 = 0.1478
The third one is correct.
