Answer:

correct answer: Bob's hose required alone 33 hours and Jim's hose required alone 66 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bob's hose time = 50% of Jim's hose time ⇒

⇒ Jim's hose time = 2 · Bob's hose time

Let be x  Bob's hose time and  2x Jim's hose time

The following equation will solve the problem:

1/x + 1/ 2x = 1/22  

The common denominator for both fractions is 2x, so we will multiply the first fraction by the number 2 and get:

2/2x + 1/2x = 1/22 ⇒ 3/2x = 1/22 ⇒ x = 3 · 22 / 2 ⇒ x = 3 · 11 = 33 hours

Bob's hose time x = 33 hours and

Jim's hose time 2x = 66 hours

From a group of 3 men and 4 women, a delegation of 2 is selected. What is the expected number of men in the delegation?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The expected number of men in the delegation is 0.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of men = 3

Number of women = 4

A delegation of 2 is selected.

Let X be the number of men selected. So, the possible values of X are 0,1,2.

P(X=0)=\dfrac{^3C_0\times ^4C_2}{^7C_2}=\dfrac{2}{7}

P(X=1)=\dfrac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^7C_2}=\dfrac{4}{7}

P(X=2)=\dfrac{^3C_2\times ^4C_0}{^7C_2}=\dfrac{1}{7}

The expected number of men in the delegation is

E(x)=0\times P(X=0)+1\times P(X=1)+2\times P(X=2)

E(x)=0\times \dfrac{2}{7}+1\times \dfrac{4}{7}+2\times \dfrac{1}{7}

E(x)=\dfrac{6}{7}

E(x)\approx 0.86

Therefore, the expected number of men in the delegation is 0.86.
