Let
x----------> the number of students
y---------> the time in minutes

we know that
<span>If the time varies inversely with the number of students
</span>so
y=k/x
for x=3
y=16 min
16=k/3---------> k=48

y=48/x
for x=2
y=48/2-------> y=24 minutes

the answer is
24 minutes

Let ABC be the triangle (with A as summit) and BC its base which is at the  same time the diameter of the semi-circle. Let AH be the altitude of ABC.

Length of the Base BC (which is also the diameter of the semi circle) = 4 units and consequently the radius = 2 units
Length of the altitude AH = 5 units, hence:
a) the Area of ABC = (Base x Altitude)/2 = (4 x 5)/2 = 10 units²
b) the area of the semi circle is: (π x R²)/2 = (π x 2²)/2 = 6.28 units²

Total area = 16.28 units²

A company is considering producing some new products. Based on past records, management believes that there is a 70% chance that
VladimirAG [237]

The probability that the results indicate an unsuccessful market for the product and the product is actually unsuccessful is P=0.77.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Events:

S: success

F: failure

MS: market research forecast a success

MF: market research forecast a failure

The information we have is:

P(S)=0.70

P(F)=0.30

P(S|MS)=0.90

P(F|MS)=0.20

If P(F|MS)=0.20, we can derive that P(F|MF)=0.80. That is, the failed products were predicted to be a failure based on market research 80 per cent of the time.

We also can conclude that P(S|MF)=0.10.

We can calculate the probability of having a forecast of a failure, given that the product is actually unsuccessful as:

P(MF|F) = \dfrac{P(F|MF)\times P(F)}{P(F|MF)\times P(F)+P(S|MF)\times P(S)}

P(MF|F) =\frac{(0.8\times 0.3)}{0.8\times 0.3)+(0.1\times 0.7}

P(MF|F) =\dfrac{0.24}{0.31}=0.77

The probability that the results indicate an unsuccessful market for the product and the product is actually unsuccessful is P=0.77.

What is 12 lbs 5oz -7lbs 10oz
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
You can first convert everything to ounces and then subtract, when you get your answer convert it back to lbs.
*16 oz = 1 lb

12 lbs 5 oz = 197 oz
7lbs 10 oz = 94 oz

197 - 94 = 103

103/16
= 4 lbs and 7 oz

hope this helps :)

In a certain​ four-engine vintage​ aircraft, now quite​ unreliable, each engine has a 15​% chance of failure on any​ flight, as
Romashka [77]

Answer:

0.0975 or 9.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that no engines fail simultaneously, the probability that exactly one engine fails is the probability that the first engine fails (15%) multiplied by the probability that the second engine does not fail (100% - 35%):

P = 0.15*(1-0.35)\\P=0.0975

The probability of exactly one engine failure is 0.0975 or 9.75%
