Answer:

3.9375 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Combined time

= product of individual times ÷ sum

= (7×9)/(7+9)

= 63/16

= 3.9375

Answer:

c =3.9375 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to determine time to finish the job together is

1/a + 1/b = 1/c

Where a and b are the times to complete the job separately and c is the time to complete the job when working together

1/7 + 1/9 = 1/c

Multiply by 63c to get rid of the fractions

63c*(1/7 + 1/9) = 1/c *63c

9c + 7c = 63

Combine like terms

16c = 63

Divide each side by 16

16c/16 = 63/16

c =3.9375 hours

A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is .5
lara [203]

Answer:

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 0.499, \sigma = 0.002

Target value of .500 in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within .004 in. of this target value.

So bearing larger than 0.504 in or smaller than 0.496 in are not acceptable.

Larger than 0.504

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.504.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.504 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938= 0.0062

Smaller than 0.496

pvalue of Z when X = -1.5

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.496 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.0668 + 0.0062 = 0.073

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

The Rodriguez family went to dinner at Pasta Palace. Mr. Rodriguez ordered a meal for $6.25; Mrs. R ordered a meal for $7.50; th
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Given:
Mr. Rodriguez :                          6.25
Mrs. R                                        7.50
2 children @ 4.99 each       <u>      9.98</u>
Subtotal:                                 23.73
Sales tax 7.25%                        1.72        *23.73 x 7.25%
Total tip 15%                         <u>    3.56  </u>      *23.73 x 15%
Grand total                            $29.01


Tips should be applied to pre-tax amount not post-tax. However, some companies compute tip based on post-tax amount. This means that the tip you are paying is computed based on the total amount of the meal as well as the sales tax you paid for the meal.
