Answer:

The probability is 0.4647

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X is the life of an electric component in years.

X follows a exponential distribution, it means that the probability that the life of an electric component is less than x years is calculated as:

P(X

Where x\geq0 and \beta is the mean life of the electric component.

So, replacing x by 5 and \beta by 8, we get that the probability that a randomly selected component has a life less than 5 years is:

P(X

Zach has a terrarium with the dimensions of 20 by 8 and the terrarium was filled with 3 inches of sand.Zach gets a new terrarium
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: the sand in the new terrarium is 2 inches deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zach has a terrarium with the dimensions of 20 by 8 and the terrarium was filled with 3 inches of sand. It means that the volume of sand that this terrarium contains is

20 × 8 × 3 = 480 inches³

Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger with the dimensions of 10 by 24. If Zach moved the existing sand in the new terrarium and the height of the sand is represented by h, then the volume of sand into he new terrarium is

10 × 24 × h = 240h

Since the volume of sand in both terrariums is equal, then

240h = 480

h = 480/240

h = 2 inches

Answer:

The right option is B) 12.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each share = $34

Total cost of shares = 30 × 34 = $1020

Since the company paid annual dividends of $0.42 per share.

i.e Total annual dividend company paid = 0.42 × 30

Total annual dividend company paid = $ 12.60

Hence the right option is B) 12.60
