Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an illustration of the problem:

             ----------------------------->|<------------------

            A                                  t                     J

Alex and Jo start from their separate homes and drive towards one another.  The t indicates the time at which they meet, which is the same time for both.  Filling in a d = rt table:

              d           =        r        x        t

Alex                              14                t

Jo                                   6                t

The formula for motion is d = rt, so that means that Alex's distance is 14t and Jo's distance is 6t.

             

                      14t                               6t

   ---------------------------------->|<------------------

   A                                       t                      J

The distance between them is 5 miles, so that means that Alex's distance plus Jo's distance equals 5 miles.  In equation form:

14t + 6t = 5 and

20t = 5 so

t = .25 hours or 15 minutes.

If they leave their homes at 3 and they meet 15 minutes later, then they meet at 3:15.

Can you do 2 and 3 please and tell me how you got your answer?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

2. Sorry, I don't how to put that into words, because i'm trying to use calculators, then figure out how they got their answer.

3. C

Step-by-step explanation:

2. ^

3. to get the difference between two numbers, (100 and 50, for example,) you must just simply have them minus each other, like simple math. 100 - 50 = 50.

So your difference between the number 100, and the number 50, are 50.

Which of the following shows the graph of the eniquality y&gt;x+3<br><br> PLEASE include image
7nadin3 [17]

in plain and short, to graph an inequality, we first graph its EQUALITY graph, and then we do the shading.

so to graph y > x + 3, we first graph y = x + 3, which is just a line, and then do a true/false check on a point to see which side we shade.

let's hmmm  check the point say (0,2), x = 0, y = 2.

y > x + 3

2 > 0 + 3

2 > 3  <--- is that true?  is 2 really larger than 3?  nope, so is false.

that simply means that the point (0, 2)  is on the false area, so that's the area we do NOT shade, so <u>we shade the other side</u>.

y > x + 3, means "y" is greater than or larger than that line, but not equals, larger not equal, meaning the values on the borderline are not included, so the line is a dashed line.


check the picture below.

The number of failures of a testing instrument from contamination particles on the product is a Poisson random variable with a m
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift is P(X=0) \approx 0.8659

The probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day is P(X\geq 1 )\approx 0.3508

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of a Poisson random variable X representing the number of successes occurring in a given time interval or a specified region of space is given by the formula:

P(X)=\frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^x}{x!}

Let X be the number of failures of a testing instrument.

We know that the mean \mu = 0.018 failures per hour.

(a) To find the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift, you need to:

For an 8-hour shift, the mean is \mu=8\cdot 0.018=0.144

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-0.144}0.144^0}{0!}\\\\P(X=0) \approx 0.8659

(b) To find the probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day, you need to:

For a 24-hour day, the mean is \mu=24\cdot 0.018=0.432

P(X\geq 1 )=1-P(X=0)\\\\P(X\geq 1 )=1-\frac{e^{-0.432}0.432^0}{0!}\\\\P(X\geq 1 )\approx 0.3508
