Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...

6t = 144 * \frac{1}{3} .... first multiply the right side of the equation

6t = 48   ... next divide both sides by 6

t = 8

Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.

Question in the link below.
olga_2 [115]
The 5x  and the combination of (40° + x) are "vertical angles".
Vertical angles are equal.
So
                                             5x = 40° + x

Subtract 'x' from each side:      4x = 40°

Divide each side by  4 :            x =  ?

About 1/4 of all adults in the United States have type O+ blood. If three randomly selected adults donate blood, find the probab
valina [46]

Answer:

a) 0.0156

b) 0.4219

c) 0.1406

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult having type O+ blood as a success.

P(Adult have type O+ blood) = 0.25

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 3

a) All three are type O+

P(x =3)\\= \binom{3}{3}(0.25)^3(1-0.25)^0\\= 0.0156

b) None of them is type O+

P(x =0)\\= \binom{3}{0}(0.25)^0(1-0.25)^3\\= 0.4219

c) Two out of the three are type O

P(x =2)\\= \binom{3}{2}(0.25)^2(1-0.25)^1\\= 0.1406
