An electric pump can fill a 45-gallon tub in half an hour.At this rate, how long would it take to fill a 60-gallon tub?

1 answer:

8 0

You can cross multiply to find the answer. Start by setting up your equation:

45/30 = 60/x (30 represents half an hour)
Next, cross multiply, 45 times x, and 60 times 30:

45x = 1800 you must isolate the "x" value by using the opposite operation it is involved in. Here we have 45x (x is multiplied to 45) so we must divide 45, which will cancel itself out, leaving us with "x."

What you do on one side of the equation, you must do on the other, so divide 1800 by 45 as well, which will leave you with 40.

Working it out on paper, your equation should now look like this: x=40, which represents the amount of time it will take to fill a 60 gallon tube.

Answer: It will take 40 minutes to fill a 60 gallon tube.

Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (success/failure)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p)4. All trials are random and independent of the othersThe number of successes, x, is then given by $P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ where $C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$
Here we're given
p=0.10 [ success = defective ]
n=3

(a) x=0
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,0)0.1^0(1-0.1)^{3-0}$
$=1(1)(0.729)$
$=0.729$

(b) x=2
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)$
$=0.027$

(c) x ≥ 2
$P(x)=\sum_{x=2}^3C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=P(2)+P(3)$
$=C(n,2)p^2(1-p)^{n-2}+C(n,3)p^3(1-p)^{n-3}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}+C(3,3)0.1^3(1-0.1)^{3-3}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)+1(0.001)1$
$=0.027+0.001$
$=0.028$

Let A be an m x n matrix and let b be a vector in RM. Three of the following four statements are all equivalent to each other. C

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

If A = m × n matrix

where;

b is a vector in $R^m$

Then; the statement that doesn't fit and is not related to the other three from the given options is Option A.

This is because the statement in Option A appears to be inconsistent. For the model Ax=b to have a solution, A must be non-singular and b must be in A's column space.

Option c and d are equivalent, also option b and c are equivalent.
