Answer:

16.3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ha = 10,000 m^2

The total capacity of the landfill is:

C = 16.2*10,000*10 = 1,620,000\ m^3

If waste is compacted to twice its delivered density, its volume is half of the delivered volume. Assuming that a year has 52 weeks, the volume of compacted solid waste dumped per year is:

V=52*(5*0.5*765)\\V=99,450\ m^3

The expected life of the landfill is given by its capacity divided by the yearly volume:

L=\frac{C}{V}=\frac{1,620,000}{99,450} \\L=16,3\ years

The landfill has an expected life of 16.3 years.

goldfiish [28.3K]
I got corrected by mreijepatmat, and this is what they said: "Let x be this number so (x+5)(x-5) =75 ===> x^2 -25 = 75 ===> x^2 =100 & x = 10."

I hope this answer helped you! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! :)

Suppose there is no outcome common to all three of the events A, B, and C.
mina [271]

Answer:

Yes, the event are mutually exclusive...

Step-by-step explanation:

Event are mutually exclusive if those event cannot occur at the same time. That is the definition of mutually exclusive for instance in a football match, a certain team canot score 0 and 2goals in a match, it is either he scored 2goals or zero goals... In a throw of a coin we cannot have head and tail at the same time, it is either we have a head or a tail, all the event are mutually exclusive.

Now if we have a dealer selling blue car and two doors car. Let say 20% are blue and 10% have two doors. Then, this are not mutually exclusive because we can have a car that is blue and have two doors.

Mutually exclusive events are like disjoint set in SET theory, where A intersection B intersection C is equal to empty set.

Where A n B n C= {} empty set
