Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.

let the individual saving be the first letters of the names

Jada= J

Lin= L

Elena= E

1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin

    J=L-20

2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena

   L= 3E

3. Hence Elena saved

   E

Together they saved $120.

hence

(L-20)+3E+E= 120

L-20+3E+E= 120

collecting like terms we hav

L+4E=120+20

L+4E= 140

but we know that L= 3E

3E+4E= 140

7E= 140

divide both sides by 7 we have

E= 140/7

E= $20

This means Elena saves $70

also  L= 3E

L= 3*20

L= $60

this means that Lean saved $60

also  J=L-20

J= 60-20

J= $40

This means that Jada saved $40

Predict the products of the double replacement reactions given. Check to see that the equations are
Snowcat [4.5K]

The balanced equation for the given reaction \mathbf{AgNO_3+NaCl \to AgCl_{(s)} + NaNO_3}

<h3>What is a double replacement reaction?</h3>

A double replacement is a chemical reaction that takes place in which two reactants swap cations or anions to produce two distinct products.

Whenever the cations representing one of the reactants interact with the anions from another reactant to produce an insoluble ionic compound, a precipitate occurs.

The balanced equation for the given reaction:

\mathbf{AgNO_3+NaCl \to AgCl_{(s)} + NaNO_3}

The exponential distribution applies to lifetimes of a certain component. Its failure rate is unknown. Find the probability that
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) 0.0821

b) 0.0111

c) 0.0041

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}

In which \lambda is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}

Either it lasts more 5 years or less, or it survives more than 5 years. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X \leq 5) + P(X > 5) = 1

In all 3 cases, we want P(X > 5). So

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5)

In which

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5\lambda}

(a) lambda=.5

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5*0.5} = 0.9179

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9179 = 0.0821

(b) lambda=0.9

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5*0.9} = 0.9889

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9889 = 0.0111

(c) lambda=1.1

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5*1.1} = 0.9959

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9959 = 0.0041
