Answer:

x = 15/17  , y = 11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = 1 - (2 x)/5 | (equation 1)

{y = 3 x - 2 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 1)

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 2)

Add 2/15 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(17 y)/15 = 11/15 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 15:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+17 y = 11 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 17:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-(3 x)+0 y = -45/17 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -3:

{x+0 y = 15/17 | (equation 1)

v0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 15/17  , y = 11/17

Two grandparents want to pick up the mess that their granddaughter had made in her playroom. One can do it in 15 minutes working
Crank

Answer:

  6 2/3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Their rates in "jobs per hour" are ...

  (60 min/h)/(15 min/job) = 4 jobs/h

and

  (60 min/h)/(12 min/job) = 5 jobs/h

So, their combined rate is ...

  (4 jobs/h) + (5 jobs/h) = 9 jobs/h

The time required (in minutes) is ...

  (60 min/h)/(9 jobs/h) = (60/9) min = 6 2/3 min

Working together, it will take them 6 2/3 minutes.

A variation on a familiar theme: A packet is received correctly by an end user with probability p. To increase the likelihood th
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) X can take the values {0,1,2,3,...,n}

The probability mass function of x is defined for k copies received correctly as:

P(X=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

b) N should be N=2 to ensure that with probability 0.99 at least one copy of the message is received.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X:number of copies received correctly by the end user can be modeled as a binomial variable, as it is a sum of n Bernoulli variables with probability p.

X can take the values {0,1,2,3,...,n}

The probability mass function of x is defined for k copies received correctly as:

P(X=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

being p: the probability that a packet is received correctly by an end user, and q=1-p: the probability that a packet is not received correctly by an end user.

b) We have to calculate n so as to have a probability P(x≥1)=0.99, when p=0.9.

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)=0.99\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{n}{0}p^0(1-p)^n=1*1*(1-p)^n=(1-0.9)^n=0.1^n\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.1^n=0.99\\\\0.1^n=1-0.99=0.01\\\\n\cdot ln(0.1)=ln(0.01)\\\\n=ln(0.01)/ln(0.1)=2
