If all three coloured lights blink together at 8:49 pm, they will blink together at 8:50 pm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the red light blinks at intervals of 4 seconds, the green at 5 seconds and the white at 6 seconds.

If all three colored lights blink together at 8:49 pm,

We have to find when will they blink together again?

First let us know, at what intervals they all together blink.

For that we have to find the lcm of 4, 5, 6.

L.C.M (4, 5, 6) = 2 x L.C.M(2, 5, 3)

As 2,3,5 are primes, we can’t take common further, so multiply all  

= 2 x 2 x 5 x 3

= 4 x 15  = 60

So, after every 60 seconds = 1 minute they will blink.

Then, after 8 : 49 pm, they will blink at 8 : 49 + 1 = 8 : 50 pm.

Hence, they all blink at 8 : 50 pm.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

\mu = 14.5\\

\sigma = 5.071\\

k = 1.084

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a  statistician uses Chebyshev's Theorem to estimate that at least 15 % of a population lies between the values 9 and 20.

i.e. his findings with respect to probability are

P(9

Recall Chebyshev's inequality that

P(|X-\mu |\geq k\sigma )\leq {\frac {1}{k^{2}}}\\P(|X-\mu |\leq k\sigma )\geq 1-{\frac {1}{k^{2}}}\\

Comparing with the Ii equation which is appropriate here we find that

\mu =14.5

Next what we find is

k\sigma = 5.5\\1-\frac{1}{k^2} =0.15\\\frac{1}{k^2}=0.85\\k=1.084\\1.084 (\sigma) = 5.5\\\sigma = 5.071

Thus from the given information we find that

\mu = 14.5\\\sigma = 5.071\\k = 1.084

Easy question i will mark braineliest
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

<h2>0.67</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5(y - 3.8) = 4.7(y - 4)

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

5y - 19 = 4.7(y - 4)

Distribute 4.7 through the parentheses

5y - 19 = 4.7y - 18.8

Move ' 4.7 y ' to L.H.S and change it's sign

5y - 4.7y - 19 =  - 18.8

Move constant to R.H.S and change it's sign

5y - 4.7y =  - 18.8 + 19

Collect like terms

0.3y =  - 18.8 + 19

Calculate

0.3y = 0.2

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.3

\frac{0.3y}{0.3}  =  \frac{0.2}{0.3}

Calculate

y = 0.67

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!
