Let the two numbers are x and y

Let larger number = x

and smaller number = y

it means

x-y = 0.77

Now it says larger number is increased 5 times

So it now becomes 5x

So second equation becomes

5x -y =77

Now we have to solve these two equations

x-y = 0.77 and 5x-y = 77

multiply first equation by -1 and then add both equations

-x+y = -0.77

Now on adding we get

-x+5x +y -y = 77-0.77

4x = 76.23

Divide both sides by 4

x=19.0575

We get the larger number , now subtract 0.77 from this , we will get the smaller number

y=19.0575-0.77=18.2875

y=18.2875


Hence the larger number = 19.0575

Smaller number = 18.2875

The two cylinders are similar. If the ratio of their surface areas is 9/1.44, find the volume of each cylinder. Round your answe
WITCHER [35]
R1² π : r2² π = 9 : 1.44
r1 : r 2 = 3 : 1.2
r2 = 1.2 · r1  / 3
r 2 = 0.4 · r1
If the two cylinders are similar than also: h 2 = 0.4 · h 2
V 1 = r1²   · π  · h1
V 2 = ( 0.4 r1)² π · 0.4 · h1 = 0.064 r1² · π · h1
V 2 ( small cylinder )= 0.064 · V 1 ( large cylinder )

Certify Completion Icon Tries remaining:2 A town recently dismissed 10 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions. T
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees are removed from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

7 + 18 = 25 employees, which means that N = 25

7 over 50, which means that k = 7

10 dismissed, which means that n = 10

What is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50?

This is P(X = 5). So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 5) = h(5,25,10,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{18,5}}{C_{25,10}} = 0.055

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.
