Answer:

It takes 2.5 minutes to fill the tank.

Explanation:

The net speed or net rate for filling the 10-liters tank is equal to the speed the tap is filling less the speed the water is leaking through the hole located at the bottom of the tank:

Net rate = rate of filling - rate of leaking

Net rate = 5 liters/minute - 1 liter/minute

Net rate = 4 liters/minute

Thus, consiedering the tank is empty at the beginning, the time is:

Time = Volume of the tank / net rate of filling

Time = 10 liters / (4liters/minute)

Time = 2.5 minutes ← answer

Voltage sags and swells. Refer to the Electrical Engineering (Vol. 95, 2013) study of transformer voltage sags and swells, Exerc

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a. z-score for the number of sags for this transformer is ≈ 1.57 . The number of sags found in this transformer is within the highest 6% of the number of sags found in the transformers.

b. z-score for the number of swells for this transformer is ≈ -3.36. The number of swells found in the transformer is extremely low and within the lowest 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

z score of sags and swells of a randomly selected transformer can be calculated using the equation

z= $\frac{X-M}{s}$ where

X is the number of sags/swells found

M is the mean number of sags/swells

s is the standard deviation

z-score for the number of sags for this transformer is:

z= $\frac{400-353}{30}$ ≈ 1.57

the number of sags found in the transformer is within the highest 6% of the number of sags found in the transformers.

z-score for the number of swells for this transformer is:

z= $\frac{100-184}{25}$ ≈ -3.36

the number of swells found in the transformer is extremely low and within the lowest 1%
