Make an equation.
Also, convert 3 weeks into days ⇒ 3 · 7 = 21 days.

x + 2x + 4x = 21

x is Jared.
2x is Max (because half of 4 is 2).
4x is Wesley.

Now solve the equation.

7x = 21
x = 3

Jared = x
Max = 2x
Wesley = 4x

Jared = 3 days
Max = 2(3) = 6 days
Wesley = 4(3) = 12 days

The hourly median power (in decibels) of received radio signals transmitted between two cities
trasher [3.6K]

Using the lognormal and the binomial distributions, it is found that:

  • The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.
  • There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.
  • There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

In a <em>lognormal </em>distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{\ln{X} - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 3.5.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = \sqrt{1.22}

Question 1:

The 90th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, hence <u>X when Z = 1.28.</u>

Z = \frac{\ln{X} - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{\ln{X} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

\ln{X} - 3.5 = 1.28\sqrt{1.22}

\ln{X} = 1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5

e^{\ln{X}} = e^{1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5}

X = 136

The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.

Question 2:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 150</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{\ln{X} - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{\ln{150} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

Z = 1.37

Z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147.

There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.

Question 3:

10 signals, hence, the binomial distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, we have that p = 0.9147, n = 10, and we want to find P(X = 6), then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.9147)^{6}.(0.0853)^{4} = 0.0065

There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

A jar containing only dimes and quarters contains a total of 54 coins. The value of all the coins in the jar is $9.15. Solve by
Paladinen [302]

Answer: the jar contains 29 dimes and 25 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

10/100 = $0.1

The worth of a quarters is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes contained in the jar.

Let y represent the number of quarters contained in the jar.

A jar containing only dimes and quarters contains a total of 54 coins.. This means that

x + y = 54

The value of all the coins in the jar is $9.15. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 9.15 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 54 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1(54 - y) + 0.25y = 9.15

5.4 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 9.15

- 0.1y + 0.25y = 9.15 - 5.4

0.15y = 3.75

y = 3.75/0.15 = 25

x = 54 - y = 54 - 25

x = 29

What is the decimal equivalent of an 11% increase
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

You would convert the percentage to a fraction. Since the % symbol means 'out of 100', you would put 11 over 100: 11/100.

Then you would convert the fraction to a decimal: 0.11.

An easier way could also be to take the percentage and move it two decimal places to the right.

Ex: 43% moved two decimal places to the right would be 0.43.

I hope this helps!
