Answer:

It'll take 7 hours for the car B to cath up to A

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we can write the equation from the distance of each car. Assuming that t = 0 happens when the second car leaves Toronto. When the second car leaves Toronto, the first one is on the road for two hours already, thefeore it travelled a total of:

distance = speed*time = 70*2 = 140

We have:

Car A:

x(t) = 70*t + 140

Car B:

x(t) = 90*t

We now need to find the value of "t" that makes x(t) the same for both cars:

90*t = 70*t + 140

20*t = 140

t = 140 / 20 = 7 h

A box has five items, three good and two defective. three items are selected at random without replacement. let x be the number
user100 [1]
This problem can be solved from first principles, case by case.  However, it can be solved systematically using the hypergeometric distribution, based on the characteristics of the problem:
- known number of defective and non-defective items.
- no replacement
- known number of items selected.

Let
a=number of defective items selected
A=total number of defective items
b=number of non-defective items selected
B=total number of non-defective items
Then 
P(a,b)=C(A,a)C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)
where 
C(n,r)=combination of r items selected from n,
A+B=total number of items
a+b=number of items selected

Given:
A=2
B=3
a+b=3
PMF:
P(0,3)=C(2,0)C(3,3)/C(5,3)=1*1/10=1/10
P(1,2)=C(2,1)C(3,2)/C(5,3)=2*3/10=6/10
P(2,0)=C(2,2)C(3,1)/C(5,3)=1*3/10=3/10
Check: (1+6+3)/10=1 ok
note: there are only two defectives, so the possible values of x are {0,1,2}

Therefore the 
PMF:
{(0, 0.1),(1, 0.6),(2, 0.3)}

ms rivera went to the store and spent $10.00 on apples. apples are on sale for $2.00 per pound. how many pounds did ms rivera bu
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

She bought 5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

if she spent 10 dollars and its 2 dollars per pound that means that you have to divide 10 by 2 in order to get how many pounds you can buy for 10 dollars.

If you think about it if you want 2 pounds then you multiply 2 by 2 to get four because its 2 dollars per pound and you need 2 pounds. so since you don't know the number of pounds you fill in the blanks and do 10/2 to get 5.
