Answer:

It takes him hours to mow the third lawn

Explanation:

We are given that Evan takes hours to mow Mr. Gals lawn and hours to mow Mrs. Lee's lawn

This means that:

Time taken to mow the two lawns = hours

Now, we are given that the time taken to mow the three lawns is hours

This means that:

Time taken to mow the third lawn = hours

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

17%of 23000

17/100×23000

1 yrs depreciation is 3910

then

after 4 years depreciation is 4×3910

=15640

the worth of after 4 yrs is 23000-15640

=Rs 7360

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a) 0.1423

b) 0.2977

c) 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped for speeding, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have invalid licenses, or they do not. The probability of a driver having an invalid license is independent from other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

13 percent of the drivers stopped for speeding have invalid licenses.

This means that $p = 0.13$

14 drivers are stopped

This means that $n = 14$

(a) None will have an invalid license.

This is $P(X = 0)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.13)^{0}.(0.87)^{14} = 0.1423$

(b) Exactly one will have an invalid license.

This is $P(X = 1)$

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

$P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.13)^{1}.(0.87)^{13} = 0.2977$

(c) At least 2 will have invalid licenses.

Either less than 2 have invalid licenses, or at least 2 does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. Mathematically, this is

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 2)$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1423 + 0.2977 = 0.44$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.44 = 0.56$

Write and solve a system of equations for this question please

andre [41]

Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....

3(b-s)=27

b-s=9

b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....

2(b+s)=30

b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:

9+s+s=15

2s+9=15

2s=6

s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so

b=12

So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph
