What is a = 1/2 (b-c) if b is the subject
natulia [17]

Answer:

b = 2a + c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \frac{1}{2} (b - c)

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2a = b - c ( add c to both sides )

2a + c = b

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen
noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that 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 combinatios 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:

n = 5, p = 0.93

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is P(X \geq 1)

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807

Finally

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

The Frosty Ice-Cream Shop sells sundaes for $2 and banana splits for $3. On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than
svlad2 [7]

The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold

Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold

Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2

Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3

<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>

Therefore,

Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold

a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>

<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:

Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156

a \times 2+b \times 3 = 156

2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>

2(8 + b) + 3b = 156

16 + 2b + 3b = 156

16 + 5b = 156

5b = 156 - 16

5b = 140

<h3>b = 28</h3>

<em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>

a = 8 + 28

<h3>a = 36</h3>

Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
