Answer:

85 parking spaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Parking spaces on floors :

Let first floor = x

Second floor = 2x

Third floor = 2x + 3

Total parking spaces = 428

THEREFORE ;

x + 2x + 2x + 3 = 428

5x + 3 = 428

5x = 428 - 3

5x = 425

x = 425 / 5

x = 85

Hence, there are 85 parking spaces on the first floor

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The number of viewers Network A expects will watch their show is 1.4 million viewers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is calculated by multiplying the possible outcomes by the probability of their occurrence and adding the results

Therefore, we have the expected value given by the following expression;

Estimated network A viewers  where network B schedule top show = 1.1 million viewers

Estimated network A viewers where network B schedule a different show = 1.6 million viewers

Probability that Network B will air its top show = 0.4

Probability that Network B will air another show = 0.6

We therefore have;

Expected value, E of Network A viewers is therefore;

E = 1.1 × 0.4 + 1.6 × 0.6 =  0.44 + 0.96 = 1.4 million viewers.

Network A expects 1.4 million viewers will watch their show.

A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Step-by-step explanation:

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors

number of non-upgraded sensors for each module (nus)

total number of upgraded sensors on the satellite (tus)

satellite is composed of 30 modular units

total number of non-upgraded sensors on the satellite (tnus):

tnus=30*nus

total number of sensors on the satellite (ts):

ts=tnus+tus = 30*nus + tus (I)

The number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite

nus=(1/5)*tus

tus = 5 * nus (II)

Fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded (FU):

FU = tus/ts

Using I and II

FU= (5* nus)/(30*nus + tus)

FU = (5* nus)/(30*nus + 5 * nus)

FU = (5* nus)/(35*nus)

FU = 1/7

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded
