Answer: 25 lawns will be mowed in 40hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: we turn the word problem into an equation:
From the information given;
5 lawns = 8 hours
X lawns = 40 hours
We cross multiply:
8x = 40 x 5
8x = 200
Divide both sides by 8
x = 200/8
= 25
Answer:
There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each recommendation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a success, or it was a failure. 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.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:

If the claim is correct and the performance of recommendations is independent, what is the probability that you would have observed 4 or fewer successful:
This is

In which







There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.
Let X = number of minutes.
Plan A = 50 + 0.04X
Plan B = 60 + 0.02X
50 + 0.04X = 60 + 0.02X
Subtract 50 from each side:
0.04X = 10 + 0.02X
Subtract 0.02X from each side:
0.02X = 10
Divide both sides by 0.02
X = 10 / 0.02
X = 500
It will take 500 minutes.
