Answer:

Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3 years their ages will add up to 71 so you have to subtract 6 as there are two of them to get 65. Lacy's age is represented by x and since Jack is 4 times older his age is represented by 4x. So added together their age is 5x. So 5x=65. Then 65/5=13. So 13=x. So Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52 as 13x4 is 52.

Adrian jogs 3\4 mile each morning.How many days will it take him to jog 3 miles? Plz help

zubka84 [21]

It would take Adrian 4 days, if you add 3/4 four times all together you will end up with 12/4. Then you have to simplify it, getting the answer 3. Hope this helped! :)

If jobs arrive every 15 seconds on average, what is the probability of waiting more than 30 seconds?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : $\lambda=15\text{ per seconds}$

In minutes , Mean : $\lambda=4\text{ per minute}$

The exponential distribution function with parameter $\lambda$ is given by :-

$f(t)=\lambda e^{-\lambda t}, \text{ for }x\geq0$

The probability of waiting more than 30 seconds i.e. 0.5 minutes is given by the exponential function :-

$P(X\geq0.5)=1-P(X\leq0.5)\\\\=1-\int^{0.5}_{0}4e^{-4t}dt\\\\=1-[-e^{-4t}]^{0.5}_{0}\\\\=1-(1-e^{-2})=1-0.86=0.14$

Hence, the probability of waiting more than 30 seconds = 0.14

Answer:

94.88 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the prism = Area of base * Height

$= 5( \frac{1}{2} \times 2.75 \times 4) \times 3.45 \\ \\ = 5 \times 2.75 \times 2 \times 3.45 \\ \\ = 10\times 2.75 \times 3.45 \\ \\ = 94.875 \\ \\ \approx 94.88 \: cubic \: units$
