Answer:

240 min

Step-by-step explanation:

if we convert it to minutes, one pool is drained in 360 min, while using another pump requires 720 min. the problem requires them working together, so we need to find the amount of pool drained in a unit pace, being one minute. using the first pump, in 1 minute 1/360 of the pool is drained, and 1/720 for the second pump. We can add them together, thus gaining 3/720 of the pool drained in 1 minute if they are applied together. then, you calculate 720/3 to find out how many minutes it takes for the whole pool to be drained, and you get 240

Arada [10]

Answer:

A. No, the student is not right. The central limit theorem says nothing about the histogram of the sample values. It deals only with the distribution of the sample means.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the student is not right. The central limit theorem says nothing about the histogram of the sample values. It deals only with the distribution of the sample means. The central limit theorem says that if we take a large sample (i.e., a sample of size n > 30) of any distribution with finite mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, then, the sample average is approximately normally distributed  with mean \mu and variance \sigma^2/n.
