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

marta [7]

Answer:

The main objective of a questionnaire is it should gather data that is pertinent to the study or research. However, the tool must be designed in a way that the respondents will be able to understand it, answer it fairly quickly, and it should be descriptive and specific. It should be unbiased and should not lead the answers of the respondents in the direction favorable only to the researcher.

A. Are you young, middle-aged or old?

This question is not descriptive enough because it is not well-defined in terms of the research. It is not clear or to the point because how will the respondent know based on their age what is young, middle-aged, or old?

An age range would be more appropriate, as it will prevent biases and is more definitive.

For example:    20>    20 - 29    30-39    40-49     50<

The age ranges should be dependent on the definition in the study.

B. Please select your favorite breakfast cereal from this list:

The problem with this question is that it limits the choices of the respondent, when it is asking what their favorite breakfast cereal is. The words "your favorite" indicates that the question seeks to find the preference of the respondent but it leads them to choosing only those provided by the researcher. It would be better if they added the option Others:________

If the study was limited to just those cereals, then it would have been better if it was phrased as:

Among the breakfast cereals listed below, which do you prefer?

C. How old are you?

Now notice the age ranges provided. For one, it is not spaced evenly and another there is a gap between 5 and 7, 10 and 12. If the respondent were 6 or 11 years of age, which box would they tick?

The ranges should be set like this:

0 - 5      6 - 11        12<

Another issue is the range starts out so young. A questionnaire would not be the best type of data gathering tool considering they most likely are not capable of reading or even writing.

D. Do you have any brothers?

In this case, the questions are redundant and repetitive when it is not necessary. If the respondent had 4 brothers, then they would have to say yes to all.  It would have been better if they just structured it like this:

How many brothers do you have?

0   1    2    3   4  Others: _______

All questions would have been answered in just a single question.

NOTE:

It is best to construct a detailed questionnaire but it should be to the point. A lengthy questionnaire is not also advisable as it may be too cumbersome for the respondent.

Find the maxima and minima of the function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%2Cy%29%3D2x%5E%7B2%7D%20%2By%5E%7B4%7D" id="T
NARA [144]

Using the second partial derivative test to find extrema in D :

Compute the partial derivatives of f(x, y) = 2x² + y⁴.

∂f/∂x = 4x

∂f/∂y = 4y³

Find the critical points of f, where both partial derivatives vanish.

4x = 0   ⇒   x = 0

4y³ = 0   ⇒   y = 0

So f has only one critical point at (0, 0), which does belong to the set D.

Compute the determinant of the Hessian matrix of f at (0, 0) :

H = \begin{bmatrix}\dfrac{\partial^2f}{\partial x^2} & \dfrac{\partial^2f}{\partial y\partial x} \\ \\ \dfrac{\partial^2f}{\partial x\partial y} & \dfrac{\partial^2f}{\partial y^2}\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}4 & 0 \\ 0 & 12y^2 \end{bmatrix}

We have det(H) = 48y² = 0 at the origin, which means the second partial derivative test fails. However, we observe that 2x² + y⁴ ≥ 0 for all x, y because the square of any real number cannot be negative, so (0, 0) must be a minimum and we have f(0, 0) = 0.

Using the second derivative test to find extrema on the boundary of D :

Let x = cos(t) and y = sin(t) with 0 ≤ t < 2π, so that (x, y) is a point on the circle x² + y² = 1. Then

f(cos(t), sin(t)) = g(t) = 2 cos²(t) + sin⁴(t)

is a function of a single variable t. Find its critical points, where the first derivative vanishes.

g'(t) = -4 cos(t) sin(t) + 4 sin³(t) cos(t) = 0

⇒   cos(t) sin(t) (1 - sin²(t)) = 0

⇒   cos³(t) sin(t) = 0

⇒   cos³(t) = 0   or   sin(t) = 0

⇒   cos(t) = 0   or   sin(t) = 0

⇒   [t = π/2   or   t = 3π/2]   or   [t = 0   or   t = π]

Check the values of g'' at each of these critical points. We can rewrite

g'(t) = -4 cos³(t) sin(t)

Then differentiating yields

g''(t) = 12 cos²(t) sin²(t) - 4 cos⁴(t)

g''(0) = 12 cos²(0) sin²(0) - 4 cos⁴(0) = -4

g''(π/2) = 12 cos²(π/2) sin²(π/2) - 4 cos⁴(π/2) = 0

g''(π) = 12 cos²(π) sin²(π) - 4 cos⁴(π) = -4

g''(3π/2) = 12 cos²(3π/2) sin²(3π/2) - 4 cos⁴(3π/2) = 0

Since g''(0) and g''(π) are both negative, the points (x, y) corresponding to t = 0 and t = π are maxima.

t = 0   ⇒   x = cos(0) = 1 and y = sin(0) = 0   ⇒   f(1, 0) = 2

t = π   ⇒   x = cos(π) = -1 and y = sin(π) = 0   ⇒   f(-1, 0) = 2

Both g''(π/2) and g''(3π/2) are zero, so the test fails. These values of t correspond to

t = π/2   ⇒   x = cos(π/2) = 0 and y = sin(π/2) = 1   ⇒   f(0, 1) = 1

t = 3π/2   ⇒   x = cos(3π/2) = 0 and y = sin(3π/2) = -1   ⇒   f(0, -1) = 1

but both of the values of f at these points are between the minimum we found at 0 and the maximum at 2.

So over the region D, max(f) = 2 at (±1, 0) and min(f) = 0 at (0, 0).

There are 10 colored balls in a box ( 5 red, 3 blue, 2 green ). What is the probability of picking out a red ball and then a blu
Ksenya-84 [330]

At the beginning you have 10 balls, 5 of which are red. So, the chance of picking a red ball with the first pick is

\dfrac{5}{10}=\dfrac{1}{2}

When it comes to the second pick, you have 9 balls (because you didn't replace the first red ball), 3 of which are blue. So, you pick a blue ball with the second pick with probability

\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{1}{3}

The two events will occur one after the other with the product of the probabilities:

\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{6}
