Rick and Casey are buying fish at the local market for their restaurants. Rick buys 5 brook trout for x dollars each and 2 rainb

ow trout
for y dollars each and pays $160 for the fish. Casey buys 3 brook trout for x dollars each and 4 rainbow trout for y dollars each and
pays $194 for the fish. The system of equations shown below represents this situation.
52 + 2y = 160
33 + 4y = 194

The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between −40°C and 140°C. To covert Celsius temperature to
sergejj [24]

Answer:

-40 < t < 284

Step-by-step explanation:

The antifreeze protects the car between −40°C and 140°C.

Using t for temperature, the compound inequality of the Celsius temperature range is:

-40 < t < 140

The conversion formula is given to find degrees C in given degrees F. We can solve the formula for F, so we get degrees F in terms of degrees C.

C = (5/9)(F - 32)     <------ <em>conversion formula from deg F to deg C</em>

Solve for F:

(9/5)C = F - 32

(9/5)C + 32 = F

F = (9/5)C + 32    <------ <em>conversion formula from deg C to deg F</em>

Now we convert -40 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(-40) + 32

F = -72 + 32

F = -40

-40 deg C = -40 deg F

(This is not a mistake or a typo. -40 deg C really is the same as -40 deg F.)

Now we convert 140 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(140) + 32

F = 252 + 32

F = 284

140 deg C = 284 deg F

Now we rewrite the compound inequality with Fahrenheit temperatures.

-40 < t < 284

What percent of 55 is 34
mihalych1998 [28]
So,

To what percent 34 is of 55, we first need to find the fraction equivalent.

34 out of 55 parts or 34/55

Divide 34 by 55.

34/55 = 0.61818...

Now, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right in order to convert it to a percent.

6.1818...
61.81818...

Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 61.82%
Rounded to the nearest tenth: 61.8%
Rounded to the nearest percent: 62%

The article "Expectation Analysis of the Probability of Failure for Water Supply Pipes"† proposed using the Poisson distribution
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

a. P(X ≤ 5) = 0.999

b. P(X > λ+λ) = P(X > 2) = 0.080

Step-by-step explanation:

We model this randome variable with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=1.

We have to calculate, using this distribution, P(X ≤ 5).

The probability of k pipeline failures can be calculated with the following equation:

P(k)=\lambda^{k} \cdot e^{-\lambda}/k!=1^{k} \cdot e^{-1}/k!=e^{-1}/k!

Then, we can calculate P(X ≤ 5) as:

P(X\leq5)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(4)+P(5)\\\\\\P(0)=1^{0} \cdot e^{-1}/0!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(1)=1^{1} \cdot e^{-1}/1!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(2)=1^{2} \cdot e^{-1}/2!=1*0.3679/2=0.184\\\\P(3)=1^{3} \cdot e^{-1}/3!=1*0.3679/6=0.061\\\\P(4)=1^{4} \cdot e^{-1}/4!=1*0.3679/24=0.015\\\\P(5)=1^{5} \cdot e^{-1}/5!=1*0.3679/120=0.003\\\\\\P(X\leq5)=0.368+0.368+0.184+0.061+0.015+0.003=0.999

The standard deviation of the Poisson deistribution is equal to its parameter λ=1, so the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation (X>1+1=2) can be calculated as:

P(X>2)=1-(P(0)+P(1)+P(2))\\\\\\P(0)=1^{0} \cdot e^{-1}/0!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(1)=1^{1} \cdot e^{-1}/1!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(2)=1^{2} \cdot e^{-1}/2!=1*0.3679/2=0.184\\\\\\P(X>2)=1-(0.368+0.368+0.184)=1-0.920=0.080

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water. If the market sells a bottle of water for $2, find the original amount
lakkis [162]

Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.

Let us say original price was $x.

Now price after markup is $2.

So we can make an equation like:

original price + markup price = price after markup

x + 60% of x =2

x + 0.6x =2

1.6x =2

dividing both sides by 1.6

x= 1.25

So original price was 1.25 dollars.
