Answer:
Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.
After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.
Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x
Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9
The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9
If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then

Answer:
a) 23.76%
b) 7.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.
loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)
hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%
b) probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13
probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12
now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%
