Answer:

The watch is cheaper in Geneva, Switzerland by a value of £20

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the city in which the watch is cheaper, what we need to do is to express the price of the watch in the same currency.

Since pounds is also used in the b part of the question, it would be easier working with it.

In Geneva, the price of the watch is 193.75 CHF

from our conversion formula;

£1 = 1.55 CHF

£x = 193.75 CHF

We cross multiply to get the value of x

(193.75 * 1)/1.55

= 193.75/1.55 = £125

We can see that the watch costs less in Geneva and higher in Manchester

By how much is it cheaper?

We can calculate this by subtracting the value in Geneva from the value in Manchester

That would be 145-125 = £20 cheaper

One of the byproducts of nuclear power generation is Uranium-233. Uranium is decaying at a constant 57% rate per day. If 3,820 p
yanalaym [24]
Given that the decay rate of the uranium is given to be 57%, this means that on the second day only 43% of the Uranium-233 will be left. The equation therefore, that will allow us to answer the question is that,
                                   A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^n
where A(t) is the amount after n days, A(0) is the original amount, r is the decimal equivalent of the rate and n is the number of days. Substituting the known values,
                                  A(t) = (3,820 pounds)*(1-0.57)^15
                                   A(t) = 0.0121 pounds
This is unfortunately not found in the choices.

Which part of the proof does the fourth statement and reason represent?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Reason:It is an argument

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB \cong BC  and BC \cong EF

By transitive property:  a = b  and b = c then, a =c

⇒AB \cong EF

AB = EF                                [def of \cong segment]

By Segment Addition Postulate states that given  two points A and C, and a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the  points satisfy the equation

AB + BC = AC.

Since, the line segment EG , F lies on the line segment;

then, by segment addition postulates we have;

EG = EF + FG

By substitution AB=EF

⇒ EG = AB + FG                     hence proved!

Since, in the fourth statement reason is:  It is an argument

Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including travel time, is exponentially distributed,
seropon [69]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Mean = 1.1 hours per call =

R = Mean rate = 1.6 per eight hour day

\mu = \frac{8}{1.6} = 5 per day

Based on the above information

a. The average number of customers is

= \frac{R^2}{\mu(\mu- R)}

= \frac{1.6^2}{5(5- 1.6)}

= 151

b. The system utilization is

= \frac{R}{\mu}

= \frac{1.6}{5}

= 0.32

c. The amount of time required is

= 1 - system utilization

= 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

And, there is 8 hours per day

So, it would be

= 0.68 \times 8

= 5.44 hours

d. Now the probability of two or more customers is

= 1 - (0.68 + 0.68 \times 0.32)

= 0.1024

Therefore we simply applied the above formulas
