in the college?

Andrews [41]2 years ago

Answer:

3000 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If 48% of the students are female, and there are 1440 female students, we can set up a percentage proportion, assuming x is the total amount of students.

\frac{1440}{x} = \frac{48}{100}

We can use the cross products property to find the value of x.

1440\cdot100=144000\\\\144000\div48=3000

Hope this helped!

Wesley and brian have a total of 87 baseball cards. Wesley have 30 less than twice as many cards as brian. How many baseball car
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Brian has 39 cards and Wesley has 48 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the number of cards Wesley has

and

b be the number of cards Brian has

Then

w+b = 87\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\w = 2b-30\ \ \ Eqn\ 2

Putting w = 2b-30 in equation 1

2b-30+b = 87\\3b = 87+30\\3b = 117

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3b}{3} = \frac{117}{3}\\b = 39

Putting b=39 in equation 2

w = 2(39)-30\\w = 78-30\\w = 48

Hence,

Brian has 39 cards and Wesley has 48 cards

The​ life, in​ years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44. If 100 o
Bond [772]

Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.

If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by

\bf P(X

So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is

\bf P(X

Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.

Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and  

\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}

where  

\bf \binom{100}{k} equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.

The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is

\bf \sum_{k=0}^{15}\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}=0.9999
