Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.

Answer:

amount of $8 tea = 35 lb

amount of $6 tea = 15 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of $8 tea

Then 50 - x =  amount of $6 tea

Total cost of $8 tea is = 8x

Total cost of $6 tea = 6(50 - x)

Total cost of $7.40 tea = 7.4(50)

Total cost of $8 tea + Total cost of $6 tea = Total cost of $7.40 tea

8x + 6(50 - x) = 7.4(50)

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x = 70

x = 35

50 - x = 15

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

A woman's weekly salary is increased from $350 to $380. The percent of increase is most nearly
Kay [80]

Find the amount of the difference and then divide it by the original amount:


380 - 350 = 30


30 / 350 = 0.0857 = 8.6% increase.  Round the answer as needed.

G(h)    h
12      3
8        5
4        7
0        9

Equation of the line:

slope = [12-0]/[3-9] = 12 / -6 = -2

g / [h - 9] = -2

g = -2(h-9)

g = -2h + 18

g = 18 -2h

Filling the tank ==> h = 0

g = 18 - 2(0) = 18

Answer: first option g = 18 -2 h; 18

Henri has $24,000 invested in stocks and bonds. The amount in stocks is $6,000 more than three times the amount in bonds. Call t
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The solve of that problem is that Hernry invested $18.000 in stocks and $6.000 in bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to explain you have to do a multiplication about 6 on three. Like three times more than bonds, the result is 18. Then you have to do a  subtraction on $24.000 less $18.000, and the result is $6.000, so six is the amount on bonds. And is three times less than stocks, like the questions ask.
