Two pumps connected in parallel fail independently of one another on any given day. The probability that only the older pump wil

l fail is .10, and the probability that only the newer pump will fail is .05. What is the probability that the pump- ing system will fail on any given day (which happens if both pumps fail)?

Answer : Probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day = 0.005

Explanation:

Probability that only older pump fail = P(A) = 0.10

Probability that only newer pump fail = P(B) = 0.05

Since they are independent events ,

then the conditions will be

P(A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

             = 0.10 ×0.05

             =  0.005

Hence, the probability will fail on any given day = 0.005

The initial temperature of a cup of tea is 200ºF. The surrounding temperature is 70ºF, and the value of the constant k is 0.6.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Newton's Law of Cooling states that the change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the ambient temperature over time.

Therefore when expressed mathematically, this is equivalent to:

dT = - k (T – Ts) dt

dT / (T – Ts) = - k dt

Integrating:

ln [(T2– Ts) / (T1– Ts)] = - k (t2 – t1)

Before we plug in the values, let us first convert the temperatures into absolute values R (rankine) by adding 460.

R = ˚F + 460

T1 = 200 + 460 = 660 R

Ts = 70 + 460 = 530 R

ln [(T2– 530) / (660 – 530)] = - 0.6 (2 - 0)

T2 = 569.16 R

T2 = 109 ºF

Answer: After 2 hours, it will be 109 ºF

Maggie bought 3/4 of a pound of bananas and 4 boxes of cereal for $10.11. If each box of cereal cost $2.40, what was the price o
beks73 [17]
If you had 4 boxes of cereal and each costs $2.40, the total cost would be $9.60 (2.40×4).

The total cost of the bananas and the cereal cost $10.11. To find how much the 3/4 of bananas cost, simply subtract $9.60 away from $10.11 (10.11-9.6), which gives you $0.51.

The question asks for 1 pound of bananas but you only have the cost of 3/4. So, divide your cost by 3 to give you the cost of 1/4. (0.51÷3), which gives you $0.17.

The last step is to multiply this answer by 4 because 4/4 will result in a whole, or in this case, one pound (0.17×4) and thus gives you the cost $0.68 for one pound of bananas.

(please correct me if I'm wrong, hope this helped c: )

In an athletics team, tall members are three times more likely to win a medal than short members. this year the team has won 60
nirvana33 [79]
Well lets say y = the amount of medals won. lets say x is the amount won by short people and z is the amount won by tall. we know that the total medals is the total medals won by short and tall so:
y = x + z

it says that tall people are 3.times more likely. this would mean they won three times more than short people. so
z = 3x.

so if we know what z equals, we can replace z with what it is equal to. so:
y = x + z
y = x + 3x
y = 4x

we know that 60 medals were won so
y = 4x
60 = 4x
x = 15

that is the amount won by short people

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from t
Over [174]

Answer:

1) a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If the multiple of one column of a matrix A is added to another to form matrix B then we get: |A| = |B|. Here, the value of the determinant does not change. The correct option is A

a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) Two matrices can be column-equivalent when one matrix is changed to the other using a sequence of elementary column operations. Correc option is d.

d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.
