Answer:

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.

The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.

You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.

8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t

Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).

80 - 7t = 60 - 2t

-5t = -20

t = 4

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

The vertices of rhombus defg are d(1, 4), e(4, 0), f(1, –4), and g(–2, 0). what is the perimeter of the rhombus?
Harman [31]

Answer: 20 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Here the vertices of the rhombus defg are d(1, 4), e(4, 0), f(1, –4), and g(–2, 0).

Where, de, ef, fg, gd are sides of the rhombus defg.

By the distance formula,

de = \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(0-4)^2}

=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}

=\sqrt{9+16}

=\sqrt{25}

= 5

Thus, the side of rhombus = 5

By the property of rhombus,

de =  ef = fg = gd = 5 unit.

Thus, the perimeter of the given rhombus defg = de +  ef + fg + gd = 5+5+5+5 = 20 unit

There are 500 employees in a firm, 45% are female. a sample of 60 employees is selected randomly. the probability that the sampl
beks73 [17]

Let X be the number of female employee. Let n be the sample size, p be the probability that selected employee is female.

It is given that 45% employee are female it mean p=0.45

Sample size n=60

From given information X follows Binomial distribution with n=50 and p=0.45

For large value of n the Binomial distribution approximates to Normal distribution.

Let p be the proportion of female employee in the given sample.

Then distribution of proportion P is normal with parameters

mean =p and standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Here we have p=0.45

So mean = p = 0.45 and

standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{60}}

standard deviation = 0.0642

Now probability that sample proportions of female lies between 0.40 and 0.55 is

P(0.40 < P < 0.45) = P(\frac{0.40 - 0.45}{0.0642}  < \frac{P-mean}{standard deviation}  < \frac{0.55- 0.45}{0.0642} )

= P(-0.7788 < Z < 1.5576)

= P(Z < 1.5576) - P(Z < -0.7788)

= P(Z < 1.56) - P(Z < -0.78)

= 0.9406 - 0.2177

= 0.7229

The probability that the sample proportion of females is between 0.40 and 0.55 is 0.7229

In a meeting, there are five presenters: Lily, Catherine, Ted, Edward, and Bianca. Bianca must present after Edward but not imme
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Lily would present after Edward

Step-by-step explanation:

Catherine must present after Ted. Therefore we have Ted, Catherine.

There must be one presenter between Bianca and Catherine, therefore we have: Bianca, x, Catherine. x is the name of the presenter between  Bianca and Catherine. Since Ted presents immediately before Catherine, x = Ted. This means we have Bianca, Ted, Catherine.

There must be at least two other people must present after Edward and before Ted. This means we have Edward, y, Bianca, Ted, Catherine. y is the name of the presenter between Edward and Bianca.. Since we have only five presenters, the only presenter remaining is Lily.

Therefore the presenters are arranged as:

Edward, Lily, Bianca, Ted, Catherine.

Lily is the second to present. Lily would present immediately after Edward and before Bianca

In which triangle is the value of x equal to tan−1(StartFraction 3.1 Over 5.2 EndFraction)? (Images may not be drawn to scale.)
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The angle opposite to side with length 3.1 is x

The triangle in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle the tangent of an angle x is equal to divide the opposite side to angle x by the adjacent side to angle x

In this problem we have

x=tan^{-1}(\frac{3.1}{5.2})

therefore

opposite side to angle x is 3.1 units

adjacent side to angle x is 5.2 units

The angle opposite to side with length 3.1 is x

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
