Answer:

Quincy read 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backwards. Samantha read three less books than Teresa (11-3=8). Ralph read half as many books as Samantha (8/2 = 4). Quincy read five more books than Ralph (4 + 5 = 9).

A school replaced 20% of it computers with new ones . what the total number of computers in the school if 55 computers were repl
sladkih [1.3K]
The total is 275 because 100% divided by 20% is 5 and if 20%= 55 then that means that 55 goes into 100% 5 times so you multiply 55 by 5 to get 275. Hope I helped! Please rate me as the brainliest!

The lifetime of a cheap light bulb is an exponential random variable with mean 36 hours. Suppose that 16 light bulbs are tested
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

P(T

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "The number of years a radio functions" and we know that the distribution is given by:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{16})

Or equivalently:

X \sim Exp(\mu=16)

Solution to the problem

For this case we are interested in the total T, and we can find the mean and deviation for this like this:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}=\frac{T}{n}

If we solve for T we got:

T= n\bar X

And the expected value is given by:

E(T) = n E(\bar X)= n \mu= 16*36=576

And we can find the variance like this:

Var(T) = Var(n\bar X)=n^2 Var(\bar X)= n^2 *\frac{\sigma^2}{n}=n \sigma^2

And then the deviation is given by:

Sd(T)= \sqrt{n} \sigma=\sqrt{16} *36=144

And the distribution for the total is:

T\sim N(n\mu, \sqrt{n}\sigma)

And we want to find this probability:

P(T< 600)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{T- \mu_T}{\sigma_T}

And replacing we got this:

P(T

A Candlestick burns at a rate of 0.2 inches per hour. After 8 straight hours of burning , the candlestick is 13.4 inches tall. W
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:the original height of the candle is 14.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A Candlestick burns at a rate of 0.2 inches per hour. It means that the height of the candle is decreasing by 2 inches per hour. This decrease is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

d = - 0.2 (it is decreasing)

n = 8

T8 = 13.4 inches

We want to determine the value of the first term, a. Therefore,

13.4 = a - 0.2(8 - 1)

13.4 = a - 1.4

a = 13.4 + 1.4 = 14.8 inches

Which is a solution to the equation? (x −2)(x + 5) = 18 x = −10 x = −7 x = −4 x = −2
Leona [35]

Answer:

Solutions:

x=-7

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-2)(x + 5) = 18

Expanding the factored form:

x^2+5x-2x-10=18

x^2+3x-28=0

Factoring the second-degree polynomial:

(x+7)(x-4)=0

This is true for

x=-7 \text{ or } x=4
