Answer:

To drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 72,000 water tower is being drained, and in an hour 2000 gallons are drained.

Now, to calculate the hours it would take to drain total 72,000 gallons of water, we should divide the gallons of water drained in one hour by total gallons of water in the tower.

Gallons of total water in the tower ÷ Gallons of water drained per hour

72000\div 2000

=\ 36

Therefore, to drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

The typical college freshman spends an average of μ=150 minutes per day, with a standard deviation of σ=50 minutes, on social me
Rashid [163]

Answer: The proportion of students spending at least 2 hours on social media equals 0.7257 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The typical college freshman spends an average of μ=150 minutes per day, with a standard deviation of σ=50 minutes, on social media.

The distribution of time on social media is known to be Normal.

Let x be the number of minutes spent on social media.

Then, the probability that students spending at least 2 hours (2 hours = 120 minutes as 1 hour = 60 minutes) on social media would be:

P(x\geq120)=1-P(x

Hence, the proportion of students spending at least 2 hours on social media equals 0.7257 .
