Answer:  14 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

A bucket contains 11 2/3 gallons of water and 5/6 full

to fill the bucket will be 6/6 0r 1 full and contain ? gallons

using proportion

1 / (5/6) * 11 2/3 gallons of water

6/5 * 1 * 11 2/3 = 14 gallons of water

Answer:

14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If 11 2/3 gallons represents 5/6 full bucket then we can equate that

x=1 full

x=\frac {11 2/3}{5/6}=14

Therefore, the bucket requires 14 gallons

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

What is the binomial expansion of (x + 2)4? x4 + 4x3 + 6x2 + 4x + 1 8x3 + 24x2 + 32x x4 + 8x3 + 24x2 + 32x + 16 2x4 + 8x3 + 12x2
Margaret [11]

<u>Answer-</u>

\boxed{\boxed{(x+2)^4=x^4+8x^3+24x^2+32x+16}}

<u>Solution-</u>

Given expression is (x+2)^4

Applying Binomial Theorem

\left(a+b\right)^n=\sum _{i=0}^n\binom{n}{i}a^{\left(n-i\right)}b^i

Here,

a = x, b = 2 and n = 4

So,

\left(x+2\right)^4=\sum _{i=0}^4\binom{4}{i}x^{\left(4-i\right)}\cdot \:2^i

Expanding the summation

=\dfrac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}x^4\cdot \:2^0+\dfrac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}x^3\cdot \:2^1+\dfrac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}x^2\cdot \:2^2+\dfrac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}x^1\cdot \:2^3+\dfrac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}x^0\cdot \:2^4

=\dfrac{4!}{0!\left(4\right)!}x^4\cdot \:2^0+\dfrac{4!}{1!\left(3\right)!}x^3\cdot \:2^1+\dfrac{4!}{2!\left(2\right)!}x^2\cdot \:2^2+\dfrac{4!}{3!\left(1\right)!}x^1\cdot \:2^3+\dfrac{4!}{4!\left(0\right)!}x^0\cdot \:2^4

=1\cdot x^4\cdot \:1+4\cdot x^3\cdot \:2+6x^2\cdot \:4+4\cdot x\cdot \:8+1\cdot 1\cdot \:16

=x^4+8x^3+24x^2+32x+16

The time intervals between successive barges passing a certain point on a busy waterway have an exponential distribution with me
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a) <u>0.4647</u>

b) <u>24.6 secs</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be interval between two successive barges

t(t) = λe^λt where t > 0

The mean of the exponential

E(T) = 1/λ

E(T) = 8

1/λ = 8

λ = 1/8

∴ t(t) = 1/8×e^-t/8   [ t > 0]

Now the probability we need

p[T<5] = ₀∫⁵ t(t) dt

=₀∫⁵ 1/8×e^-t/8 dt

= 1/8 ₀∫⁵ e^-t/8 dt

= 1/8 [ (e^-t/8) / -1/8 ]₀⁵

= - [ e^-t/8]₀⁵

= - [ e^-5/8 - 1 ]

= 1 - e^-5/8 = <u>0.4647</u>

Therefore the probability that the time interval between two successive barges is less than 5 minutes is <u>0.4647</u>

<u></u>

b)

Now we find t such that;

p[T>t] = 0.95

so

t_∫¹⁰ t(x) dx = 0.95

t_∫¹⁰ 1/8×e^-x/8 = 0.95

1/8 t_∫¹⁰ e^-x/8 dx = 0.95

1/8 [( e^-x/8 ) / - 1/8 ]¹⁰_t  = 0.95

- [ e^-x/8]¹⁰_t = 0.96

- [ 0 - e^-t/8 ] = 0.95

e^-t/8 = 0.95

take log of both sides

log (e^-t/8) = log (0.95)

-t/8 = In(0.95)

-t/8 = -0.0513

t = 8 × 0.0513

t = 0.4104 (min)

so we convert to seconds

t = 0.4104 × 60

t = <u>24.6 secs</u>

Therefore the time interval t such that we can be 95% sure that the time interval between two successive barges will be greater than t is <u>24.6 secs</u>
