A repairman charges $18 per hour to repair appliances plus $0.27 per mile to drive to the house and back. It took the repairman

2 hours and 15 minutes to fix the Andersen's washing machine, and he drove 21 miles to get to their home. He charged $51.84 for the visit. Was the charge correct? If not why?

Answer: The charge was right.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he charged $18 per hour, it means he charged $18 for 60 minutes. He worked for 2 hours 15 minutes which is (60 ×2) + 15 = 135 minutes. For 135 mins, (135 ×18)÷ 60 = 40.5.

He drove 21 miles to his house and 21 miles back. That is 21×2= 42. And for $0.27 = $11.34.

Adding the costs, 40.5 + 11.34 = $51.84

A large stockpile of used pumps contains 20% that are currently unusable and need to be repaired. A repairman is sent to the sto
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Expected value = 190

Variance = 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of the trials until the third success of the bad pump.

This implies that X is a negative binomial distribution having θ = 20% = 0.2.

Now, if for example it will take X trials to use up the three pumps, then the total time is 10 min/trials + extra 10 minutes for the 3 bad pumps

This means the total time is written as;

T = 10X + (10 + 10 + 20)

T = 10X + 40

Mean which is also expected value of X is;

μ_x = 3/0.2 = 15

Variance of X is; σ²_x = 40

Thus;

Mean of T will be;

μ_T = 10μ_x + 40

μ_T = 10(15) + 40

μ_T = 190

Also, variance of T will be;

σ²_T = 10²•σ²_x

σ²_T = 100 × 40

σ²_T = 4000

A matrix contains 60 elements. Which of the following cannot equal the number of rows of the matrix?
avanturin [10]

<span>Given:

Matrix = 60 elements</span>

 

<span>To solve this, we need to take into account that each row must contain the same number of elements. So, we need to find which of the options do not divide evenly into 60 (the options are 30, 60, 10, and 18).

So we check each of the choices to see if 1 of them divides evenly with 60.

60 / 60 = 1 (divides evenly)</span>

60 / 30 = 2 (divides evenly)

<span>60 / 10 = 6 (divides evenly)
</span>60 / 18 = 3.3.3333333333333333333333333333333 (does not divide evenly)

Therefore, 18 cannot equal the number of rows of the matrix.

Fiona started with 15/ 18 of a piece of pie. then she added another piece which was 13/6. how much did she have in total
PolarNik [594]

First piece of pie = 15/18

Second piece of pie = 13/6.

We need to find the total value.

In order to find the total value, we need to add both fractions.

Total value = First piece of pie + Second piece of pie.

=15/18 + 13/6.

In order to add those fractions, we need to find the common denominators.

We have denominators 18 and 6.

Common denominator of 18 and 6 is 18.

So, we need to multiply second fraction 13/6 by 3 in top and bottom to make the denominator of second fraction equals 18.

Therefore, 15/18 + 13/6 = 15/18 + 13*3/6*3

=15/18 +39/18.

=(15+39)/18.

=54/18.

Therefore, Fiona had 54/18 in total.

Hiro has a stack of cards with one number from the set 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 written on each card. What is the probability that
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Therefore, the probability is P=3/32.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Hiro has a stack of cards with one number from the set 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 written on each card.  

We calculate the probability that he pulls out a 3 first and then pulls out a 2 without replacing them.

The probability that he pulls out a 3 first is 3/8.

The probability of a second card being 2 is 2/8.

We get:

P=\frac{3}{8}\cdot \frac{2}{8}\\\\P=\frac{6}{64}\\\\P=\frac{3}{32}

Therefore, the probability is P=3/32.
