Machines A and B always operate independently and at their respective constant rates. When working alone, Machine A can fill a p

roduction lot in 5 hours, and Machine B can fill the same lot in x hours. When the two machines operate simultaneously to fill the production lot, it takes them 2 hours to complete the job. What is the value of x ?

Answer:

The value of x is \frac{10}{3} hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A = 5 hours

Machine B = x hours

When both machines work together, it takes 2 hours.

Using the formula: \frac{T}{A} + \frac{T}{B} = 1

where:

T represents the total time worked by both machines

A represents the time taken by Machine A

B represents the time taken by Machine B

\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{x} = 1

Multiplying all terms by the common denominator (5B),

5x(\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{x} = 1)

2x + 10 = 5x.

Combining like terms yields:

10 = 5x - 2x

10 = 3x;

To isolate x, divide both sides by 3.

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{10}{3}

x = \frac{10}{3} hours.

Thus, Machine B will require \frac{10}{3} hours to fill the lot.

Ethan bought 4 packages of pencils. After he gave 8 pencils to his friends, he had 40 pencils left over. How many pencils were i
tester [3968]

Answer:

12 pencils per package.

Step-by-step explanation:

Details provided:

Ethan purchased 4 packages of pencils.

Number of Packages = 4

Number of pencils shared with friend = 8 pencils

Pencils remaining = 40 pencils

∴Total Number of Pencils = Pencils given to friend + Pencils remaining = 40+8 =48

Total Pencils in each package = \frac{\textrm{Total Number of Pencils}}{\textrm{No Of Packages}}= \frac{48}{4}= 12 \ pencils

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of
PIT_PIT [3949]
A. Mean and standard deviation.

The sampling distribution’s mean closely matches the population mean. Since the population mean is 174.5, the sampling distribution’s mean equals this value.

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is:

            σₓ̄ = σ / √n

Plugging in values:

            σₓ̄ = 6.9 / √25 = 1.38

b. Calculate z-scores for both values:
         
      z = (value - mean) / standard deviation

For 172.5:
     z = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
Corresponding probability ≈ 0.068

For 175.8:
   z = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
Corresponding probability ≈ 0.83

The difference between these probabilities is 0.762.

Approximately 0.762 × 200 = 152 sample means lie between 172.5 and 175.8.

c. Z-score for 172 cm:

    z = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.81
Probability ≈ 0.03

Hence, samples with means below 172 cm equal 0.03 × 200 = 6.
