Each year, the department of water works measures the chloride concentration level in the water. the first year, they found the chloride concentration changed by −1 3/5 mg/l . it is estimated that the chloride concentration will change −2 1/15 mg/l the next year.

what is the total change that will likely occur in 2 years?

$-2\frac{241}{360} mg /L$

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

The first year, the concentration is $-1 \frac{3}{5} mg/L$ .The second year, the concentration is $-2\frac{1}{15} mg/L$ .

To find the ratio of change, we just have to divide the second concentration with the first one

$-2\frac{1}{15} \div -1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{31}{15} \div \frac{8}{5}=\frac{31}{15} \times \frac{5}{8}=\frac{155}{120}= \frac{31}{24}$

So, we need to apply this ratio of change to find the concentration for the third year, because the question is asking for the concentration in 2 years

$-2\frac{1}{15} mg/L \times \frac{31}{24} =-\frac{31}{15} mg/L \times \frac{31}{24} =-\frac{961}{360} =-2\frac{241}{360} mg /L$

Therefore, the concentration is

$-2\frac{241}{360} mg /L$

answer: segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students. an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality. in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated. segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to education. this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools. section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
