Suppose the concentration of a certain pollutant is uniformly distributed in the range of 4 to 20 ppm (parts per million). if a concentration in excess of 15 ppm is considered toxic, what is the probability that a specimen will yield a toxic concentration level

Uniform probability?  Here the probability function graph is a rectangle of length 20-4 (or 16) and width / height of 1/16.  Note that the area under the graph from x=4 to x=20 is 1 (which is always the case when we're discussing probability functions).  The area under the graph from 15 to 20 is (20-15)(1/16), or
5(1/16), or 5/16.  Thus, the probability that a specimen will yield a toxic concentration level is 5/16.

I have no way of knowing what you already know about probability distributions.  If you need a more detailed explanation, please ask questions here.

1.5 pounds because you put 9over 6 and then divide by 6

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
