Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Everyone added together = 68
Four years ago, they were 68 -16 = 52
But the question told 54 years.
So there was a girl who was 2 years.
Girl = 2
Boy = 2 +3 = 5
Husband = 3 +w
Wife =w
3 +w +w + 5 + 2 = 68
10 + 2w = 68
2w = 58
w = 29
Wife = 29
Husband = 29 +3 =32
Husband = 32 years
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ 32 \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, please consider the following.
We know that "All together they are 68 years old." and "Four years ago, all together the family was 54 years old."
If all the family was alive four years ago, it means that four years ago the sum of their ages was 68 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 because they are four members, so it gives 68 - 16 =52 which is different from 54, right ?
It means that we have the daughter in between, 54- 52 = 2, so the daughter's age is 2, and then the son's age is 5.
The husband is 3 years older than the wife. Let's note W the wife's age, we can write W + 3 + W + 5 + 2 = 68
2 W + 10 = 68
2 W = 68 - 10 = 58 so W = 29
and then the husband's age is 29 + 3 = 32.
And we can verify that 32 + 29 + 5 + 2 = 68, and four years ago, 28 + 25 + 1 + 0 = 54.
Hope this helps.

4. Solve the system of equations. (6 points) Part I: Explain the steps you would take to solve the system by eliminating the x-terms. (1 point) Part II: Explain the steps you would take to solve the system by eliminating the y-terms. (2 points) Part III: Choose either of the methods described in parts I or II to solve the system of equations. Write your answer as an ordered pair. Show your work. (3 points)
Answer:
The system of equations you want to be solved is not given. I would however give an example with which the method of elimination will be shown, and can be used in solving problems of the nature.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the system of equations:
x + y = 7 ................................(1)
2x - y = 8 ..............................(2)
To eliminate x:
First multiply (1) by 2 to have
2x + 2y = 14 ...........................(3)
Next, subtract (2) from (3) to have
3y = 6
y = 6/3 = 2
To eliminate y:
Add (1) and (2) to have
3x = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, (x, y) = (5, 2).
The image of (-4,6) reflected along the y-axis is
a. (4, -6)
b. (-4,-6)
c. (4, 6)
d. (-4, 6)
Answer:
C(4,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
the x turns into its opposite when reflected across y same thing for y when reflected across x
Answer:
c. (4, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of an reflection about the y-axis is: [tex]A(x,y)\rightarrow A'(-x,y)[/tex]
Apply the rule to point (-4, 6):
[tex]\frac{(-4,6)\rightarrow\boxed{(4,6)}}{(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)}[/tex]
Option C should be the correct answer.

P(x) 0.05 0.15 0.25 0.55
To find : The probability of randomly selecting a household that has one or two televisions ( in both parts a. and b.).
The computations for this would be :
P( 1 or 2) = P(1)+P(2)
= 0.05+0.15
= 0.20
Hence, the required probability= 0.20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find X using the Angle Sum Theorem
Answer:
x = 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
So when I learned it we called it the exterior angle theorem not the angle sum theorem but here goes.
Since exterior angle = 110 Degrees,
--> The Inner 2 angles's sum = 110 Degrees
so, 70 + 2x = 110
=> 2x = 40
x = 20
x = 20°

A television screen has a length to width ratio of 8 to 5 and a perimeter of 117 inches. What is the diagonal measure of the screen (to the nearest tenth of an inch)?
Answer:
[tex]D = 42.5\ inch[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]L = Length[/tex] and [tex]W = Width[/tex]
[tex]L:W = 8: 5[/tex]
[tex]Perimeter = 117[/tex]
Required
Determine the Diagonal
First, the dimension of the screen has to be calculated;
Recall that; [tex]L:W = 8: 5[/tex]
Convert to division
[tex]\frac{L}{W} = \frac{8}{5}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by W
[tex]W * \frac{L}{W} = \frac{8}{5} * W[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{8W}{5}[/tex]
The perimeter of a rectangle:
[tex]Perimeter = 2(L+W)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]L = \frac{8W}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Perimeter = 2(\frac{8W}{5}+W)[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Perimeter = 2(\frac{8W + 5W}{5})[/tex]
[tex]Perimeter = 2(\frac{13W}{5})[/tex]
Substitute 117 for Perimeter
[tex]117 = 2(\frac{13W}{5})[/tex]
[tex]117 = \frac{26W}{5}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{5}{26}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{26} * 117 = \frac{26W}{5} * \frac{5}{26}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5 * 117}{26} = W[/tex]
[tex]\frac{585}{26} = W[/tex]
[tex]22.5 = W[/tex]
[tex]W = 22.5[/tex]
Recall that
[tex]L = \frac{8W}{5}[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{8 * 22.5}{5}[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{180}{5}[/tex]
[tex]L = 36[/tex]
The diagonal of a rectangle is calculated using Pythagoras theorem as thus;
[tex]D = \sqrt{L^2 + W^2}[/tex]
Substitute values for L and W
[tex]D = \sqrt{36^2 + 22.5^2}[/tex]
[tex]D = \sqrt{1296 + 506.25}[/tex]
[tex]D = \sqrt{1802.25}[/tex]
[tex]D = \sqrt{1802.25}[/tex]
[tex]D = 42.4529150943[/tex]
[tex]D = 42.5\ inch[/tex] (Approximated)

And automatically out against the favor is 63 : 25
A carpenter is making doors that are 20582058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 1010 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 20462046 millimeters with a standard deviation of 1515. Is there evidence at the 0.050.05 level that the doors are too short and unusable
Answer:
Z= 0.253
Z∝/2 = ± 1.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as
H0 : u1= u2 against Ha : u1≠ u2 This is a two sided test
Here ∝= 0.005
For alpha by 2 for a two tailed test Z∝/2 = ± 1.96
Standard deviation = s= 15
n= 10
The test statistic used here is
Z = x- x`/ s/√n
Z= 2058- 2046 / 15 / √10
Z= 0.253
Since the calculated value of Z= 0.253 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis.
There is evidence at the 0.05 level that the doors are too short and unusable.

Answer:
Mean= $21.5067
Median = $15.8
Standard deviation= $19.02
Coefficient of skewness= $0.8991
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean =( $4.0 +$6.0 +$7.4+ $10.6 +$12.5+ $13.6+ $15.4+ $15.8 +$16.8
+$17.4+ $19.1 +$22.3+ $37.1 +$43.2 +$81.4)/15
Mean =$ 322.6/15
Mean= $21.5067
Median= middle number
Median = $15.8
Variance=( ($4.0-.$21.5)²+( $6.0. -.$21.5)²+( $7.4 -.$21.5)²+( $10.6 -.$21.5)²+( $12.5 -.$21.5)²+( $13.6. -.$21.5)²+ ($15.4 -.$21.5)²+( $15.8 -.$21.5)²+ ( $16.8 -.$21.5)²+ ($17.4-.$21.5)² +($19.1 -.$21.5)²+ ($22.3 -.$21.5)²+ ($37.1 -.$21.5)²+ ($43.2-.$21.5)²+( $81.4-.$21.5)²)/15
Variance=$ 5424.79/15
Variance=$ 361.65
Standard deviation= √ variance
Standard deviation= √361.65
Standard deviation= $19.02
Coefficient of skewness
=3( mean-median)/standard deviation
= 3(21.5-15.8)/19.02
= 3(5.7)/19.02
= 17.1/19.02
Coefficient of skewness= 0.8991

A Prefeitura da Cidade Feliz doou um
terreno para a Comunidade Viver Bem
discutir projetos que deveriam ser
implantados no local. Após um planejamento
participativo, ficou acertado que 45% da área
total desse terreno serão destinados a uma
creche;
3%,
para banheiros públicos e 12%
para uma academia de ginástica comunitária.
A sobra da área, que é de 960m² será
utilizada para uma pequena praça com
parque de lazer. Qual é a área total ocupada
pela creche, banheiros públicos e academia
de ginástica comunitária?
Aqui temos a seguinte divisao de terreno:
creche + banheiros + academia = 45% + 3% + 12% = 60%
O que sobra: Fazendo a conta, 100 - 60 = 40, restará 40%
No enunciado informa que sobraram 960m².
Logo concluimos que 40% = 960m²
Sendo assim, regra de 3:
m² %
960 -------- 40
X -------- 60
40X = 960 . 60
X = 57600/40
X = 1440
Logo 1440m² é destinado para: creche, banheiros públicos e academia
de ginástica comunitária.
O terreno tem um total de 1440 + 960 = 2400m²
para cada espaço - novamente diversas regra de 3:
→ creche = 45%
m² %
2400 -------- 100
X -------- 45
X = 108000/100 = 1080
→ banheiros públicos = 3%
m² %
2400 -------- 100
X -------- 3
X = 7200/100 = 72
→ academia de ginástica comunitária = 12%
m² %
2400 -------- 100
X -------- 12
X = 28800/100 = 288
provando:
60% = 1440m² (visto acima)
creche - 1080
banheiros - 72
academia - 288
1080 + 72 + 288 = 1440 (60%)

Given a population with a mean of µ = 100 and a variance of σ2 = 1600, the central limit theorem applies when the sample size is n ≥ 25. A random sample of size n = 50 is obtained. • What are the mean and variance of the sampling distribution for the sample means? • What is the probability that ¯X > 110?
Answer:
The probability that the sample mean is more than 110 is 0.0384.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.
Then, the mean of the sampling distribution of sample mean is given by:
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu[/tex]
And the variance of the sampling distribution of sample mean is given by:
[tex]\sigma^{2}_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}[/tex]
The information provided is:
[tex]n=50\\\\\mu=100\\\\\sigma^{2}=1600[/tex]
Since n = 50 > 30, the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean by the normal distribution.
The mean variance of the sampling distribution for the sample mean are:
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=100\\\\\sigma^{2}_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}=\frac{1600}{50}=32[/tex]
That is, [tex]\bar X\sim N(100, 32)[/tex].
Compute the probability that the sample mean is more than 110 as follows:
[tex]P(\bar X>110)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{110-100}{\sqrt{32}})[/tex]
[tex]=P(Z>1.77)\\=1-P(Z<1.77)\\=1-0.96164\\=0.03836\\\approx 0.0384[/tex]
*Use a z-table.
Thus, the probability that the sample mean is more than 110 is 0.0384.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 inches long. One of the legs is 1 inch longer than the other. What is the length (in inches) of the longer leg?
Answer: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We gonna find the the length of the right triangle legs using Phitagor theorem.
c²=a²+b² (1) , where c is triangle's hypotenuse
a and b are the triangle's legs.
Let the leg a =x, so leg b=x+1 inches
Now we can write the equation using (1)
25=x²+(x+1)²
25=x²+x²+2*x+1
2*x²+2*x-24=0 ( divide by 2 both sides of the equation)
x²+x-12=0
Find the discriminant D=1+12*4=49
√D=7
x1= (-1+7)/2=3 x2=(-1-7)/2=-4 - x2=-4 not possible so length of the leg can not be negative.
So the shorter leg a=x= 3 inches
The longer leg b=x+1=4 inches

Two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing 5 red and 4 white balls. Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was (Upper A )Replaced before the second draw. (Upper B )Not replaced before the second draw. (A) Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw. StartFraction 24 Over 49 EndFraction (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction.) (B) Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The box contains 5 red and 4 white balls.
A) The probability that at least 1 ball was red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)
Given that the first ball was (Upper A )Replaced before the second draw:
P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 5/9 = 25/81
P(first is red and second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/9 = 20/81
P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/9 = 20/81
The probability that at least 1 ball was red = 25/81 + 20/81 + 20/81 = 65/81
B) The probability that at least 1 ball was red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)
Given that the first ball was not Replaced before the second draw:
P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72 (since it was not replaced after the first draw the number of red ball remaining would be 4 and the total ball remaining would be 8)
P(first is red second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72
P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/8 = 20/72
The probability that at least 1 ball was red = 20/72 + 20/72 + 20/72 = 60/72
The length of each side of a cubical wooden block is 16 inches. What is the volume of
the block
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the volume of a cube, you simply take whatever the side length is and multiply it by itself 3 times, which is also known as cubing the number!
16×16×16=4096
You can also write it as 16³=4096
This is because the length is 16, the width is 16, and the height is 16, so you multiply them all together!
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is the time,
and T is the half life.
A = 140 when t = 10. Solve for the half life:
140 = 700 (½)^(10 / T)
0.2 = ½^(10 / T)
log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5
10 / T = 2.32
T = 4.31
When A = 40, t is:
40 = 700 (½)^(t / 4.31)
0.057 = ½^(t / 4.31)
log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5
t / 4.31 = 4.13
t = 17.8
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it takes 18 minutes.
The time taken for bacteria to reach 40 according to the exponential half-life decay formula is 18 minutes.
What is an exponential function?In mathematics, an exponential function is a relationship of the type y = ax, where x is an independent variable that spans the entire real number line and is expressed as the exponent of a positive number.
The half-life decay formula is given as,
N(t) = N₀ [tex](1/2)^{(t / T)}[/tex]
Where T is half-life while t is the time taken.
N₀ is the initial amount,
As per the given,
N(t) = 140 when t = 10.
140 = 700 [tex](1/2)^{(t / T)}[/tex]
Take log both sides,
log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5
10 / T = 2.32
T = 4.31 minutes
Put N(t) = 40
40 = 700[tex](1/2)^{(t / 4.31)}[/tex]
Take log both sides,
log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5
t / 4.31 = 4.13
t = 17.8 ≈ 18 minutes
Hence "The time taken for bacteria to reach 40 according to the exponential half-life decay formula is 18 minutes".

The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed with a mean of 0.966 grams and a standard deviation of 0.315 grams. Find the probability of randomly selecting a cigarette with 0.305 grams of nicotine or less.
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 0.01795[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 0.966 \ grams[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.315 \ grams[/tex]
Given that the amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed
Then the probability of randomly selecting a cigarette with 0.305 grams of nicotine or less is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 1 - P(X > 0.305) = 1 - P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{0.305 - \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 1 - P(X > 0.305) = 1 - P(Z > \frac{0.305 - 0.966 }{0.315} )[/tex]
[tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 1 - P(X > 0.305) = 1 - P(Z >-2.0984 )[/tex]
From the z-table(reference calculator dot net ) value of [tex]P(Z >-2.0984 ) =0.98205[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 1 - P(X > 0.305) = 1 - 0.98205[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 1 - P(X > 0.305) = 0.01795[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X \le 0.305 ) = 0.01795[/tex]
Question 3: The gasoline gauge on a van initially read ⅛ full. When 15 gallons of gasoline were added to the tank, the gauge then read ¾ full. How many more gallons would be needed to fill the tank?
Answer:
hi
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4=6/8
6/8-1/8=5/8
So 5/8 of the tank is 15 gallons. This means each 1/8 of a tank is 3 gallons.
The van is currently 6/8 full. We need to add another 2/8 to completely fill the tank.
2x3=6
You’ll need 6 more gallons to fill the tank.
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years will it take to reach $20 per month? Use the equation 20 = 8(1.2)x to solve the problem. Round to the nearest year. 1 year 5 years 2 years 16 years
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
[tex]y=ab^x\\8=ab^0\\a=8[/tex]
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
[tex]y=ab^x\\y=8(1.2^x) \\[/tex]
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
[tex]20=8(1.2)^x\\20/8=1.2^x\\1.2^x=2.5\\Taking \ natural\ log\ of \ both\ sides:\\ln(1.2^x)=ln2.5\\xln(1.2)=0.9163\\x=0.9163/ln(1.2)\\x=5.026[/tex]
x = 6 years to the nearest year
