Given:
Consider the total age of 5 children with age difference 3 years is 50 years.
To find:
The age of the youngest and oldest child.
Solution:
Let the ages of the 5 children are x-6, x-3, x, x+3, x+6.
Sum of their ages is 50 years.
The age of the youngest child is
The age of the oldest child is
Therefore, the age of youngest child is 4 years and the age of the oldest child is 16 years.
Answer:
a) 3.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question mixed up, below is the correct question:
The bumper car ride at the state fair has 2 red cars, 4 green cars, and 2 blue cars. Garth is first in line for the ride and is assigned a car at random. Patty is next in line and is randomly assigned a car. Find the probability that both events A and B occur. Express your answer as a percent. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Calculation:
Given that the state fair has 2 red cars, 4 green cars and 2 blue cars.
There are therefore 2+4+2 = 8 cars in total.
Probability that Events A occurs P(A) = = 4
Probability that Events B occurs P(B) =
Probability that Events A and B occur P(A ∩ B) = ×
=
= 0.0357 = 3.57% ≈ 3.6%
Therefore, the probability that both events A and B occur is 3.6%
