Let age of sarah is x then ralph is 3x
after 4 years sarah age is x+4 and ralph age is 3x+4
acc to stat 3x+4=2(x+4)
3x-2x=8-4
x=4
sarah age is 4 years and ralph age is 12 years

Ralph is 12. If Ralph is 12 that means Sara is 4 (12/4=3). In 4 years Sara will be 8 and Ralph would be 16 (16/8=2).

√(25 - 10 √(3) + 3)<br> (not as a decimal)

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sqrt{25-10\sqrt3+3}=5-\sqrt3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{25-10\sqrt3+3}=(*)\\\\25=5^2\\3=(\sqrt3)^2\\10\sqrt3=(2)(5)(\sqrt3)\\\\(*)=\sqrt{5^2-(2)(5)(\sqrt3)+(\sqrt3)^2}\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=\sqrt{(5-\sqrt3)^2}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=|a|\\\\=|5-\sqrt3|=5-\sqrt3\\\\^{\text{because}\ 5>\sqrt3\to5-\sqrt3>0}$

The histogram shows the distribution of hurricanes that have hit a country from 1851 through 2015, where 1 is the weakest level

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

a) mean = 0.2

variance = 0.0391

standard deviation = 0.198

b) The average hurricane is aprox. category 2.* (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation, let us for a table for the data:

level x

1 0.411

2 0.278

3 0.221

4 0.080

5 0.010

Calculating the mean ( $\bar{x}$ )

$\bar{x} = \frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4 + x_5}{n}\\\\\bar{x} = \frac{0.411 + 0.278 + 0.221 + 0.080 + 0.010}{5}\\\bar{x} = \frac{1}{5}\\ \bar{x} = 0.2$

∴Mean = 0.2

level x $x- \bar{x}$ $(x - \bar{x})^2$

1 0.411 0.211 0.0445

2 0.278 0.078 0.0608

3 0.221 0.021 0.000441

4 0.080 -0.12 0.0144

5 0.010 -0.19 0.0361

$\sum(x - \bar{x})^2 = 0.1562$

$variance = \frac{\sum(x - \bar{x})^2}{n-1} \\variance = \frac{0.1562}{4} \\variance = 0.0391$

standard deviation = √(variance)

Standard deviation = √(0.0391)

Standard deviation = 0.198

b) the average hurricane is aprox. category 2 (B)

If the value of x is equal to a -6, does it make this inequality a true statement? -3-5x<-14

Rama09 [41]

Yes it makes it a true statement because if my math is correct it will add up and the negative is not canceled. That’s only with multiplication
