Answer:
16
Explanation:
Okay so Jack started with 50 chocolates, and ended with 2.
The simple way to calculate it would be by realising that Jack only distributed 48 chocolates. We can find how many times 3 fits into 48 by dividing
48
÷
3
=
16
.
Using algebra, we substitute the value we want to find with
x
. Here what we want to find is the number of friends that were at Jack's party.
We know that he started with 50 chocolates, then distributed
3
×
the number of friends present (which is
x
).
We write that down as
50
−
3
x

(It's minus because when chocolates are distributed, Jack is taking away from what he has.)
We know that after this, there were only 2 chocolates left, so it's
50
−
3
x
=
2
Then we proceed by moving all the numbers to the right until only
x
is left:
−
3
x
=
2
−
50

−
3
x
=
−
48
x
=
−
48
−
3
x
=
16
Conclusion: The number of people that attended the party was 16.

frutty [35]

Answer:

0.0062

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the diagnosed blood sugar level.

Probability of committing a Type II error = Probability of failing to detect the disease when the person has the disease = Probability that the diagnosed blood sugar level is less than or equal to 125 =

P(X \le 125 |\mu = 150)

= P[Z\le (125 - 150)/10]

=P[Z \le -2.5]

= 0.0062

The formula for this arithmetic sequence is: 9n+4

1st term: 9(1)+4 = 13

2nd term: 9(2)+4 = 22

3rd term: 9(3)+4 = 31

4th term: 9(4)+4 = 40
