Answer:
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = 11years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let will age = x
Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older
x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1
Opening brackets
x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 9
Collect like terms
x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0
x² - 8x - 9 = 0
Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.
The factors are -9 and +1
x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0
x(x + 1) -9( x +1)
x+1) (x -9) =0
x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0
x = -1 or 9
Age can not be negative
Therefore,
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years

Answer:
1. 68%
2. 50%
3. 15/100
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to use the empirical rule
1. % waiting between 15 and 25 minutes
From what we have in the question;
15 is 1 SD below the mean
25 is 1 SD above the mean
So practically, we want to calculate the percentage between;
1 SD below and above the mean
According to the empirical rule;
1 SD above the mean we have 34%
1 SD below, we have 34%
So between 1 SD below and above, we have
34 + 34 = 68%
2. Percentage above the mean
Mathematically, the percentage above the mean according to the empirical rule for the normal distribution is 50%
3. Probability that someone waits less than 5 minutes
Less than 5 minutes is 3 SD below the mean
That is 0.15% according to the empirical rule and the probability is 15/100
