Nojo is 5 years older then jacob . the product of their ages is 84 . now old is noj

We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.

n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.

n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84

Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.

<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84

The answer is C = 12

Answer:

Q6. D

Q8. A

Step-by-step explanation:

Q6. In 40 trials, he flipped '2 heads and 1 tail' 16 times.

For 2 heads, probability= 16/40= 4/10

For 120 trials, number of times= 4/10 × 120= 48

Q8.

$125x + 200 \geqslant 1200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1200 - 200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1000 \\ x \geqslant 1000 \div 125 \\ x \geqslant 8$

Answer is A because the inequality shows that x is equal or greater than 8 so the dot at 8 has to be coloured.

Note that we do not change the inequality sign unless we are dividing the whole thing by -1.

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.14 at the 95% level of confidence is n=567.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the minimum sample size n needed to have a margin of error below 0.14.

The critical value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

To do that, we use the margin of error formula in function of n:

$MOE=\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\n=\left(\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{MOE}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{1.96\cdot 1.7}{0.14}\right)^2=(23.8)^2=566.42\approx 567$
