Answer:

x = 11, y = 3 and z = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be x, y and z.  Then x + y + z = 69

Then y = x - 8, and z = 5x.  Substituting these expressions in x into

x + y + z = 69, we get:  x + x - 8 + 5x = 69, or

7x = 77, so that x = 11.

If x = 11, then:

y = x - 8 = 11 - 8 = 3, and:

z = 5x = 5(11) = 55

Then x = 11, y = 3 and z = 55.

Check:  Do these three numbers add up to 69?  11 + 3 + 55 = 69?  YES

Answer:

They are 3, 11 and 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

x +y + z = 69

y = x - 8

z = 5x

Substitute z = 5x in the first equation:

x + y + 5x = 69

6x + y = 69.........(1)

From the second equation

-x + y = -8.........(2)

Subtract equations (1) - (2):

7x = 77

x = 11

So z = 5x = 5*11 = 55 and

y =  x - 8 = 11 - 8 = 3..

If a bus travels 20 km in 30 minutes. What is the average speed of the bus?
sattari [20]
<span>So we need to find the average speed of the bus that travels 20 km in 30 minutes. Average speed is defined as: Average speed=distance travelled/time taken or: v=s/t. We know s=20 km and t=30 minutes=0.5h. So after we input our numbers in the equation, we get: v=20km/0.5h=40km/h. So the correct answer is C) 40km/h.</span>

What percentage of the data falls outside 1 standard deviation of the mean?
Alik [6]

We all know about the bell curve i.e. normal distribution curve. It is centered about the mean and spread equally on each side.

We describe the area of the curve with the help of standard deviations.

With in 1 standard deviation about the mean i.e. from -1 s.d. (left of mean) to +1 s.d. (right of mean), it covers 68% of the total area of curve.

So, the data that falls outside 1 standard deviation of the mean would be equal to (100% - 68%) i.e. 32%.

So, 32% is the final answer.
