James'age : 12, Kate's age : 7

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one. Can be stated in the form:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{ax=b}}}$

ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one

Can be stated in the form:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{ax+by=c}}}$

x, y = variable

In the statement of the task:

James is two years younger than twice his sister Kate’s Age can be stated in the equation: James (J) = 2K (Kate) - 2 ⇒equation 1

Together their ages add up to 19. The equation: J + K = 19 .... 2 ---> J = 19 - K ⇒equation 2

So the solution is:

Equation 2 is entered into equation 1 so that it becomes:

19-K = 2K-2

21 = 3K

K = 7

because J + K = 19, then the value of J = 19-7 = 12

Answer:

<u><em>Yes, it is reasonable to expect that more than one subject will experience headaches</em></u>

Explanation:

Notice that where it says "assume that 55 subjects are randomly selected ..." there is a typo. The correct statement is "assume that 5 subjects are randomly selected ..."

You are given the table with the probability distribution, assuming, correctly, the binomial distribution with n = 5 and p = 0.732.

p = 0.732 is the probability of success (an individual experiences headaches).
n = 5 is the number of trials (number of subjects in the sample).

The meaning of the table of the distribution probability is:

The probability that 0 subjects experience headaches is 0.0014; the probability that 1 subject experience headaches is 0.0189, and so on.

To answer whether it <em>is reasonable to expect that more than one subject will experience headaches</em>, you must find the probability that:

X = 2 or X = 3 or X = 4 or X = 5

That is:

P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5).

That is also the complement of P(X = 0) or P(X = 1)

1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

From the table:

P(X = 0) = 0.0014
P(X = 1) = 0.0189

Hence:

1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) = 1 - 0.0014 - 0.0189 = 0.9797

That is very close to 1; thus, it is highly likely that more than 1 subject will experience headaches.

In conclusion, <em>yes, it is reasonable to expect that more than one subject will experience headaches</em>

Consider f and c below. f(x, y, z) = (y2z + 2xz2)i + 2xyzj + (xy2 + 2x2z)k,

qaws [65]

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=y^2z+2xz^2$
$f(x,y,z)=xy^2z+x^2z^2+g(y,z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2xyz+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=2xyz$
$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=xy^2+2x^2z+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=xy^2+2x^2z$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=0\implies h(z)=0$

$\implies f(x,y,z)=xy^2z+x^2z^2+C$
