Answer:

Alice will have to pay $13.33

Ben will have to pay $23.33

Kelvin will have to pay $43.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Alice destination is 20 miles away

Ben destination is 30 miles away

Calvin destination is 40 miles away.

For a mile, taxi costs 2 dollars.

To find:

How much each person has to pay if they share the same taxi to their respective destinations?

Solution:

For the first 20 miles, the taxi will be shared by all 3 of them.

Charges for 20 miles = 20 \times 2 = $40

This $40 will be shared among all 3.

Each will pay = \frac{40}{3} = \$13.33

Charges for Alice = $13.33

Charges for Ben = $13.33

Charges for Calvin = $13.33

For the next 10 miles, the taxi will be shared by Ben and Calvin.

Charges for 10 miles = 10 \times 2 = $20

This $20 will be shared between Ben and Calvin.

Each will pay = \frac{20}{2} = \$10

Charges for Alice = $13.33

Charges for Ben = $13.33 + 10 = $23.33

Charges for Calvin = $13.33 + 10 = $23.33

For the next 10 miles, Calvin travels alone.

Charges for 10 miles = 10 \times 2 = $20

This $20 will be paid by Calvin alone.

Charges for Alice = $13.33

Charges for Ben = $23.33

Charges for Calvin = $23.33 + 20 = $43.33

frutty [35]

Answer:

The time the patient expected to survive after diagnosis is 29 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the mean survival time after diagnosis for a certain disease is 15 years with a standard deviation of 5 years.

That is,

\mu=15\\\sigma=5

An individual's predicted survival time is <em>a</em> = 2.8 standard deviations beyond the mean.

Compute the time the patient expected to survive after diagnosis as follows:

X=\mu+a\sigma

    =15+(2.8\times 5)\\\\=15+14\\\\=29

Thus, the time the patient expected to survive after diagnosis is 29 years.
