<h2>Answer:</h2>

The weight of Anna is: 115 pounds

and the weight of Janet is: 135 pounds.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Janet weighs 20 pounds more than Anna.

This means if the weight of Anna is: x pounds

Then the age of Janet is: (x+20) pounds.

Also,

The sum of their weights is 250 pounds.

i.e.

x+x+20=250

i.e.

2x+20=250

On subtracting both side by 20 we have:

2x=250-20

i.e.

2x=230

On dividing both side by 2 we have:

x=115

Hence, the weight of Anna is:115 pounds.

and the weight of Janet is: 115+20=135 pounds.

Janet = J
Anna = A

J = A + 20
J + A = 250

Considering that Janet and Anna are relatively close to eachother in weight, let's divide the sum by 2 to give us a general idea of where their weight lies.

250 / 2 = 125

Janet's and Anna's weights are around 125.
Let's try 140 for Janet and 120 for Anna

140 = 120 + 20 (J = A + 20), this works!
140 + 120 = 260 (J + A = 250), this unfortunately doesn't work.

Let's try 135 for Janet and 115 for Anna.

135 = 115 + 20 (J = A + 20), this works!
135 + 115 (J + A = 250), this also works!

Janet weighs 135 pounds, and Anna weighs 115 pounds.

I hope this helps!

An oil exploration firm is formed with enough capital to finance ten explorations. The probabil- ity of a particular exploration
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

μ = 1 The firm expects that one oil exploration will be successful.

v(x)= 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to define the random variable x as:

x: number of oil explorations being succesful

Then x can be take this values:

x = 0 , x =1 ... x =10

x is a binomially distributed random variable with parameters.

p = 0.1 and  n=10

And the mean or the expected value of x is:

μ = E(x) = np

Then μ = 10*0.1 = 1

And the variance of x is:

V(x) = np(1-p)

V(x) = 10(0.1)(1-0.1)= 0.9

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that goes through the points (0, 1) and (2, 7)
laiz [17]

Answer:

point - slope form

 y - 1 = 3 (x-0)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>step(i):-</em></u>

Given points are (0,1) and (2,7)

The slope of the line

     m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

    m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} } = \frac{7-1}{2-0} = \frac{6}{2}  = 3

  m =3

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

point -slope form

   y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

Equation of the straight line passing through the point (0,1) and having slope 'm' = 3

   y - 1 = 3 (x-0)

  y -1 = 3x

 3x - y +1=0

Equation of the straight line passing through the point (0,1) and having slope 'm' = 3 is 3x -y +1=0
