So
Jon's age=j
mary age=m


m+j=27
m+2 times j=40
m+2j=40
M+j=27
ssubtract j from both sides
m=27-j
subsitute 27-j for m
27-j+2j=40
27+j=40
subtract 27 fromboth sdies
j=13

subsitue
13+m=27
subtract 13
m=14

mary=14
john=13

J+M=27
2J+M=40

J=27-M

2(27-M)+M=40
54-2M+M=40
54-M=40
-M=-14
M=14

2J+14=40
2J=26
J=13

John is 13 years old
Mary is 14 years old

topjm [15]

Answer:

534 is the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the mean you add all the numbers together (for example this set of numbers):

785, 585, 465, 409, 495, 465

=3204

then divide the number of numbers that you added together , (in this case 6)

3204/6

=

534

A Family travels at a constant rate and drove 420 miles in 7 hours.If they drive at the same speed ,How many miles will they dri
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

240 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We find the constant rate at which the family travels

Speed(Rate) = Distance/Time

A Family travels at a constant rate and drove 420 miles in 7 hours.

Speed(Rate) = 420 miles/7 hours

= 60 miles per hour

Step 2

If they drive at the same speed ,How many miles will they drive in the next four hours.?

We are to finally calculate the distance for the next 4 hours

Distance = Speed × Time

Speed = 60 miles per hour

Time = 4 hours

Distance = 60 miles per hour × 4 hours

Distance = 240 miles

Therefore, for the next 4 hours the number of miles they would drive is 240 miles

A multiple-choice standard test contains total of 25 questions, each with four answers. Assume that a student just guesses on ea
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a)  8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) 0.2137 (21.37%)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the test contains 25 questions and each questions is independent of the others, then the random variable X= answer "x" questions correctly , has a binomial probability distribution. Then

P(X=x)= n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of questions= 25

p= probability of getting a question right = 1/4

then

a) P(x=n) = p^n = (1/4)²⁵ = 8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) P(x<5)= F(5)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution- Then from tables

P(x<5)= F(5)= 0.2137 (21.37%)
