Answer:
Jo's age = x = 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Jo's age = x
Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x
In four years time, Anne will be three times as old as Jo.
Jo's age =3( x + 4)
Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x + 4
How old is Jo?
Equate Jo's age and his mother's age
3(x + 4) = 4x + 4
3x + 12 = 4x + 4
3x - 4x = 4 - 12
-x = - 8
Divide both sides by -1
x = 8
Therefore,
Jo's age = x = 8 years
P(2 or H) = P(2) + P(H) - P(2 and H)
What is the probability of getting a 2 P(2)? = 1/6
What is the probability of getting heads P(H)? = 1/2
P(2 and H) is the product of those two events since the events are independent. = 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12
P(2 or H) = P(2) + P(H) - P(2 and H)
P(2 or H) = 1/6 + 1/2 - 1/12 = 7/12
