B:S = 4x:3x
4x - 3x = 3
x = 3
They were 12 & 9.
Add 5 to that.
So he’s now 17 and she’s 14

Reil [10]

Answer:

81 samples

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule :

Possible values of the sample mean is within 3 standard deviations of the population mean :

μ ± 3 sd(x) ; sd(x) = standard deviation of sampling distribution.

3 * sd(x) = 1

sd(x) = 1/3

Recall:

Standard deviation of sampling distribution, sd(x)

sd(x) = σ / sqrt(n)

1/3 = 3 / sqrt(n)

Square both sides

1/9 = 9/n

Cross multiply :

n * 1 = 9 * 9

n = 81
