Let's say Mary's brother's age is x and Mary's age is y
(1) x = 3y - 5
(2) x + y = 39

Now if we substitute equation (1) into equation (2) we get:
3y - 5 + y = 39
4y = 44
y = 11

Therefor Mary is 11 years old

g True or False: A sample of size 25 provides a sample variance of 400. The standard error in this case, equal to 4, is best des
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have for a sample of size n=25 a sample variance of 400, the standard error can be written as:

\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{400}}{\sqrt{25}}=\dfrac{20}{5}=4

This way of calculating the standard error is the same used for estimating the standard deviation of the sample means for samples of size n=25.

Expand the following 1/6 (18x-24)
monitta
Hello,

What we want to do is multiply 1/6 by each value within the parentheses individually.

So, it would be:
(1/6) * (18x) = 3x
(1/6) * (-24) = -4

Together, this would be 3x-4.

Hope this helps!
