Rob is 18
Jake is 9

21-15=6
6+3=9
9x2=18

Suppose Rob's age is X and Jake's age Y

Since Rob is two times as old as Jake, X = 2Y

Since Three Years ago the sum of their ages was 21,

X + Y = 21 + 6 This is true because it was three years ago, so they both got older by 3 years

You plug in X to the second equation to fin 2Y + Y = 21 + 6 which is 3Y = 27, so Y = 7 Then, you plug this into the first equation and find that X = 14

So Rob is 14 and Jake is 7

Hope this helps :)

(a) Suppose one house from the city will be selected at random. Use the histogram to estimate the probability that the selected
Mila [183]

Answer:

a)   0.71

b)   0.9863

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the mean prices of a house is $403,000 and the standard deviation is $278,000

-The probability the probability that the selected house is valued at less than $500,000 is obtained by summing the frequencies of prices below $500,000:

P(X

Hence, the probability of a house price below $500,000 is 0.71

b. -Let X be the mean price of a randomly selected house.

-Since the sample size 40 is greater than 30, we assume normal distribution.

-The probability can therefore be calculated as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability  that the mean value of the 40 houses is less than $500,000 is 0.9863

Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Find the number c that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval. (Enter your answers as a comma-
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The number c is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean Value Theorem:

If f is a continuous function in a bounded interval [0,4], there is at least one value of c in (a,b) for which:

f(c) = \frac{1}{b-a}\int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx

In this problem, we have that:

f(x) = x, a = 0, b = 4

So f(c) = c

----------

f(c) = \frac{1}{b-a}\int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx

c = \frac{1}{4-0}\int\limits^0_4 {x} \, dx

c = \frac{1}{4-0}*8

c = 2

The number c is 2.
