$\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{2}x+22=x|\cdot12\\
3x+2x+6x+264=12x\\
x=264

$

I guess there's a mistake in the question.

There are three executives in an office, ages 56, 57, and 58. If a 57-year-old executive enters the room, the

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

option (c) The mean age will stay the same but the variance will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Case I: For 3 executives of ages 56, 57 and 58

Number of executives, n = 3

Mean = $\frac{\textup{56 + 57 + 58 }}{\textup{3}}$

or

Mean = 57

Variance = $\frac{\sum{(Data - Mean)^2}}{\textup{n-1}}$

or

Variance = $\frac{(56 - 57)^2+(57-57)^2+(58-57)^2}{\textup{3-1}}$

or

Variance = $\frac{1+0+1}{\textup{2}}$

or

Variance = 1

For Case II: For 4 executives of ages 56, 57, 58 and 57

Number of executives, n = 4

Mean = $\frac{\textup{56 + 57 + 58 + 57 }}{\textup{4}}$

or

Mean = 57

Variance = $\frac{\sum{(Data - Mean)^2}}{\textup{n-1}}$

or

Variance = $\frac{(56 - 57)^2+(57-57)^2+(58-57)^2+(57-57)^2}{\textup{4-1}}$

or

Variance = $\frac{1+0+1+0}{\textup{3}}$

or

Variance = 0.67

Hence,

Mean will remain the same and the variance will decrease

Hence,

The correct answer is option (c) The mean age will stay the same but the variance will decrease

Jim and Em baked 33 macaroons.

bearhunter [10]

Answer: 19 macaroons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation to represent this situation. Let x represent the number of macaroons that Em made.

33=x+x+5

33=2x+5

33-5=2x+5-5

28=2x

28/2=2x/2

14=x

This means that Em made 14 macaroons.

14+5=19

Therefore, Jim baked 19 macaroons.
