Answer:

40 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Uncle Jason's age = x
  • Nephew Ralph age = y
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Age now:</u>

  • x= 2y

<u>Age 10 years ago: </u>

  • x- 10 = 3(y-10)

<u>Substituting x in the second equation:</u>

  • 2y - 10 = 3y - 30
  • 3y - 2y = 30 -10
  • y = 20

<u>Then, finding x:</u>

  • x= 2y
  • x= 2*20
  • x= 40

<u>Answer:</u> Uncle Jason is 40 and nephew Ralph is 20 years old

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a) 0.0255

b) 0.7050

c) 0.2945

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that one of those sampled saying that Roosevelt was the best president since World War II = 330/2062 = 0.16

Probability that one of those sampled don't mention Roosevelt = (2062 - 330)/2062 = 1732/2062 = 0.84

a) The probability that both adults picked say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II = (330/2062) × (329/2061) = 0.0255

b) The probability that neither of the two adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II = (1732/2062) × (1731/2061) = 0.7050

c) The probability that at least one of the two adults says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II = Probability that one of the two adults mention Roosevelt + Probability that the two adults mention Roosevelt

Probability that one of the adults mention Roosevelt = [(330/2062) × (1732/2061)] + [(1732/2062) × (330/2061)] = 0.269

Probability that two of the adults mention Roosevelt has been done in (a) and it is equal to 0.0255

probability that at least one of the two adults says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II = 0.269 + 0.0255 = 0.2945
