Answer:

  60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of stickers Sophia has. Then the number Ethan has is (2/3)s. The transfer of 16 stickers can be described by the equation ...

  (s -16)/(2/3s +16) = 1/2 . . . . . sophia/ethan = 1/2 after the transfer

  2s -32 = 2/3s +16 . . . . . . . . .cross multiply

  4/3s = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-2/3s

  s = (48)(3/4) = 36 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 3/4

Together, the total number of stickers held is s +(2/3)s = (5/3)s.

  5/3s = (5/3)(36) = 60 . . . . . total of Sophia's and Ethan's stickers

Together, Sophia and Ethan have 60 stickers.

You and your mom enter a drawing with 3 different prizes. A total of 9 people entered the drawing, and prizes are awarded random
julsineya [31]

Answer:

\frac{1}{72}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are total 9 people who entered the drawing competition. There are 3 prizes to be distributed to the winners. The total number of ways that 3 prizes can be awarded to the 9 people can be determined as 9*8*7 = 504.

The total number of ways in which I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 1*1*7 = 7.

Therefore, the probability that I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be: \frac{7}{504}=\frac{1}{72}

In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for 5,000 fatal
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean speed (m) = 46

Standard deviation (s) = 13

Approximately what percentage of vehicle speeds were between 33 and 59 mph

Obtain the Zscore for P(Z < x) for both values and subtract :

For x = 33

Zscore :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (33 - 46) / 13 = - 1

p(Z < - 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

For x = 59

Zscore :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (59 - 46) / 13 = 1

p(Z < 1) = 0.84134 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence, 0.84134 - 0.15866 = 0.68268 = 0.68

0.68 * 100% = 68%
