Answer:

79 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say your age is x.

The problem says "500 reduced by 4 times my age is 184", so we convert this to math:

- "4 times my age" ⇒ 4 * x = 4x

- "500 reduced by" ⇒ 500 - (something)

- "500 reduced by 4 times my age" ⇒ 500 - 4x

- "is 184" ⇒ = 184

- "500 reduced by 4 times my age is 184" ⇒ 500 - 4x = 184

Now, we simply solve for x:

500 - 4x = 184

4x = 500 - 184 = 316

x = 79

Thus, you are 79 years old.

Hope this helps!

At 11 p.M., it was 48°F. The temperature was 6° cooler by 7 a.M. By 11 a.M. The temperature was 48°F again. What integer represe

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

6°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Temperature at 11pm = 48°F

Temperature at 7am = 6° cooler

Temperature at 11am = 48°F

Number of degrees temperature changed from 7am to 11 am

Exact temperature at 7am = (temperature at 11 pm - 6°)

= 48°F - 6°F

= 42°F

Temperature change from 7am to 11am

Temperature at 11 am - temperature at 7am

48°F - 42°F

= 6°F

∠1 and ∠2 are complementary. If m∠1 = 4m∠2, find m∠1

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

∠1 = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90°, thus

∠1 + ∠2 = 90, substitute ∠1 = 4∠2 , thus

4∠2 + ∠2 = 90

5∠2 = 90 ( divide both sides by 5 )

∠2 = 18°

Hence ∠1 = 90 - 18 = 72°

The random variable X is exponentially distributed, where X represents the waiting time to be seated at a restaurant during the

erastova [34]

Answer:

The probability that the wait time is greater than 14 minutes is 0.4786.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the waiting time to be seated at a restaurant during the evening.

The average waiting time is, β = 19 minutes.

The random variable X follows an Exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{19}$ .

The probability distribution function of X is:

$f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

Compute the value of the event (X > 14) as follows:

$P(X>14)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{14} {\lambda e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx=\lambda \int\limits^{\infty}_{14} {e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx\\=\lambda |\frac{e^{-\lambda x}}{-\lambda}|^{\infty}_{14}=e^{-\frac{1}{19} \times14}-0\\=0.4786$

Thus, the probability that the wait time is greater than 14 minutes is 0.4786.
