1 answer:

The number of boys . . . . . B
Twice the number of boys . . . 2B
4 more than twice the number of boys . . . 2B+4

You said that the number of girls is equal to that, so . . . G = 2B+4

But you also told us what G is: 16 = 2B+4

Subtract 4 from each side: 12 = 2B

Divide each side by 2 : 6 = B

There you have it. There are 6 boys in the club.

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST The frequency f (in waves per second) and the wavelength w (in meters) of a sound traveling

marshall27 [118]

You gave us the speed and the frequency, and you need the wavelength.

You were also nice enough to remind us that (fqy)x(lng) = speed.

So . . . F x W = 343 m/s

Divide each side by F :

W = (343 m/s) / F

W = (343 m/s) / (240 / s)

W = (343/240) m

<em>W = 1.429 meters</em>

A recent study found that the life expectancy of a people living in Africa is normally distributed with an average of 53 years w

Sergio [31]

Answer:

P(X<65)=0.9452

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem.

-Given the mean age is 53 years and the standard deviation is 75, the probability of dying before age 65 is calculated as:

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\\\=\frac{65-53}{7.5}\\\\=1.60$

#We check the value of z=1.60 on the z table:

$P(X$

Hence, the probability of dying before 65 is 0.9452
