Answer:

Mean age: 48

Standard deviation: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Mean

The formula for Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms

Number of terms

= 42 + 54 + 50 + 54 + 50 + 42 + 46 + 46 + 48+ 48/ 10

= 480/10

= 48

The mean age is 48

b) Standard deviation

The formula for Standard deviation =

√(x - Mean)²/n

Where n = number of terms

Standard deviation =

√[(42 - 48)² + (54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(42 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² / 10]

= √-6² + 6² + 2² + 6² + 2² + -6² + -2² + -2² + 0² + 0²/10

=√36 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 0/ 10

=√160/10

= √16

= 4

The standard deviation of the ages is 4

3 cards are chosen at random from a standard 52-card deck. what is the probability that they form a pair? (a 3-card hand is a 'p
kozerog [31]

Hello!

First of all, we have a 4/52, or 1/13 chance of selecting a pair. Then, we select 1/3 cards 3 times, so we use this as our other fraction.

\frac{1}{13}\cdot \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{39}

Therefore, we have a 1/39 or about 3%.

I hope this helps!

Can someone help me with this one? it's due today at 9pm and I really don't know it!!! ​
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Radius: 7.5 cm  ;  Diameter: 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is basically the middle "halfway" point and in this case, it has already been given, 7.5 cm. The diameter is the middle line of the circle and to find the diameter, you must multiply the radius by 2, which is essentially 7.5 cm*2, and this gives you a diameter of 15 cm.

Hope this helps! :D

How many hours did I work if I worked 7 hours and 30 minutes a day, for 15 days?
baherus [9]

Answer:

112 hours and 50 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers of mins worked in a day = 7×60+30 =450 mins

Now number of mins worked in 15 days = 450×15

= 6750 mins

to convert mins into hours divide by 60

6750÷60 = 112.50

that means total number of hours worked in 15 days = 112 hours and 50 mins

Find the missing side of the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Alik [6]

Given:

In a right angle triangle, the measures of two legs are 5 ft and 5.6 ft. The measure of the hypotenuse is x.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

(x)^2=(5)^2+(5.6)^2

x^2=25+31.36

x^2=56.36

Taking square root on both sides, we get

x=\sqrt{56.36}

x=7.50733

x\approx 7.5

The measure of missing side is 7.5 ft. Therefore, the correct option is D.
