Brian and Colin win some money and share it in the ratio 5:1. Brian gets £50. How much did Colin get?

7 0

Add the the ratio 5:1

It will be 5+1=6

Remember that 6 is the total ratio equivalent to £50 and we only wanted to obtain Collins gain so you say

Collins is represented with the ratio 1 while Brian 5

If 6=£50 what about 1
1×£50/6 which you will give you £8.3

Answer:

£10

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the amount Brian gets by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£50 ÷ 5 = £10 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

Colin gets 1 part of the ratio, that is £10

Answer: No it's not possible to form a triangle

Why not? Because the shorter sides 2 ft and 3 ft don't add to a result longer than 7 ft

2+3 = 5

For a triangle to be possible, the sum of any two sides must be larger than the third side. Refer to the triangle inequality theorem.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

2.28% probability that the mean amount of their monthly cell phone bills is more than $60

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
