Agatha is five times older than her son bob. three years ago she was nine times older. how old is agatha?

1 answer:

4 0

Write an equation system based on the problem
"Agatha is five times older than her son, Bob" could be written as:
a = 5b.......(first equation)
"Three years ago, she was nine times older" could be written as:
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)......(second equation)

Solve the equation system
To find the value of b, substitute 5b as a to the second equation
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9b - 27
5b - 9b = -27 + 3
-4b = -24
b = -24/-4
b = 6
Her son, Bob, is 6 years old

To find Agatha's age, substitute the value of b to the first equation
a = 5b
a = 5 × 6
a = 30
Agatha is 30 years old

You are playing in a fantasy football league and Lamar Jackson scored 45 fantasy points. If he keeps his average of 28 fantasy p

jekas [21]

Answer:

213 points

The y-intercept is how many points Jackson already scored, and the slope is how many points he is scoring every game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson earns 28 points per game, so after 6 games, he earns 168 points (just multiply 6 by 28). He already scored 45 points, so if you add them together, he scored a total of 213 points.

The y-intercept is 45, what he already scored, and the slope is 28, how many points he scores per game.

Hope I helped!!!

Ramon earns $1,735 each month and pays $53.10 on electricity. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what perfect of ramons earnings

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{3.1 \, \%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating percentage is

$\text{Percentage} = \dfrac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100 \, \%$

The "part" is the electricity payment.

The "whole" is Ramon's earnings.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{\% of earnings} & = & \dfrac{53.10}{1735} \times 100 \, \% \\\\& = & \mathbf{3.1 \, \%}\\\end{array}\\\boxed{\mathbf{3.1 \, \%}} \text{ of Ramon's earnings are on electricity}$

A company receives shipments of a component used in the manufacture of a component for a high-end acoustic speaker system. When

Tanya [424]

Answer:

$ME= 2.33*\sqrt{\frac{0.096*(1-0.096)}{250}}= 0.0434$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a sample size of n = 250 units and in this sample they found that 24 units failed one or more of the tests.

We are interested in the proportion of units that fail to meet the company's specifications, and we can estimate this with:

$\hat p = \frac{24}{250}= 0.096$

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 98% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2=0.01$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

And the margin of error would be:

$ME= 2.33*\sqrt{\frac{0.096*(1-0.096)}{250}}= 0.0434$
