Mathematics
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

9 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dotty is 51 years old and Esmerelda is 23 now.

Now, x years ago the age of Dotty was (51 - x) years and the age of Esmerelda was (23 - x) years.

Assume that x years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age.

So, we can write the equation as

3(23 - x) = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 3x = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 51 = 3x - x

⇒ 18 = 2x

⇒ x = 9 years.

Therefore, 9 years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age. (Answer)

A set of numbers satisfies Benford’s Law if the probability of a number starting with digit d is P(d) = log(d + 1) – log(d).
irakobra [83]

Interpreting the graph and the situation, it is found that the values of d that can be included in the solution set are 1 and 4.

----------------------

  • According to Benford's law, the probability of a number starting with digit is d is:

P(d) = \log{(d + 1}} - \log{d}

  • A number can start with 10 possible digits, ranging from 1 to 9, which are all integer digits.
  • Thus, d can only assume integer digits.
  • In the graph, the solution is d < 5.
  • The integer options for values of d are 1 and 4.
  • For the other options that are less than 5, they are not integers, so d cannot assume those values.
