Difference between age of oldest child and youngest child is 7 years

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to find difference between Oldest and youngest child.

Let assume Amy’s age be represented by variable A

And assume Betty’s age be represented by variable B

And assume Carl's age be represented by Variable C.

Lets first try to calculate each age from given equation.

So From Given information,

Amy's age plus Betty's age is 29 years  

A + B = 29      ------(1)

Amy's plus Carl's age is 27 years.  

A + C = 27      ------(2)  

Betty's plus Carl's age is 22 years.

B + C = 22      ------(3)

On subtracting equation (3) from (2) we get

(A + C) – (B + C) = 27 – 22

=> A – B = 5    ------(4)

On adding equation (1) and (4), we get

(A + B) + (A – B) = 29 + 5

=> 2A = 34

=> A = 17

From (1)

A + B = 29

=> 17 + B = 29

=> B = 29 – 17 = 12

From (3)

B + C = 22

=> 12 + C = 22

=> C = 22 -12 = 10

So Amy’s age A = 17, Betty’s age B = 12 and Carl’s age C = 10

So Youngest is Carl and Oldest in Amy

And <em>difference between age of oldest child and youngest child </em><em>= Amy age - Carl age</em>

= 17 – 10 = 7 years

The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of five errors per page. If more than fi
xeze [42]

Answer:

0.61596

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

λ = 5 (5 errors per page)

Poisson distribution formula :

P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!

Probability that page does not need to be retyped means that error on page is less than or equal to 5

P(x ≤ 5) = p(x = 5) + p(x = 4) +... + p(x = 0)

The individual probabilities can be obtained using the formula above or the use of a calculator

P(x ≤ 5) = 0.17547 + 0.17547 + 0.14037 + 0.08422 + 0.03369 + 0.00674

P(x ≤ 5) = 0.61596
