Grandpa Collins is 2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua. If Grandpa Collins is 77 years old, how old is Joshua?

Mathematics

KiRa [710]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3 years old is Joshua.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represents the age of Grandpa Collins and x represents the age of grandson Joshua.

As per the given statement: Grandpa Collins is 2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua.

"25 times as his grandson Joshua" means 25x

"2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua" means 25x +2

⇒ y = 25x + 2                   ......[1]

Also, it is given : Grandpa Collins is 77 years old

⇒ y = 77 years

Substitute y =77 in [1] to solve for x;

77 = 25x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides of an equation:

77 -2 =25x+2 -2

Simplify:

75 = 25x

Divide both sides by 25, we get;

\frac{75}{25} =\frac{25x}{25}

Simplify:

3 = x

Therefore, the age of Joshua is, 3 years old.

Absorption rates into the body are important considerations when manufacturing a generic version of a brand-name drug. A pharmac
Darya [45]

Answer:

Correct option: (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

A null hypothesis is a hypothesis of no difference. It is symbolized by <em>H₀</em>.

A Type I error is the probability of rejection of the null hypothesis of a test when indeed the the null hypothesis is true.

The type I error is also known as the significance level of the test.

It is symbolized by P (type I error) = <em>α</em>.

In this case the researcher wants to determine whether the absorption rate into the body of a new generic drug (G) is the same as its brand-name counterpart (B) or not.

The hypothesis for this test can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The absorption rate into the body of a new generic drug and its brand-name counterpart is same.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The absorption rate into the body of a new generic drug and its brand-name counterpart is not same.

The type I error will be committed when the null hypothesis is rejected when in fact it is true.

That is, a type I error will be made when the the results conclude that the absorption rate into the body for both the drugs is not same, when in fact the absorption rate is same for both.

Thus, the correct option is (<em>D</em>).

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 476 grams and a standard deviation of 36 grams. The heavie
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 476 grams, standard deviation (σ) = 36 grams. P(z) = 19%

The z score shows by how many standard deviation the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by the equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Since the 19% weigh more, therefore 81% (100% - 19%) weigh less.

From the normal distribution table, the z score that corresponds to a probability of 81%(0.81) = 0.87

We substitute z = 0.88 in the z score equation to find the raw score. Therefore:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.87=\frac{x-476}{36}\\ x-476=31.32\\x=31.32+476\\x=507.32\\

x ≅ 507 grams

Therefore 19% of fruits weigh more than 507 grams

Match each whole number with a rational, exponential expression. 1. 512 2. 8 3. 343 4. 216 5. 729 6.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1. 2^9 = 512

2. 2^3 = 8

3. 7^3 = 343

4. 6^3 = 216

5. 3^6 = 729

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to express the number as a multiplication of prime numbers, from there we can take the expression as a power

1.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 512

2^9 = 512

2.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8

2^3 = 8

3.

7 x 7 x 7 = 343

7^3 = 343

4.

6 x 6 x 6 = 216

6^3 = 216

5.

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729

3^6 = 729

5x + 3y = -2<br> 3x + 2y = -1
Effectus [21]

Answer:

(-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y= -2,  x= -1/3 - 2/3y

5( -1/3 - 2/3y) +3y= -2

y= 1

x= -1/3 - 2/3 × 1

x= -1

The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard devi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = length of time

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 2.5 hours

s = 0.25 hours

We want to find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.. It is expressed as

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

For x = 2,

z = (2 - 2.5)/0.25 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

For x = 3,

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.25 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.97725

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545
