Bag A contains red, white and blue marbles such that the red to white marble ratio is 1:3 and the white to blue marble ratio is

2:3. Bag B contains red and white marbles in the ratio of 1:4. Together, the two bags contain 30 white marbles. How many red marbles could be in bag A?

Answer:

There are 6 red marbles in Bag A.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Bag A</u>

Red to white marble ratio is 1:3

White to blue marble ratio is 2:3

If we match the amount of white marbles between both ratios we can put together a three-term ratio.

Red to White 2:6

White to Blue 6:9

Red to White to Blue 2:6:9

Then, the total amount of marbles in bag A is given by:

A= 2·x + 6·x + 9·x

<u>Bag B</u>

B= 1·x + 4·x

White marbles

Since the two bags contain 30 white marbles:

30=A_W+B_W= 6·x + 4·x=10x ⇒ x=3

Then,

A_R:red marbles in bag A

A_R=2·x=2·3=6

There are 6 red marbles in Bag A.

Define z_alpha to be a z-score with an area of alpha to the right. For Example: z_0.10 means P(Z &gt; z_0.10) = 0.10. We would a
Reptile [31]

Answer:

a) P(-z_0.025 < Z < z_0.025)

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

And for this case the two values are :z_{crit}= \pm 1.96

b) P(-z_{\alpha/2} < Z < z_{\alpha/2})

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

c) For this case we want to find a value of z that satisfy:

P(Z > z_alpha) = 0.05.

And we can use the following excel code:

"=NORM.INV(0.95,0,1)"

And we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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 Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Part a

P(-z_0.025 < Z < z_0.025)

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)"

And for this case the two values are :z_{crit}= \pm 1.96

Part b

P(-z_{\alpha/2} < Z < z_{\alpha/2})

For this case we want a quantile that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on the tails of the normal standard distribution, and for this case we can calculate the z value with the following excel codes:

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

"=NORM.INV(alpha/2,0,1)"

Part c

For this case we want to find a value of z that satisfy:

P(Z > z_alpha) = 0.05.

And we can use the following excel code:

"=NORM.INV(0.95,0,1)"

And we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

Answer:

1) AD=BC(corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

2)The value of x and y are 65 ° and 77.5° respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Given : AD||BC

AC bisects BD

So, AE=EC and BE=ED

We need to prove AD = BC

In ΔAED and ΔBEC

AE=EC (Given)

\angle AED = \angel BEC ( Vertically opposite angles)

BE=ED (Given)

So, ΔAED ≅ ΔBEC (By SAS)

So, AD=BC(corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

Hence Proved

2)

Refer the attached figure

\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}

In ΔDBC

BC=DC (Given)

So,\angle CDB=\angle DBC(Opposite angles of equal sides are equal)

So,\angle CDB=\angle DBC=x

So,\angle CDB+\angle DBC+\angle BCD = 180^{\circ} (Angle sum property)

x+x+50=180

2x+50=180

2x=130

x=65

So,\angle CDB=\angle DBC=x = 65^{\circ}

Now,

\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}\\\angle ABC=\angle ABD+\angle DBC=\angle ABD+x=90

So,\angle ABD=90-x=90-65=25^{\circ}

In ΔABD

AB = BD (Given)

So,\angle BAD=\angle BDA(Opposite angles of equal sides are equal)

So,\angle BAD=\angle BDA=y

So,\angle BAD+\angle BDA+\angle ABD = 180^{\circ}(Angle Sum property)

y+y+25=180

2y=180-25

2y=155

y=77.5

So, The value of x and y are 65 ° and 77.5° respectively
