Let the total toys be x.

The first has (1/10)x =  x/10


The third child has one more toys than the first =  x/10  + 1

The fourth has double of the third:  =  2* (x/10 + 1)  =  2x/10 + 2


Since we know that the second child has 12 more toys than the first

Therefore the Second  minus First = 12.


First let us find the second.

1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = x

x/10   +  2nd +  (x/10 + 1) + (2x/10 + 2) = x

2nd + x/10  + x/10 + 1 + 2x/10 + 2 = x

2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 2x/10 + 1 + 2  = x

2nd + 4x/10 + 3 = x

2nd = x - 4x/10 - 3

2nd =  6x/10  - 3

But recall

2nd - 1st = 12

6x/10 - 3 - x/10 = 12

6x/10 - x/10 = 12 + 3

5x/10 = 15

5x =  15 * 10

x  = 15*10 /5

x = 30

So there were 30 toys in all.

If the mean of a normally distributed population is -10 with a standard deviation of 2, what is the likelihood of obtaining a va
ira [324]

Answer:

93.32% probability of obtaining a value less than or equal to -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = -10, \sigma = 2

What is the likelihood of obtaining a value less than or equal to -7?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = -7.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{-7 -(-10)}{2}

Z = \frac{3}{2}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332.

So there is a 93.32% probability of obtaining a value less than or equal to -7.

If a photocopier makes copies in 1/3 s, then at the same rate, how many copies does it make in 4 minutes?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

80 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

4 minutes= 240 seconds. So I did 240 seconds divided by 3 seconds (one copy is made in that time) then you get 80. I don't know if that explanation make sense but the math checks out.

Can some one tell me answer
Tanya [424]

Answer:

d = 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

d × 5 = 17

Divide by 5 from both sides,

\frac{d(5)}{5}=\frac{17}{5}

d = 3.4
