Answer:

Age of Eva = 15 Years

Age of Carrie = 45 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Eva be X years

Given that Carrie is 3 times as old as Eva

Therefore age of Carrie = 3X YEARS.

__________________________________________________________

After 15 years

Age of Eva = X + 15

Age of Carrie = 3X +15

Given that Carrie is twice as old as Eva

so according to this condition

age of Carrie = 2*Age of Eva

Substituting the age of Eva and Carrie

3X +15 = 2*(X + 15 )

=> 3X +15 = 2X +30

=> 3X - 2X = 30 - 15

=> X = 15

Since X was assumed age of Eva so age of Eva is 15 years

age of Carrie = 3X years = 3*15 = 45 years.

Answer:

y= 1/3 x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we take two points

(0,5) and (15,10)

The slope is found by the formula

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (10-5)/(15-0)

= 5/15

= 1/3

The slope is 1/3

The y intercept is found when x=0

When x=0 y=5

The slope intercept form of the line is

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y= 1/3 x +5

Answer: 0.03855

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :A population of skiers has a distribution of weights with mean 190 pounds and standard deviation 40 pounds.

Its maximum safe load is 10000 pounds.

Let X denotes the weight of 50 people.

As per given ,

Population mean weight of 50 people = $\mu=50\times190=9500\text{ pounds}$

Standard deviation of 50 people $=\sigma=40\sqrt{50}=40(7.07106781187)=282.84$

Then , the probability its maximum safe load will be exceeded =

$P(X>10000)=P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{10000-9500}{282.84})\\\\=P(z>1.7671-8)\\\\=1-P(z\leq1.7678)\ \ \ \ [\because\ P(Z>z)=P(Z\leq z)]\\\\=1-0.96145\ \ \ [\text{ By p-value of table}]\\\\=0.03855$

Thus , the probability its maximum safe load will be exceeded = 0.03855
