Answer:

Father's age is 50, Son's age is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=60

X-Y= 40

Let X represent the Father's age while Y represents the Son's age;

therefore, from the two equations, the value of X is

X= 60-Y

X= 40+Y  then putting in the value of x

(40+Y) + Y= 60,

40+2Y=60

2Y=60-40 =20

Y= 10,

Now that we know the value of Y, we can get the value of x

If X+Y=60, then

X+10=60,

X=60-10,

X= 50

Answer:

Father = 50 years old

Son = 10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Father's age = x

The sum of their age is 60 years old.

Son's age = 60 - x

Given that their difference is 40 years old.

x - (60 - x) = 40

x - 60 + x = 40

2x - 60 = 40

2x = 100

x = 50

Father's age

= x

= 50 years old

Son's age

= 60 - x

= 60 - 50

= 10 years old

The given term is 6n-38,<br> can u find the first four terms in the sequence
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

- 32, - 26, - 20, - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 4 terms , substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4 into the rule

a₁ = 6(1) - 38 = 6 - 38 = - 32

a₂ = 6(2) - 38 = 12 - 38 = - 26

a₃ = 6(3) - 38 = 18 - 38 = - 20

a₄ = 6(4) - 38 = 24 - 38 = - 14

A certain plant runs three shifts per day. Of all the items produced by the plant, 50% of them are produced on the first shift,
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Defective

Event B: Manufactured during the first shift.

Probability of a defective item:

1% of 50%(first shift)

2% of 30%(second shift)

3% of 20%(third shift).

So

P(A) = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.3 + 0.03*0.2 = 0.017

Probability of a defective item being produced on the first shift:

1% of 50%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.01*0.5 = 0.005

What is the probability that it was manufactured during the first shift?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.005}{0.017} = 0.2941

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.
