The age of Blain is 23 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"

Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age

So we can frame a equation as:

age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)

a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1

Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain

Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16

b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

a = 2 + 3(a - 16)

a = 2 + 3a - 48

a - 3a = -46

-2a = -46

a = 23

Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old

Which of the following has a constant of proportionality of 2? A) y = 2x B) y = x + 2 C) 2y = x D) y + 2 = 2x
Setler [38]

The correct answer is A.


You have direct variation if x and y are modeled by the equation


y = mx


In this case, m is the constant of proportionality. So, if the constant has to be 2, the equation becomes


y = 2x


A side note: Actually, option C has a constant of proportionality of two as well, except the roles of x and y are interchanged. I chose option A because usually you want the y = mx form, but the names of the variables are obviously meaningless.

X has a normal distribution with the given mean and standard deviation. Find the indicated probability. (Round your answer to fo
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.6247

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a Z-score is Z = (X - μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the question,

μ = 51, σ = 10. We are to find P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56)

Step 1

Find the Probability of X ≤ 36

μ = 51, σ = 10

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Z = 36 - 51/ 10

Z = -15/10

Z = -1.5

We find the Probability of Z = -1.5 from Z-Table

P(X <36) = P(X = 36) = P(Z = -1.5)

= 0.066807

Step 2

Find the Probability of X ≤ 56

μ = 51, σ = 10

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Z = 56 - 51/ 10

Z = 5/10

Z = 0.5

We find the Probability of Z = 0.5 from Z-Table:

P(X < 56) = P(X = 56) = P(Z = 0.5)= 0.69146

Step 3

Find P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56)

P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56) = P(X ≤ 56) - P(X ≤ 36)

= P( Z = 0.5) - P(Z = -1.5)

= 0.69146 - 0.066807

= 0.624653

Approximately to 4 decimal places , P(36 ≤ X ≤ 56) = 0.6247

Attachment is shown in the bottom
Leokris [45]

Answer: She is correct because each ratio is equivalent to 5:1, except for the last one, which is 1:5

5/1 = 5:1

10/2 = 5:1

25/5 = 5:1

10/50 = 1:5
