Answer:

Jake's age = 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mindy is 39 years old. Mindy's age is 3 years older than two times Jake's age.

To find : How old is Jake.

Solution : We have given Mindy is 39 years old.

Let the Jake's age = x .

According to question :

Mindy's age is 3 years older than two times Jake's age.

Mindy's age = 2x ( Two times of Jake's age )

Mindy's age = 2x + 3 ( Three more than Jake's age ) .

39 = 2x + 3 .

On subtracting both sides by 3

39 -3 = 2x .

36 = 2x .

On Dividing both sides by 2 .

18 = x

Therefore, Jake's age = 18.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
