E weighs 5 pounds more than twice B weight. If their total weight is 225 pounds , how much does E weigh

Answer:

E = 151 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to set up a system of equations to solve for the 2 unknowns.  The first equation is very basic, taken from the sentence "...their total weight is 225 pounds..."

This is

B + E = 225 in equation form.

Next, we know that E is twice the weight of B plus 5 (wording it a little differently helps eliminate the seeming ambiguity of the order things go in).  That looks like this algebraically:

E = 2B + 5

From above, we know that E + B = 225, so let's sub in the equivalent statement for E to get an equation with only one unknown:

B + (2B + 5) = 225 which simplifies to 3B = 220 and B = 73 1/3 pounds.

E can be found now by plugging the value of B:

E = 2(73 1/3) + 5

E = 151 2/3 pounds

An aptitude test is designed to measure leadership abilities of the test subjects. Suppose that the scores on the test are norma
Komok [63]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 0.0329 = 3.29% of the population are considered to be potential leaders.

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of 550, hence \mu = 550.
  • The standard deviation is of 125, hence \sigma = 125.

The proportion of the population considered to be potential leaders is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 780</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{780 - 550}{125}

Z = 1.84

Z = 1.84 has a p-value of 0.9671.

1 - 0.9671 = 0.0329

0.0329 = 3.29% of the population are considered to be potential leaders.
