Let Mary's age be x.

Paul is three times as old as Mary, so Paul's age would be 3x.

Peter is four times as old as Mary, so Peter's age would be 4x.

The sum of their ages is 64
⇒ Paul's age+ Peter's age+ Mary's age= 64
⇒ 3x+ 4x+ x= 64
⇒ 8x= 64
⇒ x= 64/8
⇒ x= 8

Paul's age is: 3x= 3*8= 24

Peter's age is: 4x= 4*8= 32

Final answer: Paul is 24 years old.
Peter is 32 years old.
Mary is 8 years old.

Hope this helps~

What is the z-score of a newborn who weighs 4,000 g?.
vagabundo [1.1K]

The z-score of the considered newborn having 4,000 g weight is \dfrac{4000 - \mu}{\sigma}

<h3>How to get the z scores?</h3>

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

If we have

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)

(X is following normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation  \sigma)

then it can be converted to standard normal distribution as

Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, \\\\Z \sim N(0,1)

(Know the fact that in continuous distribution, probability of a single point is 0, so we can write

P(Z \leq z) = P(Z < z) )

Also, know that if we look for Z = z in z tables, the p value we get is

P(Z \leq z) = \rm p \: value

For the considered case, the statement in the problem is missing the mean weight of the newborn and standard deviation of the data set of weights of newborn.

Thus, for them, we can consider variables in place of their actual values.

Let we have:

  • X = weights of newborns for some considered system (in grams)
  • \mu = mean weight of newborns (in grams)
  • \sigma = standard deviation of the data set of weights of newborns

Then, the z-score for X = 4000 is

z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma} = \dfrac{4000 - \mu}{\sigma}

Thus, the z-score of the considered newborn having 4,000 g weight is \dfrac{4000 - \mu}{\sigma}

blondinia [14]

Answer : The expression will be

( c - 7 ) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Adam has c pieces of candy

He took ten pieces for himself which means we can write this as c-7

He then divided this amount between his 3 children (c-7)/3
