Answer: 276 guests were at the wedding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of guests that were at the wedding.

The guests had to choose their meal from beef,chicken or vegetarian.

1/3 of the guests chose beef. This means that the number of guests that chose beef is x/3.

If 5/12 of the guests chose chicken, it means that the number of guests that chose chicken is 5x/12. The total number of guests that chose beef and chicken is

x/3 + 5x/12 = 9x/12

The number of guests that chose vegetarian is

x - 9x/12 = 3x/12

69 of the guests chose vegetarian. This means that

3x/12 = 69

3x = 12 × 69 = 828

x = 828/3

x = 276 guests

You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.

This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.

Answer:

A. If 100 pregnant individuals were selected independently from this​ population, we would expect nothing pregnancies to last less than 184184 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean, standard deviation, and population size can be used for the analysis. In the problem above, the population size is 100 and the estimated number of days for no pregnancy to occur is less than approximately 184 days. This shows that there will not be any pregnancy for any given day that is below the 184th day.
