Kevin is 4 times as old as Daniel and is also 6 years older than Daniel. How old is Kevin?

1 answer:

5 0

There are numerous important information's already given in the question. Based on these information's, the answer can be deduced.
Let us assume the age of Daniel = x years
Let us assume the age of Kevin = y years
Then
y = 4x
and
y = x + 6
So
4x = x + 6
4x - x = 6
3x = 6
x = 6/3
= 2 years
So
Age of Kevin = 4 * 2 years
= 8 years

Public opinion in the large city of Bedrock is that 60 percent of the residents are in favor of increasing taxes to fund alterna

uysha [10]

Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of residents are against the increase of taxes to fund alternatives to drug addiction treatment.

As per given , we have p=0.40

A random sample is taken with size : n= 400

Expecting sample proportion : $\hat{p}=\dfrac{150}{400}=0.375$

Now , the probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed will be :

$P(p>0.375)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})$

$=P(z>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]$

$=P(z>-1.02)=P(z-z)=P(Z$

$\approx0.8461$ [By z-table]

Hence, the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed is 0.8461 .

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is 0.24

To calculate this, a multiplication rule is used. The multiplication rule calculates the probability that both of two events will occur. In this method, the probabilities of each event are multiplied. Here we have two events:

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy,

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl.

So, let's calculate these probabilities:

There are in total 5 children:

2 boys + 3 girls = 5 children.

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy is 2 boys out of 5 children, which is 2/5.

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl is 3 girls out of 5 children, which is 3/5.

The probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl is:

2/5 × 3/5 = 6/25

6/25 × 4/4 = 24/100 = 0.24

ky has 3 times more books than grant and grant has 6 fewer books than Jaime if the total combined number of books is 176 how man

sergiy2304 [10]

Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
