Answer:

son is 12

dad is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the son is x years old.

Then the father is 3x. Also 3x+x must be 48.

So 4x = 48 => x= 48/4 = 12

Let x be how old the son is. We know that the dad is 3 times older and their sum is 48. Creating an equation to represent this situation gives us:

x+3x=48

4x=48

Divide both sides by 4

x=12

The son is 12 years old, but we want to find the age of the dad. Since we know the dad is 3 times older, multiply 12 with 3

12 \times 3 = 36

The dad is 36 years old. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Hi there! 
So to get this we just need to multiply 300 by 5 because it is 1/5 of the hour work. 300 x 5 = 1500 light bulbs. Hope this helps!

A 90% confidence interval for u using the sample results X = 131.2, s=55 , and n= 50 Round your answer for the point estimate to
Ilya [14]

Answer:

131.2 ;

12.8 ;

(118.4, 144)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

X = 131.2, s=55 , and n= 50

Point estimate of the mean :

Since, sample size is large (n > 30) ; the sample mean = population mean according to the center limit theorem :

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s / sqrt(n)

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Margin of Error : 1.645 * (55 / sqrt(50))

Margin of Error : 1.645 * 7.7781745

Margin of Error = 12.795097

Margin of Error = 12.8

The confidence interval (C.I) :

C.I = x ± margin of error

C. I = 131.2 ± 12.8

(131.2 - 12.8) ; (131.2 + 12.8)

(118.4, 144)

What are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 0 = = x2 – 3x – 2?<br> a=1 h=30-2
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

  • a = 1
  • b = -3
  • c = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation is often written as ...

  ax² +bx +c = 0

The references to "a", "b", and "c" are to the coefficients in this form. Comparing this to your equation ...

  x²-3x -2 = 0

we see that the coefficient of x², is 1, so a=1; the coefficient of x is -3, so b=-3, and the constant is -2, so c=-2.
