Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all Dev is a lazy slacker if you ask me but alright. (8 hours to do the same project it takes Tino to do in 2 hours? what?)

But in all seriousness, lets go and solve this problemo:

because it will take half the amount of time with two people you must first add 8 and two to get 10 which you divide by 2 to get 5.

I hope I am correct, my scincerest apologies if not, have a great day.

Answer:

1.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets go over what we know...

In total Tito will finish in 2 hours
Dev will finish in a whopping 8 hours.

Then, we should think about how much work they can each do in 1 hour...

Tito will do 1/2 of the work
Dev will do 1/8

Now, we have to think about it in terms of x

Tito will do x/2 of the work
Dev will do x/8

(do you see the pattern yet?)

Now we write an equation using x... it will look like this...

x/2 + x/8 = 1

(the one stands for 1 hour)

Find the common denominator (8) and multiply...

4x/8 + x/8 = 4x+x / 8 = 5x/8

Now we do 5x/8 = 1...

5x/8 = 1 ---> 5x/8 * 8 (to get rid of fraction) = 1*8 (we have to what we do to one side to the other remember that!!) ---> 5x = 8 ---> (divide both by the number of x's) 5x/5=x and 8/5 = well.. 8/5.

NOW FINALLY... WE HAVE OUR ANSWER!!! x= 8/5 = 1 3/5= 1.6 (hours)

I cannot understand this can you guys help

The mean is not the same thing as median
mean=78+81+85+87=331
mean=331/4=82.75
median is the middle number, but you have a par set of numbers, so your median will be the middle numbers 78,81,85,87 , which are 81+85=166, 166/2=83
83 is your median

What is the measure of angle 1?

frutty [35]

Sum of all the interior angles = (5-2)x180 = 540°
540 - 100 - 120 - 100 - 90 = 130°
So the last unknown angle in the polygon is 130°

Sum of all the adjacent angles on a straight line is 180°
Angle 1 = 180 - 130 = 50°

Life Expectancies In a study of the life expectancy of people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was years an

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean life expectancy, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

We have:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$ .

Sample of size n:

This means that the z-score is now, by the Central Limit Theorem:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

Find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years.
