Answer: 45 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Father's age is thrice the sum of ages of his two children

- After five years, his age will be twice the sum of their ages

Let x be the two children's current age and 3x be the father's current age

Solve:

Set equation

3x + 5 = 2 ( x + 10 )

Expand parenthesis

3x + 5 = 2x + 20

Subtract 5 on both sides

3x + 5 - 5 = 2x + 20 - 5

3x = 2x + 15

Subtract 2x on both sides

3x - 2x = 15

x = 15

15 × 3 = 45 years old

Hope this helps!! :)

Graph the line passing through the given point and having the given slope (0,3), m=4

andriy [413]

Hint :-

To find out the equation of the line we can use the point slope form of the line which is $y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Solution :-

The given point to us is , $(0,3)$ and the slope of the line is 4 . On using the point slope form , we have ,

$\implies y - y_1= m(x-x_1) \\\\\implies y-3 = 4(x-0) \\\\\implies y -3 = 4x \\\\\implies \boxed{ 4x - y + 3 =0}$

Hence the equation is 4x - y + 3 = 0 

( for graph , see attachment ) .

A bank's loan officer rates applicants for credit.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

$a=200 +0.253*50=212.65$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 60% of data from the top 40% is 212.65. And rounded would be 212.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the loan officer rates applicants for a credit of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(200,50)$

Where $\mu=200$ and $\sigma=50$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.40$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.60 of the area on the left and 0.40 of the area on the right it's z=0.253. On this case P(Z<0.253)=0.60 and P(z>0.253)=0.4

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(Z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=0.253$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=200 +0.253*50=212.65$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 60% of data from the top 40% is 212.65. And rounded would be 212.7.
