Given:

Total number of marbles in the bag = 150

There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.

To find:

The number of blue marbles in the bag.

Solution:

Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.

Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.

Total number of marbles in the bag = 150

21x+4x=150

25x=150

Divide both sides by 25.

x=\dfrac{150}{25}

x=6

Now,

\text{Blue marbles}=21x

\text{Blue marbles}=21(6)

\text{Blue marbles}=126

Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

μ = 235.38

σ = 234.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the table is as follows:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}Savings&Frequency\\\$0-\$199&339\\\$200-\$399&86\\\$400-\$599&55\\\$600-\$799&18\\\$800-\$999&11\\\$1000-\$1199&8\\\$1200-\$1399&3\end{array}\right]

This is an example of grouped data, where a range of values is given rather than a single data point.  First, find the total frequency.

n = 339 + 86 + 55 + 18 + 11 + 8 + 3

n = 520

The mean is the expected value using the midpoints of each range.

μ = (339×100 + 86×300 + 55×500 + 18×700 + 11×900 + 8×1100 + 3×1300) / 520

μ = 122400 / 520

μ = 235.38

The variance is:

σ² = [(339×100² + 86×300² + 55×500² + 18×700² + 11×900² + 8×1100² + 3×1300²) − (520×235.38²)] / (520 − 1)

σ² = 55009.7

The standard deviation is:

σ = 234.54

the excursion boat on the river takes 2 1/2 hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles up stream and to return. If the rate at w
MissTica
Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going 
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C

Time = distance/Rate,  (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C

Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:

12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
 5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
