Answer:

Son's age is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Father's age be 2x.

Let the son's age be x.

Five years ago:

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then:

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

⇒ 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

⇒ 8x - 20 = 9x - 45

⇒ -20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

⇒ 25 = x

∴ x = 25

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50 years

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Ans=

A: For m = 5: P(³≥1) = 1 – P(³=0) = 1 – 0.9973^5 = 0.0134

M = 10: 1 – 0.9973^10 = 0.0267

M = 20: 1 – 0.9973^20 = 0.0526

M = 30: 1 – 0.9973^30 = 0.0779

M = 50: 1 – 0.9973^50 = 0.126

18)

Ans=

Going by the question and the explanation above, we derived sample values of the mean as well as standard deviation in calculating our probability, since that is the necessary value in determining the probability of an out-of-bounds point being plotted. Furthermore, we would know that that value for the possibility would likely be a poor es²ma²on, cas²ng doubt on anycalcula²ons we made using those values
