Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Flopsy's age be represented by x.

Therefore, since Peter is one year older than four times Flopsy's age. Peter's age will be:

= (4 × x) + 1

= 4x + 1

We are further told that the sum of their ages is 19. This will be:

x + 4x + 1 = 19

5x + 1 = 19

5x = 19 - 1

5x = 18

x = 18/5

x = 3.6 years

Flopsy's age = 3.6 years

y = 4x + 1

= 4(3.6) + 1

= 14.4 + 1

= 15.4 years

Peter's age = 15.4 years

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the distribution of daily light bulb request replacement is approximately bell shaped with ;

Mean , μ = 45 ; standard deviation, σ = 3

Using the empirical formula where ;

68% of the distribution is within 1 standard deviation from the mean ;

95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviation from the mean

Lightbulb replacement numbering between ;

42 and 45

Number of standard deviations from the mean /

Z = (x - μ) / σ

(x - μ) / σ < Z < (x - μ) / σ

(42 - 45) / 3 = -1

This lies between - 1 standard deviation a d the mean :

Hence, the approximate percentage is : 68% / 2 = 34%
