Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Devaughn's age is D, and Sydney's age is S.

We know that D is 7 greater than S, so D = 7 + S.

We know that the sum of their ages, or D + S, is equal to 95, so D+S = 95

We have

D = 7 + S

D + S = 95

What we can do is plug D= 7 + S into the second equation to get

D + S = 95

= (7+ S) + S

= 7 + 2 * S

7+2 * S - 95

subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the coefficient and the variable

2 * S = 88

divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

S = 44

Sydney is therefore 44 years old

A company that sells annuities must base the annual payout on the probability distribution of the length of life of the particip

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be length of life of the participants in the plan.

Given that X is N(68,3.5)

We convert this to standard normal score z using

$z=\frac{x-68}{3.5}$

a) proportion of the plan recipients that would receive payments beyond age 75= $P(X\geq 75) = P(Z\geq 2)\\= 0.025$

b) proportion of the plan recipients die before they reach the standard retirement age of 65= $P(X\leq 65) = P(z\leq -0.86)\\=0.5-0.2764\\=0.2236$

c) x for 86% ceased

$P(Z$

-3(y-5) simplify please

Im pretty sure its 8y because two negatives equal a positive so 5 plus 3 and then you isolated the y so 8y. :)

Sabiendo que lo ancho de un terreno rectangular mide 24.7 m y que su perímetro es de 131.8 m. ¿Cuánto mide cada uno de sus lados

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

El perímetro de un terreno rectangular mide 48 m . Calcula sus dimensiones si el largo es el doble que el ancho.

Respuesta:

De largo mide 16m

De ancho mide 8m

Explicación paso a paso:

Perímetro = número de lados multiplicado por longitud del lado.

Formula: P = 2(a + b) o P = 2b + 2h

Donde: P = Rectángulo del perímetro

a y b = Longitudes de lados

Asignamos las variables:

Largo = 2x

Ancho = x

Utilizamos la formula:

2(x) + 2(2x) = 48

2x + 4x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8m (ancho)

2(8)

16m (largo)
