Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the current ages:

father= 32 yrs old

son=5 yrs old

-------

4(5+x) = 32+x

20+4x = 32+x

4x-x = 32–20

3x =12

x = 12/3

x = 4 years

------------------------------------

after the 4 years later the farther age will be 36 ( 32+4 = 36)

the son will be 9 ( 5+4= 9 years)

the x presents how the father will be after 4 times the age of the son

The average and standard deviation of a measurement is 15.0 ± 5.0. if 100 students measured the value, how many would you expect

AURORKA [14]

Solution: We are given:

$\mu=15, \sigma=5$

Using the empirical rule, we have:

$\mu \pm \sigma$ covers 68% of data.

Also the percentage of values below mean = Percentage of values above mean = 50%

Now, let's find the z score for x=20

$z=\frac{20-15}{5}=1$

Therefore, the percentage of values greater than 1 standard deviation above mean $50\% - \frac{68\%}{2} =50\%-34\%=16%$

Expected number of students = 16% of 100 = 16

A loan of $900 will be repaid in 36 installment payments of $30.22 each. What the finance charge for the loan?

zimovet [89]

First you need to multiply 36 *$30.22=$1087.92
This gives you the total amount paid

Then subtract 1087.92-900=187.92
This gives you the amount of money you paid in finance charges.
