Ray is six years younger than Tom. John is three times as old as Ray. Let Tom be x years old. The three of them

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

Ray = 19 yrs old
Tom = 25 yrs old
John = 57 yrs old

Explanation:

Let x be the years of Tom

R = x - 6
J = 3R = 3(x - 6)
T = x

R + J + T = 101
x - 6 + 3(x - 6) + x = 101
2x - 6 + 3x - 18 = 101
5x - 24 = 101
5x = 125
x = 125/5 = 25

R = 25 - 6 = 19
J = 3(25 - 6) = 57
T = 25

Erin gets her exercise by running. The graph shows the distances she covers in a given amount of time. How many hours does it ta

soldi70 [24.7K]

The correct answer is c. 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ hours

Explanation:

The graphic shows the relationship between the distance Erin covers by running and the time this requires. Additionally, to know the specific time that takes for Erin to run a specific distance or vice versa it is necessary to observe at which point the two variables intersect in the line of the graph.

According to this, Erin runs 25 miles (y-axis) in 2.5 hours (x-axis), which you can know because in the line shown by the graph the distance 25 miles that is in the middle of 20 and 30 miles intersects with 2.5 hours or the middle between 2 and 3. Additionally, this number can be expressed as 2 and a half hours, 2.5 or even 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ hours because the fraction represents half. This makes option C the answer.

Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS

olganol [36]

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x=0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 couples

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is probability

of a girl, i.e.; p = 0.5

Let X = Numbers of girls in groups of 36 births

So, X ~ Binom(n = 36, p = 0.5)

Now, mean for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

Mean, E(X) = $n \times p$ = $36 \times 0.5$ = 18

Also, standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

Standard deviation, S.D.(X) = $\sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}$

= $\sqrt{36\times 0.5\times (1-0.5)}$

= 3

Answer:

I'm not sure how to answer this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Is this the full question? The context seems to be missing something. Who are Ben and Scott and who are the other 2 candidates?

Maybe post another question and rephrase it.

Plz help ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think in this question we have to find slope, if so, its y = 10x.

to find the slope just pick two numbers, i chose (2,20) and (7,70) and then put them in the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1. That gave me 10. I hope its correct. :)
