9514 1404 393

Answer:

  21

Step-by-step explanation:

8 years ago, both were 8 years younger, so the total of their ages would have been 68 -2×8 = 52. If the ratio of their ages was 1 : 3, then the son's age then was 1/(1+3) = 1/4 of the total. 1/4×52 = 13.

Now, 8 years later, the son's age is 13 +8 = 21.

__

Then, Aloysius was 3×13 = 39. Now, Aloysius is 39+8 = 47, and the sum of their ages is 21 +47 = 68, as required.

Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a standard deviation of 1.5 and a mean diameter of 205
lawyer [7]

Answer:

the probability is 0.0750

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below;

The mean of x is

= 1.5 ÷ √79

= 0.1688

Now the probability is

= P(Z < -0.3 ÷ 0.1688) + P(\bar{x} > 0.3 ÷ 0.1688)

= P(Z < -1.78) + P(Z > 1.78)

= P(Z < -1.78) + 1 - P(Z < 1.78

= 0.0375 + 1 - 0.9625

= 0.0750

hence, the probability is 0.0750

Sam has the lead role in the school play. He still has to memorize 1/2 of his lines. Suppose Sam memorizes 1/3 of his lines toda
DaniilM [7]

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sam has to memorize 1/2 of his lines and he memorizes 1/3 of his lines today, the fractions of his lines that he has left to memorize will be gotten by subtracting 1/3 from 1/2. This will be:

= 1/2 - 1/3

= 3/6 - 2/6

= 1/6

Therefore, he has 1/6 of his lines left to memorize.
