Let's have the first number, the larger number, be x. We'll have the second, smaller number be y.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation. First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y. Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right. 168 is 6 more than 162. 162 + 168 equals 330. So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

Eight more than seven times a number is 8

icang [17]

Answer:

The number is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We form an equation using the statement:

8 = 7x + 8

Then we solve it:

8 = 7x + 8

8 - 8 = 7x

0 = 7x

0 ÷ 7 = x

x = 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles outside a circle are half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

78 - 12 = 66

66/2 = 33

The angle is 33 degrees

Finn changes his mind and, from now on, decides to take the normal route to work everyday. On any given day, the time (in minute

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The 33rd percentile of the time it takes Finn to get to work on any given day is 31.04 minutes.

There is a 61.92% probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day or more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by the the z-score formula:

On a normaly distributed set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a value X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Each z-score value has an equivalent p-value, that represents the percentile that the value X is:

The problem states that:

Mean = 35, so $\mu = 35$

Variance = 81. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so $\sigma = \sqrt{81} = 9$ .

Find the 33rd percentile of the time it takes Finn to get to work on any given day. Do not include any units in your answer.

Looking at the z-score table, $z = -0.44$ has a pvalue of 0.333. So what is the value of X when $z = -0.44$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.44 = \frac{X - 35}{9}$

$X - 35 = -3.96$

$X = 31.04$

The 33rd percentile of the time it takes Finn to get to work on any given day is 31.04 minutes.

Over the next 2 days, find the probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day or more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day.

$P = P_{1} + P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day. The first step to solve this problem is finding the z-value of $X = 40.5$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{40.5 - 35}{9}$

$Z = 0.61$

$Z = 0.61$ has a pvalue of 0.7291. This means that the probability that it took LESS than 40.5 minutes for Finn to get to work is 72.91%. The probability that it took more than 40.5 minutes if $P_{1} = 100% - 72.91% = 27.09% = 0.2709$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that Finn took more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day. Sine the probabilities are independent, we can solve it the same way we did for the first day, we find the z-score of

$X = 38.5$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{38.5 - 35}{9}$

$Z = 0.39$

$Z = 0.39$ has a pvalue of 0.6517. This means that the probability that it took LESS than 38.5 minutes for Finn to get to work is 65.17%. The probability that it took more than 38 minutes if $P_{1} = 100% - 65.17% = 34.83% = 0.3483$

So:

$P = P_{1} + P_{2} = 0.2709 + 0.3483 = 0.6192$

There is a 61.92% probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day or more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day.
