In order to find the expected age, we must multiply the probability of picking each child by their age, then add them all up. Like this:

E(x) = 4(1/2) + 5(1/10) + 6(3/10) + 7(1/10)
E(x) = 5 years

By doing this we are giving each age group a percentage of the entire population.

Hope this helps!

Ms Thomas drove at a constant rate for 45. She drove 39 miles during that time. If distance is determined by the equation d=rt w
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Ms. Thomas was driving at constant rate of 52 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total time to travel (t) = 45 minutes

Distance drove (d) = 39 miles

we need to find the constant rate in miles per hour at which she was driving.

Solution:

Now we know that;

We need to find constant rate at miles per hour;

But time is given in minutes.

So we will convert minutes into hour by dividing by 60 we get;

time t =\frac{45}{60}= 0.75\ hrs

Now we know that;

Distance is equal to rate times time.

framing in equation form we get;

distance d =rt

Or

rate r= \frac{d}{t} = \frac{39}{0.75}= 52 \ mi/hr

Hence Ms. Thomas was driving at constant rate of 52 miles/hour.

What percent of 50 is 9?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
9 is 18% of 50. So, 50 percent also written as 50% means 50 out of 100 parts. Since there are exactly two 50s in 100, fifty percent is the same number as one half. 50 percent=0.5 in but as a fraction, its 1/2.

Identify the stem of the following number: 231. <br> A. 1 <br> B. 2 <br> C. 3 <br> D. 23
Kruka [31]
stem = 23
leaf = 1

Answer is choice D

The leaf is always a single digit because you can have multiple leaves without any separating mark. If you have something like "123" on the leaf column, then that means you have three leaves of 1, 2 and 3 which correspond to the same stem.
