A family has three children.The oldest is 4 years older than the middle,and the youngest child is 2 years younger than the middl

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The age of the youngest child = x = 6 years

The age of middle child = y = 8 years

The age of the oldest child = z = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The age of the youngest child = x

The age of middle child = y

The age of the oldest child = z

The sum of the ages of the children is 26.

Hence: x + y + z = 26...... Equation 1

The oldest is 4 years older than the middle

z = 4 + y

The youngest child is 2 years younger than the middle child

x = y - 2

Hence, we substitute 4 + y for z and y - 2 for x in Equation 1

x + y + z = 26...... Equation 1

y - 2 + y + 4 + y = 26

y + y + y -2 +4 = 26

3y + 2 = 26

Subtract 2 from both sides

3y + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2

3y = 26 - 2

3y = 24

y = 24/3

y = 8

Solving for x

x = y - 2

x = 8 - 2

x = 6

Solving for z

z = 4 + y

z = 4 + 8

z = 12

Therefore:

The age of the youngest child = x = 6 years

The age of middle child = y = 8 years

The age of the oldest child = z = 12 years

Rosetta wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 250 individuals and finds that 48 rent their

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

$0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151$

$0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$X= 48$ number of people who rent their home

$n= 250$ represent the sample size

$\hat p =\frac{48}{250}= 0.192$ represent the proportion of people who rent their home

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.645$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151$

$0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233$

A ball was dropped from a height of 60m. Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped. Ho

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The ball traveled 116.25 m when it hit the ground for the fifth term

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression exercise and what we are asked to look for is the sum of a GP.

The ball was dropped from a height of 60 m. This means that the initial height of the ball is 60 m.

First value, a = 60

Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped.

This is the common ratio, r = 1/2 = 0.5

The number of terms it hits the ground is the number of terms in the GP.

number of terms, n = 5

The distance traveled by the ball when it hit the ground for the fifth term will be modeled by the equation:

$S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n) }{1 - r} \\S_5 = \frac{60(1 - 0.5^5) }{1 - 0.5}\\S_5 = \frac{58.125}{0.5} \\S_5 = 116.25 m$

What is the period of the graph of y = 5 sin (pi x) + 3?

Natasha2012 [34]

Equate whats inside (arguments) $\sin$ with base period of sine function $2\pi$ and solve for x to get period,

$\pi x=2\pi\implies x=2$

So the period of the graph of the given function is precisely 2.

Hope this helps :)

If a cone with a diameter of 10 m has a surface area of 190.6m2, find its slant height. Round to the nearest tenth.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: The slant height of the cone is 65.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diameter of a cone = 10 m

Surface area of cone = 190.6 m²

To find: Slant height

Diameter of cone = 10 m

Therefore Radius of cone = $\dfrac{\text {Diameter }}{2} = \dfrac{10}{2} =5m$

As we know that surface area of a cone is given by

$S.A. = \pi r(l+r)$

Where S.A. is surface area , r is the radius of cone and l is the slant height of the cone.

Let Slant height = l

So we have

$190.6 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 ( 5+l)\\\\\Rightarrow 5+l= \dfrac{190.6 \times 7}{22}\\\\\Rightarrow l= \dfrac{1334.2}{22}+5\approx 60.64+5 = 65.64\approx65.6$

Hence the slant height of the cone is 65.6 m
