Answer:

The numbers are: 24 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=60

If we were to divide 60 by two we would get thirty. But if thirty represented both a and b they would be the same variable.

So what if we subtract 6 from 30=a

=24 so a=24

Now add 6 to 30=b

=36

So B=36

There fore the two numbers are 24 and 36.

Malachy, Sushil and Fiona share some sweets in the ratio 7:1:1. Malachy gets 90 more sweets than Fiona. How many sweets does Sus

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiona (F) = Sushi (S)

Malachy (M) = 7 Fiona (F)

M = F + 90

F + 90 = 7F

6F = 90

F (Fiona) = 15

S (Sushi) = 15

check: Malachy (M) = 15 * 7 = 105

M-F = 105 - 15 = 90

Jon, Leroy, and Simon are having a free-throw shooting contest. Each boy

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you arrange a statistics in order from least to greatest, the middle number is the median.

If there is even number of numbers in a list, let it be n numbers, then we take the average of n/2th and n/2 + 1 th terms.

Here, all of them have 6 numbers, so 6/2 = 3 and 4th, we take average of 3rd and 4th number to find the median.

Since they are arrange in order we check each:

Jon = average of 6 and 7, (6+7)/2 = 6.5

Leroy = average of 6 and 8, (6+8)/2 = 7

Simon = average of 5 and 6, (5+6)/2 = 5.5

Leroy's median is the greatest (7).

Leah is writing an equivalent equation which solves for y. What should be her next step? 3x+4y=8 Add 4y to both sides of the equ

ratelena [41]

The given equation is

$3x+4y=8$

And we have to solve for y.

Solving for y, means isolating y . And to isolate y, we need to get rid of 4 that is with y .

It means we have to separate 4 from y, and for separation , we have to perform division. That is, we have to divide both sides by 4, and that will be the next step .

So out of the four options, correct option is the last option .

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

2,196; 549; 131.76; 8; 175.68; 1339.56

Step-by-step explanation:

2,196 is the biggest number, so use that as the first number.

.25x2196=549

.06x2196=131.76

.08x2196=175.68

2196-(549+131.76+175.68)=1339.56

Solve the problem. Use the Central Limit Theorem.The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distr

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.8944 = 89.44% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
