When David was asked how old he was, he said " I'm three times younger than my dad, but twice as old as Rebecca. " Then little Rebecca ran up to him and declared "i am 30 years younger than my dad". How old is David

Answers

Answer 1

Using a system of equations, it is found that David is 12 years old.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The variables are given as follows:

Variable x: David's age.Variable y: Dad's age.Variable z: Rebecca's age.

David is three times younger than the dad and twice as old as Rebecca, then:

x = y/3 -> y = 3x.x = 2z.

Rebecca is 30 years younger than the dad, hence:

z = y - 30.

Then, since x = 2z and z = y - 30 and y = 3x, we solve for x to find David's age.

x = 2(y - 30)

x = 2(3x - 30)

x = 6x - 60

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12.

David is 12 years old.

The value of x = 93 degree and value of angle A and B is 72 , 108 degree

What is a Linear Pair ?

The pair of triangles that are supplementary and they add to form 180 degree angle are called Linear Pairs.

It is given that

∠ A = x -21

∠ B = x+15

also it is given that

angle  A and B form a linear pair

∠ A + ∠ B = 180 degree

To find the value of x

x -21 + x+15 = 180

2x - 6 = 180

2x = 186

x = 93 degree

so

∠ A = x -21 = 93 -21 = 72 degree

∠ B = x+15 = 93+21 = 108 degree

Therefore the value of x = 93 degree and value of angle A and B is 72 , 108 degree.

According to AAA Chicago, 58 percentage of crashes involving teen drivers are instigated by distracted driving.

What does AAA study tell about the distracted driving of teens?

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's review of over 1,700 crash films, distracted driving causes 58 percent of car accidents involving juvenile drivers. According to the foundation, this figure is four times higher than earlier projections derived from police records.

The investigation identified 12 different kinds of distracted driving that contributed to collisions, with passenger interaction accounting for 15% of crashes. Twelve percent of the collisions were caused by using a cellphone, which was followed by reaching for something, looking inside the vehicle, gazing outside while not paying attention to the road, singing or dancing, and looking at something outdoors.

According to the study, young drivers were prey to distracted driving by calls, texts, or other mobile device use for an average of 4.1 seconds in the final six seconds before a catastrophic crash.

Determine the equation of the altitude from A.

with (x₁, y₁ ) = B (- 7, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = C (- 1, 5 )

work hours: independent

salary: dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is what is you're "typically" in control of, or it has a constant increase. For example time, you're not really "in control" of time, but it has a constant change. One example where you are in control, is how much money you deposit into your account, you can slightly control it (you obviously can't deposit more than you have), but it's still somewhat in your control.

The dependent variable is what changes as a result of the independent variable changing. So for example in the previous example, where the money deposited was the independent variable, the dependent variable would be the total amount of money in your account

In this case the number of hours during the week is the independent variable and the salary depends on how many hours you work in the week so that is the dependent variable

Probability is the chance of happening an event among all the events possible.

Probability of winning is calculated as under:

Probability=[tex]C(20,3)C(60,17)/C(80,20)[/tex]

We have taken C(20,3) because player will win if 5 numbers are selected from 20 winning numbers.

We have taken C(60,17) because after selection of 20 numbers 60 numbers will left from 80 and after winning from 3 numbers 17  numbers left and from total 80, 20 numbers are taken.

=C(20,3)C(60,17)/C(80,20)

=(20!/3!17!  * 60!/17!43!)/80!/20!60!

=1140*387221678682300/35353161422121743200

d = k

d = 6, v = 20,

Consider a deck with 2626 black and 2626 red cards. You draw one card at a time and you can choose either guess on whether it is red beforehand or simply observe the result. If the card is red you get \$1$1 and the game ends whenever you decide to guess. What is your strategy to play this game and the expected earnings

Answers

The maximum earning is v(r,b)

Let v(r,b) be the expected value of the game for the player, assuming optimal play, if the remaining deck has r red cards and b black cards.

Then v(r,b) satisfies the recursion

and

The stopping rule is simple: Stop when v(r,b)=0.

To explain the recursion . . .

If r,b>0, and the player elects to play a card, then:

The revealed card is red with probability [tex]\frac{r}{r+b}[/tex], and in that case, the player gets a score of +1, and the new value is V(r-1,b)The revealed card is black with probability [tex]\frac{b}{r+b}[/tex], and in that case, the player gets a score of −1, and the new value is V(r,b-1)

Thus, if r,b>0, electing to play a card yields the value f(r,b).

But the player always has the option to quit, hence, if r,b>0, we get v(r,b)=max(0,f(r,b)).

Implementing the recursion in Maple, the value of the game is

v(26,26)=41984711742427/15997372030584

v(26,26)  ≈2.624475549

and the optimal stopping strategy is as follows . . .

If 24≤b≤26, play while r≥b−5.If 17≤b≤23, play while r≥b−4.If 11≤b≤16, play while r≥b−3.If 6≤b≤10, play while r≥b−2.If 3≤b≤5, play while r≥b−1.If 1≤b≤2, play while r≥b.If b=0, play while r>0.

Answer: 47

Step-by-step explanation:

For a 4-units class like Statistics, students should spend average of 12 hours studying for the class. A survey was done on students, and the distribution of total study hours per week is bell-shaped with a mean of 15 hours and a standard deviation of 3 hours. a) 95% of the students have study hours that are between_____and_____hours.
b) What percentage of the students have study hours that are above 12?

Answers

95% of the students have study hours between 10.75 and 13.25 hours and the percentage of the students have study hours that are above 12 is 92%.

Given average of 12 % studying required, population mean of 15 hours, standard deviation of 3 hours.

We have to find the confidence interval for 95% students and the percentage of the students that have studied above 12 hours.

Margin of error=z*σ[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]

z value for the p value 0.95 is 1.96.

Margin of error=1.96*3/[tex]\sqrt{22}[/tex]

=5.88/4.69

=1.25

Upper interval=Mean +margin of error

=12+1.25

=13.25

Lower interval=Mean- margin of error

=12-1.25

=10.75

The confidence interval (10.75,13.25).

Now we will calculate the percentage of the students that are above 12.

z value when X=12, z=12-15/15

=-3/15

=-0.2

p value of -0.2 will be =0.5+0.4207=0.9207

=0.9207*100

Percentage=92.07%

Approx=92%.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume that length is larger than width, so the given 31.5 in are these 7 units.

that means 1 ratio unit is

31.5 / 7 = 4.5 in

the width is 4 units, therefore

The correct answer is 700 months .

What is simple interest?Simple interest is based on the principal amount of a loan or the first deposit in a savings account. Simple interest doesn't compound, which means a creditor will only pay interest on the principal amount and a borrower would never have to pay more interest on the previously accumulated interest.

Given,

         I = 105

         P = 100

            r = 0.15

Now use simple interest formula,

      [tex]S.I. = \frac{p * r* t}{100}[/tex]

105=100×(0.15)×(t)

Swap sides so t is on the left.

100 ×(0.15)×(t)=105

Divide both sides by 100.

0.15t=1.05

Divide both sides by 0.15

t=700

So, we see that it takes 700 months to earn this amount.
