Answer:

Pam (6 years), Tia(8 years), Veronica(11 years), Lily (15 years)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tia's age is 8 years

______________________________________________

Since Tia is  2 years senior to Pam

this can be expressed as

Pam's age + 2 years = Tia's age

Pam's age + 2 years = 8 years

Thus, Pam's age  is 8 years- 2 years = 6 years

______________________________________________

As Pam is five years younger than Veronica

it can be concluded that Veronica's age is Pam's age plus 5 years

In mathematical terms

Pam's age + 5 years = Veronica's age

6 years + 5 years = Veronica's age

Thus, Veronica's age   = 11 years

______________________________________________

Since Veronica is four years younger than Lily

it can be expressed that Veronica's age is (Lily's age - 4 years)

Mathematically

Veronica's age = Lily's age - 4 years

11 years = Lily's age - 4 years

Therefore, Lily's age = 11 years + 4 years = 15 years

Lily's age   = 15 years

______________________________________________

If we arrange the ages from youngest to oldest, we have

Pam is 6 years old

Tia is 8 years old

Veronica is 11 years old

Lily is 15 years old

Ranking the sisters from youngest to oldest

Pam, Tia, Veronica, Lily

The curvature of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in
tester [12383]

Response:

The width of the arch measures 105 meters

Detailed explanation:

The function that describes the width of the arch is

f(x) = -0.016(x - 52.5)² + 45

where x denotes the horizontal distance from the left end of the arch or the width at its base

f(x) indicates the vertical height of the arch

According to the given quadratic equation, the vertex coordinates of the parabola are (52.5, 45).

The vertex coordinates indicate that

the arch's height is 45 meters

and half the horizontal span from the left end is 52.5 meters

Therefore, the bridge's total width is calculated as 2 times the half span from the left side, which is 2 × 52.5

resulting in 105 meters

Consequently, the bridge's width is 105 meters.

A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air. The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential energy store as a
Svet_ta [12734]

The toddler weighs 12.5 kg.

In-depth explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep=mgh where;

Ep=gravitational potential energy

m=mass of an object

g=gravitational field strength

h=height in meters

Given that; h= 1.5m, Ep=187.5J, g=10 N/kg then finding m;

Ep=mgh

187.5=m*10*1.5

187.5=15m

187.5/15 =15m/15

m=12.5 kg

Calculating conditional probabilities - random permutations. About The letters (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) are put in a random order.
AnnZ [12381]

A="b is situated in the center"

B="c lies to the right of b"

C="The letters def occur sequentially in that arrangement"

a) b can occupy 7 positions; however, only one of these is the center. Therefore, P(A)=1/7

b) Let X=i; "b holds the i-th position"

Y=j; "c occupies the j-th position"

P(B)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}(P(X=i)\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}P(Y=j))=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}\frac{1}{7}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}\frac{1}{6})=\frac{1}{42}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}1)=\frac{6+5+4+3+2+1}{42}=\frac{1}{2}

P(B)=1/2

c) Let X=i; "d holds the i-th position"

Y=j; "e occupies the j-th position"

Let Z=k; "f is in the i-th position"

P(C)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}( P(X=i)P(Y=i+1)P(Z=i+2))=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}(\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{5})=\frac{1}{210}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}(1)=\frac{1}{42}

P(C)=1/42

P(A∩C)=2*(1/7*1/6*1/5*1/4)=1/420

P(B\cap C)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{3} P(X=i)P(Y=i+1)P(Z=i+2)\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+3}^{6}P(V=j)P(W=j+1)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{3}\frac{1}{6}\frac{1}{7}\frac{1}{5}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=1+3}^{6}\frac{1}{4}\frac{1}{3})=1/420

P(B∩A)=3*(1/7*1/6)=1/14

P(A|C)=P(A∩C)/P(C)=(1/420)/(1/42)=1/10

P(B|C)=P(B∩C)/P(C)=(1/420)/(1/42)=1/10

P(A|B)=P(B∩A)/P(B)=(1/14)/(1/2)=1/7

P(A∩B)=1/14

P(A)P(B)=(1/7)*(1/2)=1/14

Events A and B are independent

P(A∩C)=1/420

P(A)P(C)=(1/7)*(1/42)=1/294

Events A and C are not independent

P(B∩C)=1/420

P(B)P(C)=(1/2)*(1/42)=1/84

Events B and C are not independent
