Eli, Freda and Geoff were given £800 to share in the ratio of their ages.

Initially, we will calculate the total of their ages by adding the ages of Eli, Freda, and Geoff:
9+13+18=40
The total age of Eli, Freda, and Geoff amounts to 40, thus the denominator for each ratio is 40.

Subsequently, we will apply the ratio of each individual's age to the combined age multiplied by £800:
For Eli: \frac{9}{40} *800=180
For Freda: \frac{13}{40} *800=260
For Geoff: \frac{18}{40} *800=360
<span>
In conclusion, Eli will receive £180, Freda will receive £260, and Geoff will receive £360.</span>

The resting heart rates for 80 women aged 46–55 in a simple random sample are normally distributed, with a mean of 71 beats per
lawyer [12517]

Details provided:
Confidence level = 90%
Mean = 71 beats per minute
Standard deviation = 6 beats per minute

The formula for margin of error is z * δ / √n.

Where δ represents the population standard deviation and n is the sample size; z denotes the corresponding z-value.

For a 90% confidence level, the z-value is 1.645.

Thus, the margin of error is calculated as 1.645 * (6/√80) = 1.645 * (6/8.94) = 1.645 * 0.671 = 1.104.

Dr. Shah visits patients at their homes. The equation y = 150x + 50 represents the amount
Zina [12379]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step clarification:

The equation that represents the total cost is in the format of a linear equation y = mx + c

Here, m signifies the slope of the line

c indicates the y-intercept, showing where the line intersects the y-axis

When the equation y = 150x + 50 is plotted, it will form a linear graph where the y-intercept corresponds to 50, as observed in the standard form of a linear equation.

Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to answer this question. Fifteen percent of all students at a large un
AnnZ [12381]

Answer: 0.1289

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The proportion of students absent on Mondays at a large university.: p=0.15

Sample size: n=12

Mean: \mu=np=12\times0.15=1.8

Standard deviation = \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

\Rightarrow\ \sigma=\sqrt{12(0.15)(1-0.15)}=1.23693168769\approx1.2369

Let x represent a binomial variable.

Referencing the standard normal distribution table,

P(x=4)=P(x\leq4)-P(x\leq3) (1)

Z score for normal distribution:-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x=4

z=\dfrac{4-1.8}{1.2369}\approx1.78

For x=3

z=\dfrac{3-1.8}{1.2369}\approx0.97

Thus, from (1)

P(x=4)=P(z\leq1.78)-P(z\leq0.97)\\\\=0.962462-0.8339768\approx0.1289

Consequently, the likelihood of four students being absent = 0.1289

The random variable X, representing the number of cherries in a cherry puff, has the following probability distribution:x: 4 - 5
Leona [12618]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution for the random variable X is provided.

X 4 5 6 7 Total

P 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.1 1

x*p 0.8 2 1.8 0.7 5.3

x^2*p 3.2 10 10.8 4.9 28.9

a) The expected value E(X), representing the mean of X, equates to 5.3.

Var(x) = 28.9-5.3^2=0.81

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which amounts to 0.9.

------------------------------------

b) For the mean of the sample, we find:

Mean = 5.3

Variance = var(x)/n = \frac{0.81}{{36} } \\=0.0225

c) P(\bar X
