Let, Fiona's age = x
Darwin's age = 2x+6

Then, 2x+6 = 50
2x = 44
x = 22

So, your answer is 22

Hope this helps!

The number of flaws in a fiber optic cable follows a Poisson distribution. It is known that the mean number of flaws in 50m of c

boyakko [2]

Answer:

(a) The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is 0.21246

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is 0.69155

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is 0.13063

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable X has a Poisson distribution and it is referred to as Poisson random variable if and only if its probability distribution is given by

$p(x;\lambda)=\frac{\lambda e^{-\lambda}}{x!}$ for x = 0, 1, 2, ...

where $\lambda$ , the mean number of successes.

(a) To find the probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable, we first need to find the mean number of flaws in 150 m, we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 150 m of cable is $1.2 \cdot 3 =3.6$

The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is

$P(X=3)=p(3;3.6)=\frac{3.6^3e^{-3.6}}{3!} \approx 0.21246$

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is,

we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 100 m of cable is $1.2 \cdot 2 =2.4$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-p(0;2.4)-p(1;2.4)\\\\P(X\geq 2)=1-\frac{2.4^0e^{-2.4}}{0!}-\frac{2.4^1e^{-2.4}}{1!}\\\\P(X\geq 2)\approx 0.69155$

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is

$P(X=1)=p(1;1.2)=\frac{1.2^1e^{-1.2}}{1!}\\P(X=1)\approx 0.36143$

The occurrence of flaws in the first and second 50 m of cable are independent events. Therefore the probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m is

$(0.36143)(0.36143) = 0.13063$

Miriam reduced a square photo by cutting 3 inches away from the length and the width so it will fit in her photo album. The area

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

11 inches by 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the original photo were 11 inches by 11 inches.

We are informed that the area of the reduced photo is 64 square inches and that In the equation (x – 3)^2 = 64, x represents the side measure of the original photo.

In order to solve for x, we shall first take square roots on both sides of the equation;

The square root of (x – 3)^2 is simply (x - 3).

The square root of 64 is ±8 but we ignore -8 since the dimensions of any figure must be positive.

Therefore, we have the following equation;

x - 3 = 8

x = 8 + 3

x = 11

A mattress store sold 1,330 mattresses in one year. If 30% of the mattresses sold were king size mattresses, how many king size

kodGreya [7K]

The total number of mattresses that are sold in a year = 1,330

Percentage of King size mattresses sold = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Next, we have to calculate the actual number sold by using the formula given below:

Number of king size mattresses sold = Total mattresses sold in a year * percentage of king size mattresses sold

Number of King Size mattresses sold = 1,330*0.3 = 399

Number of king size mattresses sold = 399
