Jenny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x

+ 2x + 5 = 62, where x is Jenny’s age. Plug in the values from the set {12, 15, 18, 19} to find the value of x. The value that holds true for the equation is . So, Jenny is years old and her mother is years old.

Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.

In a certain elementary school, 52% of the students are girls. A sample of 65 students is drawn. Would it be unusual for more th

aksik [14]

P = 52% = 0.52
SE = sqrt(p(1 - p)/n) = sqrt(0.52(1 - 0.52)/65) = sqrt((0.52 x 0.48) / 65) = sqrt(0.00384) = 0.0620

Let x be a random variable representing the percent of girls in the sample, then
P(x > 0.70) = 1 - P(x < 0.70) = 1 - P(z < (0.70 - 0.52) / 0.0620) = 1 - P(z < 2.905) = 1 - 0.99816 = 0.00184

The probability that there will be more than 70% of girls in the sample is 0.00184. Therefore, it will be unusual for more than 70% of them to be girls.

Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.

Paraphin [41]

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then, their slopes are equal.

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we will proceed to calculate the slope in each case, to determine the solution of the problem

<u>Case A)</u> Point $B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$

Find the slope BC

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-5-2}{7-5}$

$m=\frac{-7}{2}$

$m=-3.5$

so

The equation $y=-3.5x-15$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part A) is</u>

$B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$ ------> $y=-3.5x-15$

<u>Case B)</u> Point $D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$

Find the slope DE

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{9-6}{5-11}$

$m=\frac{3}{-6}$

$m=-0.5$

so

The equation $y=-0.5x-3$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part B) is</u>

$D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$ ------> $y=-0.5x-3$

<u>Case C)</u> Point $F(-7,12)\ G(3,-8)$

Find the slope FG

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-8-12}{3+7}$

$m=\frac{-20}{10}$

$m=-2$

so

Any linear equation with slope $m=-2$ will be parallel to the line passing through the points $F(-7,12)\ G(3,-8)$

<u>Case D)</u> Point $H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$

Find the slope HI

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{9-4}{8-4}$

$m=\frac{5}{4}$

$m=1.25$

so

The equation $y=1.25x+4$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part D) is</u>

$H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$ ------> $y=1.25x+4$

<u>Case E)</u> Point $J(7,2)\ K(-9,8)$

Find the slope JK

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{8-2}{-9-7}$

$m=\frac{6}{-16}$

$m=-0.375$

so

Any linear equation with slope $m=-0.375$ will be parallel to the line passing through the points $J(7,2)\ K(-9,8)$

<u>Case F)</u> Point $L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$

Find the slope LM

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-12+7}{4-5}$

$m=\frac{-5}{-1}$

$m=5$

so

The equation $y=5x+19$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part F) is</u>

$L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$ ------> $y=5x+19$

The answer to the problem is as follows:

Count all boys as one unit. Then there is one boy and 2 girls who can be permuted in 3! = 6 ways. Bout the 3 boys can permute among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

<span>6x6 = 36 ways in which all boys are together.
