Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri's age=17 years

Her cousin's age =c

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age

4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age

17=3c - 4

Find c which is her cousin's age

Add 4 to both sides

17+4=3c - 4 + 4

17+4=3c

21=3c

Divide both sides by 3

21/3=3c/3

7=c

Therefore,

C= 7

Her cousin's age = 7 years

Find the standard deviation of the following data. Answers are rounded to the nearest tenth. 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56

kogti [31]

Answer:

24.2(to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is ungrouped data type

standard deviation =√ [∑ (x-μ)² / n]

mean (μ)=∑x/n

= $\frac{5+5+6+12+13+26+37+49+51+56+56+84}{12}$

=33.3

x-μ for data 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56, 56, 84 will be

-28.3, -28.3, -27.3, -21.3, -7.3, 3.7, 15.7,17.7, 22.7,22.7,50.7

(x-μ)² will be 800.89, 800.89,745.29,453.69,53.29,13.69,246.49,313.29,515.29,515.29,2570.49

∑ (x-μ)² will be = 7028.59

standard deviation = √(7028.59 / 12)

=24.2

An airliner carries 150 passengers and has doors with a height of 78 in. Heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x, height of men is N(69, 2.8)

Sample size n =150

Hence sample std dev = $\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{150} } =0.229$

Hence Z score = $\frac{x-69}{0.229}$

A) Prob that a random man from 150 can fit without bending

= P(X<78) = P(Z<3.214)=1.0000

B) n =75

Sample std dev = $\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{75} } =0.3233$

P(X bar <72) = P(Z<9.28) = 1.00

C) Prob of B is more relevent because average male passengers would be more relevant than a single person

(D) The probability from part (b) is more relevant because it shows the proportion of flights where the mean height of the male passengers will be less than the door height.

A factory produces 1,250,000 toys each year. The number of toys is expected to increase by about 150% per year. Which model can

kozerog [31]

Answer: Our required model is $n=1250000(1.15)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of toys = 1,250,00

Every year is expected to increase by about 150% pr year.

So, initial value = 1250,000

Rate of change = 150%

Let the number of time = t years.

So, we will use "Compound interest":

$n=P(1+\dfrac{r}{100})^t\\\\n=1250000(1+\dfrac{150}{100})^t\\\\n=1250000(1+1.50)^t\\\\n=1250000(1.15)^t$

Hence, our required model is $n=1250000(1.15)^t$

Triangles ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD so that C and D lie in the opposite semi-planes of segment AB. Prove that segment CD bisects segment AD.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles ΔABC and ΔBAD are congruent. So,

AB ≅ BA;
AC ≅ BD;
BC ≅ AD;
∠ABC ≅ ∠BAD;
∠BCA ≅ ∠ADB;
∠CAB ≅ ∠DBA.

Consider triangles AEC and BED. In these triangles,

AC ≅ BD;
∠EAC ≅ ∠EBD (because ∠CBA ≅ ∠BAD);
∠AEC ≅ ∠BED (as vertical angles).

So, ΔAEC ≅ ΔBED. Thus,

AE ≅ EB.

This means that segment CD bisects segment AD.
