Answer:

Marge's present age = 14 ; Dan's present age = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age

Let Marge's present age be = M

Dan's present age [D] : 14 years elder than Marge = M + 14

8 years ago

Marge Age = M - 8

Dan's Age = D - 8 = (M + 14) - 8 = M + 6

{Given} : Dan's age = 3 times Marge's age

M + 6 = 3 (M - 8)

M + 6 = 3M - 24

6 + 24 = 3M - M

30 = 2M

M = 30/2

M = 15 [Marge's present age]

Dan's present age [D] = M + 14 = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 29858, \sigma = 5600$
