Answer:

\text{The present age of Cassandra=x=32 yrs}

\text}{The present age of Seymour=2x=2\times 32=64 yrs}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra. If 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages become equal.

We have to find their present ages.

Let the present age of Cassandra=x yrs

As Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra

∴ the present age of Seymour=2x yrs

According to question, if 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages become equal.

⇒ x+16=2x-16

2x-x=16+16

x=32 yrs

\text{The present age of Cassandra=x=32 yrs}

\text}{The present age of Seymour=2x=2\times 32=64 yrs}

Among 21- to 25-year-olds, 29% say they have driven while under the influence of alcohol. Suppose that three 21- to 25-year-olds
Vilka [71]

Answer:

0.6421

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have 3 trials and we have 2 options for each one. The driver has or hasn't been under alcohol influence. The probability that the driver has is 0.29 and the probabiility that the driver hasn't is 1 - 0.29 = 0.71

each trial is independent because we are assuming that the population of drivers in between 21 and 25 years old is very big.

The probability that one of them was under alcohol influence can be found by finding the probability that non of them was under alcohol influence because:

1 = p(x = 0) + p(x ≥ 1)

p(x ≥ 1) = 1 - p(0)

The probability that none of them was under alcohol influence is going to be:

0.71×0.71×0.71 = 0.3579

The probability of finding at least one driver that has been under alcohol influence is:

0.6421

The average low temperature by month in Nashville is represented by the function
malfutka [58]

Answer:

<h2>33</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the average low temperature by month in Nashville is represented by the function  f(x)=-1.4x² + 19x +1.7, where x is the month, the average rate of change is expressed as d[f(x)]/dx = 2(1.4x) + 19

d[f(x)]/dx  = 2.8x + 19

Since the number of months between March and August is 5 months and x is in months, hence we will substitute x = 5 into the resulting function to get  the average rate of change from March to  August as shown;

d[f(x)]/dx  at x = 5

= 2.8(5)+ 19

= 14 + 19

= 33

<em>Hence the average rate of change from March to August is 33</em>
