Well lets say y = the amount of medals won. lets say x is the amount won by short people and z is the amount won by tall. we know that the total medals is the total medals won by short and tall so:
y = x + z
it says that tall people are 3.times more likely. this would mean they won three times more than short people. so
z = 3x.
so if we know what z equals, we can replace z with what it is equal to. so:
y = x + z
y = x + 3x
y = 4x
we know that 60 medals were won so
y = 4x
60 = 4x
x = 15
that is the amount won by short people
Answer:
= 391/11
Let say number = N
a certain number is increased by 5
= N + 5
,one-half of the result
= (N + 5)/2
Three -fifths of the excess of 61 over the number.
= (3/5)(61 - N)
Equating both
(N + 5)/2 = (3/5)(61 - N)
multiplying by 10 both sides
=> 5(N + 5) = 6(61 - N)
=> 5N + 25 = 366 - 6N
=> 11N = 391
=> N = 391/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: a= 0.0231
Step-by-step explanation:
n=8
p=0.75
q=1 - 0.75 = 0.25
(p=x)
p(5) = 8C5 (0.25)^5 (0.75)^8-5
p(5)= 0.0231
Or 2.31%
