Since our sum is 62, and we have consecutive numbers being added, our range is most likely going to be from 10-20.
To further solve this problem easily, try finding 4 consecutive numbers with the ones place adding up to 12, 22, 32, 42, or any number that sums up to the 2 in the ones place.
Let's try 14, 15, 16, 17, since 4, 5, 6, and 7 sum up to a number with a 2 in the ones place.
14 + 15 = 29,
16 + 17 = 33.
33 + 29 is 62.
We have found the age of the friends, but we're looking for the oldest.
Our largest number is 17.
Your answer is 17 years old.
I hope this helps!

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through (12, 16)<br> and (1, y)<br> . Find y
k0ka [10]

Answer: The value of y is \frac{4}{3}.

Explanation:

It is given that the graph of a proportional relationship passes through (12, 16)

and (1, y).

The graph of a proportional relationship means the x and y coordinates are in a proportion k. The equation of the graph is in the form of y=kx. Where k is the proportion factor.

It is given that the graph passing through (12,16).

y=kx

16=k(12)

k=\frac{16}{12}

k =\frac{4}{3}

So the equation of the line is,

y=\frac{4}{3} x

put x=1.

y=\frac{4}{3} (1)

y=\frac{4}{3}

Therefore, the value of y is \frac{4}{3}.

A local project being analyzed by PERT has 42​ activities, 13 of which are on the critical path. If the estimated time along the
ryzh [129]

Answer:

the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or​ less, P(x ≤ 95) = 0.023

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal probability distribution question.

We'll need to standardize the 95 days to solve this.

The standardized score is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - xbar)/σ

x = 95 days

xbar = mean = 105 days

σ = standard deviation = √(variance) = √25 = 5

z = (95 - 105)/5 = - 2

To determine the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or​ less, P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2))

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2)) = 0.02275 = 0.023
