                          Jenna's age                   Jessica's age

today                         x                               x + 5


in 5 years                 x+5 

5 years ago                                                   x + 5 - 5


Equality                  x + 5 = x + 5 - 5

=> x + 5 = x


The equation is x + 5 = x


That equation has not any solution, because it reduces to 5 = 0, which is an absurd.


So, the conclusion is that information given by Jenna is wrong.


It is logical: if the difference of the ages is 5, in five years Jenna will have 10 years more than what her sister had 5 years ago, no 5 as she told Jessica.

Suppose the average price for new cars in 2012 has a mean of $30,100 and a standard deviation of $5,600. Based on this informati
KatRina [158]

Answer:

($13,300,$46,900)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in he question:

Mean, μ = $30,100

Standard Deviation, σ = $5,600

Chebyshev's Theorem:

  • According to  theorem atleast 1 - \dfrac{1}{k^2}  percent of data lies within 2 standard deviations of mean.
  • For k = 3,

1 -\dfrac{1}{(3)^2} = 0.889 \approx 89\%

Thus, 89% of data lies within three standard deviation of mean.

\mu - 3(\sigma) = 30100 - 3(5600) = 13300\\\mu + 3(\sigma) = 30100 + 3(5600) = 46900

Thus, we expect at least 89% of new car prices to fall within ($13,300,$46,900)

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

miv72 [106K]
On the added picture you can see that graphs of functions y=2x^2-2 and y=-0.5x+4 have two points of intersection. The x-coordinates of these points are the solutions of the equation 
2x^2-2=-0.5x+4.
Hence, the approximate solutions are x=-1.9 and x=1.6.
