Answer:

The age of Sue could be 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny is 8 years older than twice her cousin Sue's age.

The first equation will be :

J = 8 + 2S ---------(1)

The sum of their ages is less than 32.

The second equation will be :

J + S < 32  ----------------(2)

Now rearrange both equations :

8 + 2S + S < 32

3S < 32 - 8

3S < 24

S < 24/3

S < 8

S = 7

The age of Sue could be 7 years.

On a december day, the probability of snow is .30. the probability of a "cold" day is .50. the probability of snow and "cold" we
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Events A and B are independent if the following holds true:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B)

where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of A and B, P(A) is the probability of A, and P(B) is the probability of B.

Setting A = "snow" and B = "cold weather", and plugging in the above numbers will give you the answer.

Decide whether the function is an exponential growth or exponential decay function, and find the constant percentage rate of gro
frosja888 [35]
Consider the function f ( x ) = 2479 ⋅ 0.9948x First compare this with f ( x ) po ( 1 + r ) ^ 2 We get po = 2479 And 1 + r = 0.9948 = 1 – 0.0052 r = -0.0052 < 0 Therefore, f is an exponential decay function with a decay rate of 0.0052 x 100 = 0.52%

According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with a mean of 23.3 ce
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

26.11% of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 = 23.3, \sigma = 1.4

In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long. What percentage of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22.4. So

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

Z = \frac{22.4 - 23.3}{1.4}

Z = -0.64

Z = -0.64 has a pvalue of 0.2611

26.11% of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller

A special 8-sided die is marked with the numbers 1 to 8. It is rolled 20 times with these outcomes:
horsena [70]

Answer:

One: B

Two: 60% and 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem One

There are only two numbers in the sample of 40 that are under 26. Both are 25. If you find more, make the adjustment. There are 2 more that are exactly 26 but they are not counted because the directions say "less than 26."

So set up your proportion

x/2000 = 2/40                     Multiply both sides by 2000

x = 2/40 * 2000

x = 4000/40

x = 100

A

I don't know where 5 comes from. But it is not correct.

B

B should be the correct answer.

C

Exactly 100 pieces should be defective. That is the theoretical result. C is incorrect.

D

D is not correct. The sample size would not be 40. It would have to be 2000 for D to be correct. So D is wrong.

E

We have enough data to get an answer. E is incorrect.

Problem 2

The think you must NOT do is count 1 as being prime. The prime numbers are 2 3 5 7 between 1 and 8. They break down as follows.

  • Prime           Number of them
  • 2                         3
  • 3                         4
  • 5                         2
  • 7                         3

The total number of primes = 12

There are 20 numbers in the sample

The experimental probability of tossing a prime is 12/20 * 100% = 60%

The non primes are 2 3 5 7 which is 4 out of 8

4/8 * 100 = 50%

The experimental value is 10% more than the theoretical value.

Discussion

Note: the problem may be one. This all depends on what you have been told about 1. I am using the exact wording of prime here. 1 is not a prime. It is also not a composite. So it has to be counted as part of the non primes.
