Answer:

20\ ducklings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of ducklings

y------> the number of adult ducks

we know that

x+y=24 ------> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{1}

so

x=5y

y=0.20x ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

x+0.20x=24

1.20x=24

x=20\ ducklings

Average Earnings of Workers The average earnings of year-round full-time workers 25–34 years old with a bachelor’s degree or hig
beks73 [17]

Answer:

a. 68% of the workers will earn between $47300 and $69700.

b. 2.5% of workers will earn above $89000

c. Approximately 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard normal distribution curve in the attached graph is used to solve this question.

a. The value $47300 is a standard deviation below the mean i.e. 58500-11200=47300. While $69700 is a standard deviation above the mean. I.e. 58500+12000=69700.

Between the first deviation below and above the mean, you have 34%+34%=68% of the salary earners within this range. So we have 68%of staffs earning within this range

b. The second standard deviation above the mean is $80900. i.e. 58500+11200+11200=$80900

We have 50%+13.5%+2.5%= 97.5% earning below $80900. Therefore, 100-97.5= 2.5% of the workers earn above this amount.

c. From the Standard Deviation Rule, the probability is only about (1 -0 .997) / 2 = 0.0015 that a normal value would be more than 3 standard deviations away from its mean in one direction or the other. The probability is only 0.0002 that a normal variable would be more than 3.5 standard deviations above its mean. Any more standard deviations than that, and we generally say the probability is approximately zero.

The yard behind the Cindy's house is rectangular in shape and has a perimeter of 72 feet. If the length l of the yard is 18 feet
QveST [7]
Let the width of the yard  be w.
Since the length is 18feet longer, l = w + 18

Perimeter for rectangle =  2(l + w)

        2(l + w) = 72
      
        2(w+18 + w) = 72      Divide 2 on both sides

           (w + 18 + w) = 36

               2w + 18 =   36

                       2w = 36 - 18

                            2w = 18       Divide 2 on both sides

                                w = 18/2

                                   w = 9

Recall, length l = w + 18, l = 9 + 18 = 27

Hence width, w = 9, length,l = 27

Area of rectangle = l × w = 27 × 9 =   243

Area of rectangular yard =  243 square feet.

Triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half. Triangle N R M is shown. Angle N R M is a right angle. A
Fed [463]

Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half.

It means original equilateral is triangle MNO and NR is a perpendicular bisector (<em>A line which cuts a line segment into two equal parts at 90°</em>).

The side length of the triangle is

NO = NS + SM = 6 + 2 = 8

Since an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal and NR is a perpendicular bisector, therefore

RM = MO/2 = 8/2 = 4

The value of x is 4.
