5 people.

14 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 12 = 60 total pencils.

60 pencils /  5 people = 12 pencils each.

Slav-nsk [51]

\text{Answer} : \text{The expected value of a t-shirt is \$31.}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices of three t-shirts styles  i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}

As we know that,

E(X)= \sum_{1}^{3}x_iP(x_i)

\text{where} x_i \text{ is the prices of t- shirts styles}

Now,

x_1= \$24 , x_2=\$30 , x_3=$36

and

P(x_1)=\frac{1}{6},P(x_2)=\frac{1}{2}, P(x_3)=\frac{1}{3}

So,

E(X)= 24\times \frac{1}{6}+30\times\frac{1}{2}+36\times \frac{1}{3}\\=4+15+12\\=31

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.

3.75(82) (82 students)

307.5

2071.5 - 307.5 ( you subtract since you only need to know the number of adults)

1764

1764/10.5 (you divide since each adult is 10.5$)

168

Henri has $24,000 invested in stocks and bonds. The amount in stocks is $6,000 more than three times the amount in bonds. Call t
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The solve of that problem is that Hernry invested $18.000 in stocks and $6.000 in bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to explain you have to do a multiplication about 6 on three. Like three times more than bonds, the result is 18. Then you have to do a  subtraction on $24.000 less $18.000, and the result is $6.000, so six is the amount on bonds. And is three times less than stocks, like the questions ask.

The perimeter of a triangle equals 8 inches. Two of its sides are equal and each of them is 1.3 inches bigger than the third sid
mafiozo [28]
Let's call the lengths of our two types of sides <em />x and y.

The two sides will that our 1.3 inches bigger than the third side will be have length x, and the length of the other side will be known as y. Thus, x = y + 1.3.

Considering this, we can add our sides together and set this value equal to 8, given the information in the problem:
(y + 1.3) + (y + 1.3) + y = 3y + 2.6 = 8

Now, let's solve for y.
3y + 2.6 = 8
3y = 5.4
y = 1.8

Now, we are not done yet. We must determine the true lengths of all of our sides. Using the equation we found earlier, the length of the two bigger sides is y + 1.3 = 1.8 + 1.3 = \boxed{3.1} inches and the length of our smaller side is simply \boxed{1.8} inches.

To verify, we can add these sides together and check that they equal 8:
3.1 + 3.1 + 1.8 = 8 ✔
