The sum of the ages of David and Morgan is 78 years. 7 years ago, David's age was 3 times Morgan's age. How old is David now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

David is 55 years old

Morgan is 23 years old

__________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of David = x years

Let the age of Morgan = y years

We are Given:

The sum of David and Morgan's age is 78

7 years ago, David's age was 3 times Morgan's age

__________________________________________________________

Making the equations:

from the first statement, the sum of their ages is 78

So, we can write it as:

x + y = 78

from the second statement,7 years ago, David's age was 3 times Morgan's age

David's age 7 years ago = (x - 7)

Morgan's age 7 years ago = (y-7)

So, we can write the equation as:

(x - 7) = 3(y - 7)

which can be simplified to:

x = 3y - 14

__________________________________________________________

Solving the equations:

We have the 2 equations:

x + y = 78x = 3y - 14

from the first equation, we can say that:

x = 78 - y

Using this value in the second equation:

x = 3y - 14

78 - y=  3y - 14                                                             [since x = 78 - y]

78 + 14 = 4y

4y = 92

y = 23

Using this value in the first equation:

x + y = 78

x + 23 = 78                                                                  [since y = 23]

x = 55

__________________________________________________________

The Age of David and Morgan:

Since we assigned x to the age of David:

David is 55 years old

We assigned y to the age of Morgan. So,

Morgan is 23 years old

straight-time pay? (Financial 1.1)

SHOW YOUR WORK

Answers

Answer:

$312.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount earned per hour = $11.15

Number of hours worked = 28 hours

Straight time pay is the total amount earned in a given pay period. Hence,

Starlight time pay earned during the period he worked will be :

Amount per Hour * number of hours

$11.15 * 28 = $312.2

Step-by-step explanation:

In each month, the proportion of ‘Prize’ bonds that win a prize is 1 in 11,000. There is a large number of prizes and all bonds are equally likely to win each prize.

(a) Show that, for a given month, the probability that a bondholder with
5000 bonds wins at least one prize, is 0.365, correct to 3 significant figures.

(b) For a given month, find the probability that, in a group of 10 bondholders
each holding 5000 bonds, four or more win at least one prize

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The proportion of price bonds that wins a prize is 1 in 111000

The probability of winning at least one prize = 1 - Probability of winning no prize at all.

Probability of winning at least one prize = [tex]1 - \bigg (\dfrac{10999}{11000} \bigg)^{5000}[/tex]

Probability of winning at least one prize = 1 - 0.9999090909⁵⁰⁰⁰

Probability of winning at least one prize = 1 - 0.635

Probability of winning at least one prize = 0.365

Since this question follows a binomial distribution with the probability of p = 0.365 and number of sample n = 10

Then; the probability of four or more will win at least one prize can be computed as follows:

[tex]= \sum \limits ^{10}_{x=4} \bigg( ^{10}_{x} \bigg)(0.365)^x (1- 0.365)^{10-x}[/tex]

[tex]= \bigg( ^{10}_{4} \bigg)(0.365)^4 (0.635)^{10-4}[/tex]

[tex]= \bigg( \dfrac{10!}{4!(10-4)!} \bigg)(0.365)^4 (0.635)^{6}[/tex]

[tex]= 0.244[/tex]

4) Adult tickets for the evening show at XD Theater are $11 and children's tickets are $Belf the theater seats 250 people, how many adult tickets must be sold for $2.300 of total sales? Answer: adult tickets ​

Answers

Omitted value: The price of children ticket was omitted in the question, so i used $8 to solve. You can input the correct value and solve the same way following the steps.

Answer: 100 adult tickets  must be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

let  x represent Adults

AND y represent children

Since the theater seats 250 people we have that

x+y = 250..... equation 1

Also price for Adult ticket = $11

and  price children ticket =$8

With total sales at $2,300, we have that

11x + 8y= 2300----- equation 2

Step 2

Making y subject in equation 1

' x+y = 250

y= 250-x

Putting y= 250- x in equation 2

11x + 8(250-x)= 2300

11x +2000-8x= 2300

11x -8x = 2300-2000

3x= 300

x 300/3

x= 100.

To find y

 x+y = 250

100+y=250

y=250-100

y=150

Therefore 100 adult tickets and 150 children tickets must be sold to get a total sales of $2,300

Stainless steels can be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking under certain conditions. A materials engineer is interested in determining the proportion of steel alloy failures that are due to stress corrosion cracking. In the absence of preliminary data, what is the minimum sample size required to ensure a 90% confidence interval for p to within 0.02

Answers

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, the minimum sample size required to ensure a 90% confidence interval for p to within 0.02 is of 1692.

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In this problem:

No prior estimate, hence the proportion is [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex].Margin of error of M = 0.02.90% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.9[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex].

Then, solving for n:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.645(0.5)[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645(0.5)}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645(0.5)}{0.02}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 1691.3[/tex]

Rounding up, a sample size of 1692 is needed.
