Mr Smith had four daughters.Each daughter has four brothers.How many children does Mr Smith have
Starting off, you already know he has 4 daughters and for every daughter there are 4 sons.
So, we take the 4 daughters and add 4 to each one:
1 daughter + 4 sons = 5 children
We complete that equation 4 times for each daughter, and we end up with 20 children as our answer.
Hope this helps you out a bit! Stay safe and stay healthy! :D
Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution.show all steps and write the solution in (x,y) form.
Answer:
(-2, -3)Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Consider the following pair of equations:
y = 3x + 3 ... 1
y = x − 1 ... 2
Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form .
From both equations, we will substitute y = 3x+3 in equation 1 into 2 to have;
3x+3 = x-1
collecting the like terms;
3x-x = -1-3
2x = -4
Dividing both sides by 2 will give;
2x/2 = -4/2
x = -2
Substituting x = -2 into equation 1;
y = 3x+3
y = 3(-2)+3
y = -6+3
y = -3
The solution in (x, y) form is (-2, -3)

According to Net Market Share, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has 53.4% of the global market. A random sample of 70 users was selected. What is the probability that 32 or more from this sample used Internet Explorer as their browser?
Answer:
Probability that 32 or more from this sample used Internet Explorer as their browser is 0.9015.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that according to Net Market Share, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has 53.4% of the global market.
A random sample of 70 users was selected.
Let [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of users who used Internet Explorer as their browser.
The z score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, p = population proportion of users who use internet explorer = 53.4%
[tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion = [tex]\frac{32}{70}[/tex] = 0.457
n = sample of users = 70
Now, probability that 32 or more from this sample used Internet Explorer as their browser is given by = P( [tex]\hat p[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 0.457)
P( [tex]\hat p[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 0.457) = P( [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] [tex]\frac{0.457-0.534}{\sqrt{\frac{0.457(1-0.457)}{70} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\geq[/tex] -1.29)
= P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.29) = 0.9015
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.29 in the z table which has an area of 0.9015.

We will apply Sine rule in the given triangle to find the unknown sides.
By Sine rule,
[tex]\frac{SinB}{AC}=\frac{SinA}{BC}=\frac{SinC}{AB}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Sin35}{450}=\frac{Sin85}{AC}=\frac{Sin60}{AB}[/tex] [Since m∠A = 180° - (85 + 60)° = 35°]
[tex]\frac{Sin35}{450}=\frac{Sin85}{AC}[/tex]
AC = [tex]\frac{450\times \text{Sin85}}{\text{Sin35}}[/tex]
= 781.57 meters
[tex]\frac{Sin35}{450}=\frac{Sin60}{AB}[/tex]
AB = [tex]\frac{450\times \text{Sin60}}{\text{Sin35}}[/tex]
= 679.44 meters
Perimeter of the triangle = AB + BC + AC
= 679.44 + 450 + 781.57
= 1911.01
≈ 1911 meters
Therefore, the race covers 1911 meters.

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.90. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?
Answer:
4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.
Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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.
If [tex]Z \leq 2[/tex] or [tex]Z \geq 2[/tex], the outcome X is considered to be unusual.
In this question:
[tex]\mu = 8.21, \sigma = 1.9[/tex]
Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{5 - 8.21}{1.9}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.69[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.69[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0455.
4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.
Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

A stock's price fluctuations are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $104.50 and a standard deviation of $23.62. You decide to purchase whenever the price reaches its lowest 10% of values. What is the most you would be willing to pay for the stock?
a) $80.88
b) $74.23
c) $84.62
d) $134.77
Answer:
[tex]P(z<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]
and we can set up the following equation
tex]z=-1.282<\frac{a-104.5}{23.62}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=104.5 -1.282*23.62=74.22[/tex]
And the best answer for this case would be:
b) $74.23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the stocks price of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(104.5,23.62)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=104.5[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=23.62[/tex]
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
[tex]P(X>a)=0.90[/tex] (a)
[tex]P(X<a)=0.10[/tex] (b)
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.10 of the area on the left and 0.90 of the area on the right it's z=-1.282. On this case P(Z<-1.282)=0.10 and P(z>-1.282)=0.90
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
[tex]P(X<a)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]
[tex]P(z<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]
and we can set up the following equation
tex]z=-1.282<\frac{a-104.5}{23.62}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=104.5 -1.282*23.62=74.22[/tex]
And the best answer for this case would be:
b) $74.23

Complete Question
The complete qustion is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The correct option is B
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 49[/tex]
The mean is [tex]\mu = 17ppb[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14 ppb[/tex]
Generally the standard error of this measurement is mathematically represented as
[tex]\sigma_z = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 2[/tex]ppb
Now the probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb represented as P(X < 15 )
Next is to find the z value
[tex]z = \frac{\mu -\sigma }{\sigma_{\= x}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{15-17}{2}[/tex]
[tex]z = -1[/tex]
Now checking the z-table for the z-score of -1 we have
[tex]P(X<15) = P(Z < -1 )= 0.16[/tex]
Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.16 = 16% probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb, hence option B is correct.
In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
It 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, which is the percentile of X. By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], considering a sample size of at least 30 for a skewed variable.In this problem:
Mean of 17 ppb, hence [tex]\mu = 17[/tex].Standard deviation of 14 ppb, hence [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex].Sample of 49, hence [tex]n = 49, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = 2[/tex]The probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb is the p-value of Z when X = 15, hence:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{15 - 17}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.16
0.16 = 16% probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb, hence option B is correct.

A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground. Six hundredSix hundred and sixtyand sixty feet of fencing is used. Find the dimensions of the playground that maximize the total enclosed area. What is the maximum area?
Answer:
Dimensions: 165 feet by 110 feet.
Maximum Area =18,150 Square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the dimension of the playground be x and y.
The rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground.
Let the side parallel to one side of the playground =x
Therefore, the total length of fencing =2x+x+2y
P=3x+2y
Six hundred and sixty feet of fencing is used.
We have: 3x+2y=660
3x=660-2y
[tex]x=\dfrac{660-2y}{3}[/tex]
Area of the Playground A=xy
We write the area in terms of y by substitution of x derived above.
[tex]A(y)=y\left(\dfrac{660-2y}{3}\right )\\A(y)=\dfrac{660y-2y^2}{3}[/tex]
We want to maximize the total enclosed area.
To do this, we first find the derivative of A(y).
[tex]A'(y)=\dfrac{660-4y}{3}[/tex]
Next, we solve A'(y) for its critical point.
[tex]A'(y)=\dfrac{660-4y}{3}=0\\660-4y=0\\660=4y\\y=660 \div 4\\y=165$ feet\\[/tex]
Recall that: [tex]x=\dfrac{660-2y}{3}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]x=\dfrac{660-2(165)}{3}=\dfrac{660-330}{3}=\dfrac{330}{3}\\x=110$ feet[/tex]
Therefore, the dimensions of the playground that maximize the total enclosed area is 165 feet by 110 feet.
Maximum Area =165 X 110
=18,150 Square feet
Answer:
Dimensions: 165 feet by 110 feet.
Maximum Area =18,150 Square feet
Maximum Area =165 X 110
=18,150 Square feet
Suppose P(x) represents the profit on the sale of x Blu-ray discs. If P(1,000) = 5,000 and P'(1,000) = −3, what do these values tell you about the profit? P(1,000) represents the profit on the sale of Blu-ray discs. P(1,000) = 5,000, so the profit on the sale of Blu-ray discs is $ . P'(x) represents the as a function of x. P'(1,000) = −3, so the profit is decreasing at the rate of $ per additional Blu-ray disc sold.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that P(x) is the profit of saling x blu ray discs. P(1000) is our profit for selling 1000 blu ray discs. So, our profit is 5000. Recall that the derivative P'(x) represents the rate at which the function P(x) is increasing/decreasing (increasing if P'(x) is positive, or decreasing otherwise) by increasing the values of x. In this case P'(1000)=-3, so the profit will decrease -3 if we increase x in one unit.

Eighty percent of all California drivers wear seat belts. If three drivers are pulled over,
what is the probability that all would be wearing their seat belts? Write as a percent to the nearest tenth. Thanks!
Answer:
The probability that the three drivers would wear seat belts is 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Percentage of drivers using seat belt = 80%
Number of drivers pulled over = 3
Required
Probability that all three drivers wore seat belt
First, the probability that a driver would wear seat belt has to be calculated.
Let's represent that with P(D)
P(D) is equivalent to the percentage of drivers using seat belt
[tex]P(D) = 80%[/tex]%
[tex]P(D) = \frac{80}{100}[/tex]
[tex]P(D) = 0.8[/tex]
Let the probability that the three drivers would wear seat belts be represented as P(All).
P(All) is calculated as thus;
(Probability that the first driver would wear seat belt) and (Probability that the second driver would wear seat belt) and (Probability that the first driver would wear seat belt).
Mathematically, this means
[tex]P(All) = P(D) * P(D) * P(D)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]P(D) = 0.8[/tex]
[tex]P(All) = 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8[/tex]
[tex]P(All) = 0.512[/tex]
[tex]P(All) = 0.5[/tex] --- Approximated
Hence, the probability that the three drivers would wear seat belts is 0.5

A box contains five keys, only one of which will open a lock. Keys are randomly selected and tried, one at a time, until the lock is opened (keys that do not work are discarded before another is tried). Let Y be the number of the trial on which the lock is opened. Find the probability function for Y.
The "density of probability" is represented by the Y-axis in the normal distribution.It indicates the likelihood of finding values close to comparable places on the X-axis.
Find the probability f ?Y is the number of trial on which lock is opend so, P(Y=y) be the probability that key opens the lock on y th trial Lets draw first key
p(1 st key opens the lock) =1-1/5= 4/5
Hence p(1 st key does not open the lock = 1- 1/5 =4/5
Since p (Lock is opened on 1 st triual ) = p(1st key opens the lock )
Hence , P(Y =2 ) 1/4 .4/5 = 1/5
p( y = 4) = 1/5
p(y = 5 ) =1/5

II. The results of a recent survey indicate that the average new car costs $23,000, with a standard deviation of $3,500. The price of cars is normally distributed. a. What is a Z score for a car with a price of $33,000? b. What is a Z score for a car with a price of $30,000?
Answer:
a) Z = 2.86
b) Z = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 23000, \sigma = 3500[/tex]
a. What is a Z score for a car with a price of $33,000?
This is Z when X = 33000. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{33000 - 23000}{3500}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.86[/tex]
b. What is a Z score for a car with a price of $30,000?
This is Z when X = 30000. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{30000 - 23000}{3500}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2[/tex]
