Explain how you solve each problem. Show all your work. Marissa is 3 years older than her younger brother. Her older brother is twice as old as her younger brother. Her older brother is 18. How old are Marissa and her younger brother?

Answers

Answer 1
Note that:Marissa= [tex]x + 3 [/tex]Older brother= 18Younger brother= [tex]\frac {18}{2} [/tex]To find:

The age of Marissa and her younger brother.

Solution:Younger brother:

We know that the older brother's age is 18 and he is twice older than the younger brother.

Let the unknown be "x"

[tex] x=\frac{18}{2} [/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{\sf{x=9 \: years}}[/tex]

Marissa:

Now, we know that the younger brother's age is 9 and Marissa is 3 years older than him.

Let the unknown be "x"

[tex]x=9 + 3[/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{\sf{x=12 \: years}}[/tex]

Therefore, Marissa is 12 and her younger brother is 9

Answer 2

Answer:

Marissa's age = 12

Younger brother's age = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of Marissa be x, and her younger brother's y.

Equations formed :

x = y + 32y = 18

Finding age of younger brother using Equation 2 :

⇒ 2y = 18

⇒ 2y/2 = 18/2

y = 9 years old

Substituting y in Equation 1 :

⇒ x = y + 3

⇒ x = 9 + 3

x = 12 years old

Marissa's age = 12

Younger brother's age = 9

Answer:

a) 11/100

b) 60 times

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

We want to find the probability that a 3 will be rolled.

Probability = # of favorable outcomes / total # of outcomes.

Here the number of favorable outcomes will be the number of times a 3 was rolled and the total number of outcomes will simply be the # of times that the dice was rolled which can be calculated by finding the sum of the frequencies of each number.

So # of favorable outcomes = 11 ( as the dice was rolled on a 3 11 times.)

And the total number of outcomes would be 100 ( the sum of the frequencies , 12 + 35 + 11 + 23 + 7 + 12 = 100 )

So the probability of rolling a 3 would be 11/100

b)

For this part we want to find the expected times that a 6 would be rolled if we rolled the die 500 more times.

To calculate this we simply find the probability of rolling a 6 and then multiply that by 500.

So again probability = # of favorable outcomes / total # of outcomes.

Here # of favorable outcomes is frequency of rolling a 6 which would be 12 and the total number of outcomes is 100 as we found out during the last part.

So the probability of rolling a 6 is 12/100 or 3/25

We then multiply this by 500 to find the expected number of times a 6 would be rolled if the dice was rolled 500 more times

So our answer = 3/25 × 500 = 60 times

The cost and customer rating of 15 cars is shown on the scatterplot. The cars are

Rating
60

Answers

Based on the relationship between the ratings and cost, the association is a positive correlation. The data point that affects the appropriateness of using linear regression is $4,200 and 15 rating.

A car that is cost effective and rated highly is the data point (3,500,100).

What does the scatterplot show on cost and customer rating?

In general, the cost of cars shown is higher when the customer reviews are high as well. This shows a positive correlation between cost and customer ratings.

The car at (4,200, 15) is an outlier because it is expensive and yet has low ratings. It would therefore affect a linear regression model if one is used to fit the data shown.

The car at (3,500, 100) is cost-effective and rated high because it is not as expensive as a lot of other cars, and yet has the highest customer rating of 100.

assuming that these wages constitute an entire population, find the standard deviation of the population. round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

The standard deviation of the population dataset is 9.35

How to determine the standard deviation?

The dataset is given as:

18, 14, 35, 34, 11, 26

Start by calculating the mean using:

Mean = Sum/Count

This gives:

[tex]\bar x = (18+ 14+ 35+ 34+ 11+ 26)/6[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]\bar x = 23[/tex]

The standard deviation is then calculated using:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x - \bar x)^2}{n}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(18 - 23)^2 + (14- 23)^2 + (35- 23)^2 + (34- 23)^2 + (11- 23)^2 + (26- 23)^2}{6}}[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{524}{6}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\sigma = 9.35[/tex]

Hence, the standard deviation of the population is 9.35
