Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that the father is 60 years old, and the son is half of that age, so this means that the son is 30 years old.
We want to see the age the son was at when the father was four times his age. We know that the father is thirty years older than him, so we can write this equation with s representing the age of the son.
s+30=4s (30 years older than the son is equal to to four times the son's age at the time)
We subtract 30 from both sides.
s=4s-30
We subtract 4s from both sides.
-3s=-30
We divide both sides by -3.
s=10
Therefore, the boy was 10 when his father was four times his age. This is because his father would have been 40 because that is 30 more years than 10, and it is four times ten!

Calculate: 1/(1×3) + 1/(3×5) + ... + 1/(47×49) . Please give explanation
Answer:
4611/11515
Step-by-step explanation:
1/(1×3)- 1 times 3 simply equals 3. so the answer would be 1/3.
1/(3×5)- 3 times 5 simply equals 15. so the answer would be 1/15.
1/(47×49)- 47 times 49 is 2303. so the answer would be 1/2303.
after all this you find the common deonomator. The common denominator is 34545. 34545 divided by 3 equals to 11515 so you muliplty that number by 1/3. 34545 divided by 15 equals to 2303 so you muliplty that number by 1/15.
34545 divided by 2303 equals to 15 so you multiply that number by 1/2303. After adding all that together you get 13833/34545. However after you simplify that number you get 4611/11515
URGENT!!!!!! A 5 inch × 7 inch photograph is placed inside a picture frame. Both the length and width of the frame are 2x inches larger than the width and length of the photograph. Which expression represents the perimeter of the frame? REPLY IN COMMENTS PLEASE IM GLITCHING AND CANT SEE ANSWERS
Answer:
the perimeter of the square is just "(5+2x)(2)+(7+2x)(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 × 10 + 2 × 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The frame is given to have measurements 2 times that of the photograph's measurements. We also know that the photograph is given by dimensions being 5 inch by 7 inch. Therefore the measurements of the frame should be 5 [tex]*[/tex] 2, which = 10 inches, by 7 [tex]*[/tex] 2 = 14 inches.
So the dimensions of the frame are 10 inch × 14 inch. As the frame is present as a rectangle, the perimeter is given by two times both dimensions together. That would be represented by the expression " 2 × 10 inch + 2 × 14 inch. " In other words you can say that the expression is 2 × 10 + 2 × 14 - the expression that represents the perimeter of the frame.

A web page is accessed at an average of 20 times an hour. Assume that waiting time until the next hit has an exponential distribution. (a.) Determine the rate parameter λ of the distribution of the time until the first hit? (b.) What is the expected time between hits? (c.) What is the probability that t
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
A web page is accessed at an average of 20 times an hour.
Therefore:
a. he rate parameter λ of the distribution of the time until the first hit = 20
b. What is the expected time between hits?
Let consider E(Y) to be the expected time between the hits; Then :
E(Y) = 1/λ
E(Y) = 1/20
E(Y) = 0.05 hours
E(Y) = 3 minutes
(c.) What is the probability that there will be less than 5 hits in the first hour?
Let consider X which follows Poisson Distribution; Then,
P(X<5) [tex]\sim[/tex] G(∝=5, λ = 20)
For 5 hits ; the expected time will be :
Let 5 hits be X
E(X) = ∝/λ
E(X) = 5/20
E(X) =1/4
E(X) = 0.25 hour
E(X) = 15 minutes
From above ; we will see that it took 15 minutes to get 5 hits; then
[tex]P(\tau \geq 0.25) = \int\limits^{\alpha}_{0.25} \dfrac{\lambda^{\alpha}}{\ulcorner^{\alpha}} t^{a\pha-1} \ e^{-\lambda t} \, dt[/tex]
[tex]P(\tau \geq 0.25) = \int\limits^{5}_{0.25} \dfrac{20^{5}}{\ulcorner^{5}} t^{5-1} \ e^{-20 t} \, dt[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{P(\tau \geq 0.25) =0.4405}[/tex]
Which of the following is a point-slope equation of a line that passes through
the points (5,2) and (-1,-6)?
A. y-2-(X-5)
B. y-2-(X-5)
C. y-2 =(x-5
D. V-2--0-5)
Please, check the options of the question. The point-slope equation needs the slope, m, in the equation.
Answer:
The point-slope equation of the points (5,2) and (-1,-6) is
[tex] \\ y - 2 = \frac{4}{3}(x-5)[/tex] or,
[tex] \\ y + 6 = \frac{4}{3}(x+1)[/tex]
which are the same as
[tex] \\ 3y-4x+14 = 0[/tex] , (which is not a point-slope equation, though)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope equation is given by:
[tex] \\ y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})[/tex]
Where m is the slope of the line:
[tex] \\ m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]
Having the points (5,2) and (-1,-6), then
[tex] \\ m = \frac{-6 - 2}{-1 -5}[/tex]
[tex] \\ m = \frac{-8}{-6}[/tex]
[tex] \\ m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Then, the point-slope equation of the points (5,2) and (-1,-6) is
[tex] \\ y - 2 = \frac{4}{3}(x-5)[/tex] or
[tex] \\ y + 6 = \frac{4}{3}(x+1)[/tex]

Triangle ABC has vertices A(-5, -2), B(7, -5), and C(3, 1). Find the coordinates of the intersection of the three altitudes
Answer:
Orthocentre (intersection of altitudes) is at (37/10, 19/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given three vertices of a triangle
A(-5, -2)
B(7, -5)
C(3, 1)
Solution A by geometry
Slope AB = (yb-ya) / (xb-xa) = (-5-(-2)) / (7-(-5)) = -3/12 = -1/4
Slope of line normal to AB, nab = -1/(-1/4) = 4
Altitude of AB = line through C normal to AB
(y-yc) = nab(x-xc)
y-1 = (4)(x-3)
y = 4x-11 .........................(1)
Slope BC = (yc-yb) / (xc-yb) = (1-(-5) / (3-7)= 6 / (-4) = -3/2
Slope of line normal to BC, nbc = -1 / (-3/2) = 2/3
Altitude of BC
(y-ya) = nbc(x-xa)
y-(-2) = (2/3)(x-(-5)
y = 2x/3 + 10/3 - 2
y = (2/3)(x+2) ........................(2)
Orthocentre is at the intersection of (1) & (2)
Equate right-hand sides
4x-11 = (2/3)(x+2)
Cross multiply and simplify
12x-33 = 2x+4
10x = 37
x = 37/10 ...................(3)
substitute (3) in (2)
y = (2/3)(37/10+2)
y=(2/3)(57/10)
y = 19/5 ......................(4)
Therefore the orthocentre is at (37/10, 19/5)
Alternative Solution B using vectors
Let the position vectors of the vertices represented by
a = <-5, -2>
b = <7, -5>
c = <3, 1>
and the position vector of the orthocentre, to be found
d = <x,y>
the line perpendicular to BC through A
(a-d).(b-c) = 0 "." is the dot product
expanding
<-5-x,-2-y>.<4,-6> = 0
simplifying
6y-4x-8 = 0 ...................(5)
Similarly, line perpendicular to CA through B
<b-d>.<c-a> = 0
<7-x,-5-y>.<8,3> = 0
Expand and simplify
-3y-8x+41 = 0 ..............(6)
Solve for x, (5) + 2(6)
-20x + 74 = 0
x = 37/10 .............(7)
Substitute (7) in (6)
-3y - 8(37/10) + 41 =0
3y = 114/10
y = 19/5 .............(8)
So orthocentre is at (37/10, 19/5) as in part A.
in the diagram ,a and 46° are complementary angles. It is given that a and b are supplementary angles and the angle conjugate to c is 283°. Calculate the values of a,b,c and d. pleaseeeee answer soonn
Answer:
[tex]a=44^{\circ},b=136^{\circ},c=77^{\circ},d=57^{\circ}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a and 46° are complementary angles.
[tex]a+46^{\circ}=90^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]a=90^{\circ}-46^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]a=44^{\circ}[/tex]
It is given that a and b are supplementary angles.
[tex]a+b=180^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]44^{\circ}+b=180^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]b=180^{\circ}-44^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]b=136^{\circ}[/tex]
Angle conjugate to c is 283°.
[tex]c+283^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]c=360^{\circ}-283^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]c=77^{\circ}[/tex]
Sum of all angles at a point is 360 degrees.
[tex]a+b+c+d+46^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]44^{\circ}+136^{\circ}+77^{\circ}+d+46^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]d+303^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]d=360^{\circ}-303^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]d=57^{\circ}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]a=44^{\circ},b=136^{\circ},c=77^{\circ},d=57^{\circ}[/tex].
At what point does the line
Y = -1/2 X + 2 intercept the Y-axis?
A. - 1
B. -1/2
C. 1
D. 2
E. -2
Answer:
D. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is when the graph crosses the y-axis when x = 0. In that case, simply plug in x as 0:
y = -1/2(0) + 2
y = 2
Therefore, the graph crosses the y-axis at 2.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
our equation is y= [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex] x +2
-1/2 is the slope 2 is the y-interceptso the answer is 2
if we want to verify our answer we can follow these steps
the y-intercept is given by calculating the image of 0
y= -1/2*0+2 = 2so it's right
Determine if the survey question is biased. If the question is biased, suggest a better wording. How often do you eat fruit during an average week?
1. Is the question biased?
A. Yes, because it influences the respondent into thinking that eating fruit is good for you. A better question would be "Do you think that eating fruit is good for you?"
B. No, because it influences the respondent into thinking that eating fruit is good for you.
C. Yes, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer. A better question would be "Why is eating fruit good for you?"
D. No, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer.
2. Choose the best question below.
A. Do you think that eating fast food is good for you?
B. Do you think that eating fast food is bad for you?
C. Why is eating fast food bad for you?
D. The original question is not biased.
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1. No, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer (D)
2. The original question is not biased (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
In developing survey questions, response biases are tendencies for respondents to respond inaccurately or falsely to a particular question and this largely has to do with the way the questions are framed. Biased questions build preconceived thoughts in the mind of the respondent, increasing the tendency for them to lean towards a particular answer.
In this example, the question "How often do you eat fruit during an average week?" is not biased because it does not suggest to the respondent whether eating fruits is good or bad, it just directs the respondent to a particular number, hence the question is not biased.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the
given line and has an x-intercept of -3?
O y = x + 3
O y = ?X + 2
Oy=-3x + 3
y=-3x+2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and has an x-intercept of -3 is y= 2/3x + 2.
What is Slope?A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the
change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,
m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope
We have a graph.
So, slope of line in graph is
= (-1-1)/ (0.-3)
= -2/ (-3)
= 2/3
and, we know that two parallel line have same slope.
so, the slope of parallel line is 2/3 and the x intercept is -3.
So, the Equation line is y= 2/3 x + b
0 = 2/3 (-3) +b
b= 2
Thus, the required equation is y= 2/3x + 2.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
y > 2x + 2
y ≥ One-halfx + 1
y > 2x + 1
y ≥ One-halfx + 2
Answer: y > 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In the graph first, we can see two things:
The line is not solid (so the values in the line are not included), and the shaded part is above, so we will be using the symbol:
y > f(x)
Now, in the line we can see that when x = 0, y = 1.
So the linear equation must be something like:
f(x) = a*x + 1
The only one that has an y-intercept equal to 1 is y > 2x + 1

Answer:
A). A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)
B). DA/Dt = np(1+r/n)^(t)
C). A(5) =$ 5664.0
D).t = approximately 13.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)
P = $5000
n= t
r= 2.5%
After five years t = 5
A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)
A(5) = 5000(1+0.025/5)^(5*5)
A(5) = 5000(1+0.005)^(25)
A(5)= 5000(1.005)^(25)
A(5) = 5000(1.132795575)
A(5) = 5663.977875
A(5) =$ 5664.0
When the balance A= $7000
A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)
7000= 5000(1+0.025/n)^(nt)
But n= t
7000= 5000(1+0.025/t)^(t²)
7000/5000= (1+0.025/t)^(t²)
1.4= (1+0.025/t)^(t²)
Using trial and error
t = approximately 13.5 years

A keypad at the entrance of a building has 10 buttons labeled 0 through 9. What is the probability of a person correctly guessing a 9-digit entry code if they know that no digits repeat?
Answer:
the probability of a person correctly guessing a 9-digit entry code if they know that no digits repeat is 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that probability= number of required outcomes /number of all possible outcome.
From the given information;
the number of required outcome is guessing a 9-digit = 1 outcome
the number of all possible outcome = ¹⁰C₉ since there are 10 numbers and 9 number are to be selected.
Since there are only 9-digit that opens the lock;
the probability of a person correctly guessing a 9-digit entry code is

Choose the correct answer below. A. The data set is neither continuous nor discrete. B. A continuous data set because there are infinitely many possible values and those values can be counted C. A continuous data set because there are infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be counted D. A discrete data set because there are a finite number of possible values
Answer:
D. A discrete data set because there are a finite number of possible values.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming in a test of a method of gender selection, 725 couples used the XSORT method and 368 of them had baby girls. The value given is from a discrete data set because there are a finite number of possible values.
In Mathematics, a discrete data is a data set in which the number of possible values are either finite or countable.
On the other hand, a continuous data is a data set having infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be counted, meaning they are uncountable.
Hence, if 725 couples used the XSORT method and 368 of them had baby girls; this is a discrete data because the values (725 and 368) are finite and can be counted.

According to genetic theory, there is a very close to even chance that both children in a two child family will be of the same gender. Here are two possibilities.
(i). 24 couples have two children. In 16 or more of these families, it will turn out that both children are of the same gender.
(ii). 12 couples have two children. In 8 or more of these families, it will turn out that both children are of the same gender. Which possibility is more likely and why?
Answer:
Therefore scenario (ii) is more likely to occur than scenario (i), and by almost 3 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) probability with 16 success out of 24 = 16/24 = 2/3
(ii) (i) probability with 8 success out of 12 = 8/12 = 2/3
Since the two experiments have the same probability, the observed probabilities are the same.
HOWEVER, since the theoretically probability is 1/2, 16.7% less than the experimental results, the number N of trials comes into play.
Using the binomial distribution,
(i)
p = 1/2
N = 24
x = 16 (number of successes)
P(16,24) = C(24,16) p^16* (1-p)^8
= 735471* (1/65536)*(1/256)
= 0.0438
(ii)
p = 1/2
N = 12
x = 8 (number of successes)
P(8,12) = C(12,8) p^8* (1-p)^4
= 495*1/256*1/16
= 0.1208
Therefore scenario (ii) is more likely to occur than scenario (i), and by almost 3 times.
Note: It would help to mention the topic you're on so answers will correspond to what is expected. Here we cover probability and binomial distribution.
Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 63%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 114 students were examined and 51% had finished in 4 years or less. To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased (at the 5% level of signficance), what is the critical value
Answer:
z(c) = - 1,64
We reject the null hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve a proportion test ( one tail-test ) left test
Normal distribution
p₀ = 63 %
proportion size p = 51 %
sample size n = 114
At 5% level of significance α = 0,05, and with this value we find in z- table z score of z(c) = 1,64 ( critical value )
Test of proportion:
H₀ Null Hypothesis p = p₀
Hₐ Alternate Hypothesis p < p₀
We now compute z(s) as:
z(s) = ( p - p₀ ) / √ p₀q₀/n
z(s) =( 0,51 - 0,63) / √0,63*0,37/114
z(s) = - 0,12 / 0,045
z(s) = - 2,66
We compare z(s) and z(c)
z(s) < z(c) - 2,66 < -1,64
Therefore as z(s) < z(c) z(s) is in the rejection zone we reject the null hypothesis
