PLEASE HELP FAST!! Lake Alice is filled with alligators and turtles. The number of turtles is 16 less than 3 times the number of alligators in the lake. There are 200 reptiles total. Create an equation along with the correct answer to it. What does your answer mean in terms of the real-world scenario? (interpret it).

72 alligators, 128 turtles

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put the words into the form of an equation, with a being alligators, you get

3a-16=200

So you have to do 'letters left numbers right'. This gives you

3a=216

Now you have to divide. 216 divided by 3 equals 72. So there are 72 alligators. 200 minus 72 equals 128, so there are 128 turtles

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
