Several students from boxerville middle stood in a circle, evenly spaced, to play a game. if the 6th student was directly across from the 13th student, how many student were in the circle?

There were 14 students in the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The students stood in a circle

∴ The line joining each two opposite students is the diameter

  of the circle

- The 6th student was directly across from the 13th student

∴ The 6th student is opposite to the 13th student

- Lets count how many students between 6th student and

 13th student

∵ 7th , 8th , 9th , 10th , 11th , 12th students between the 6th

  student and 13th student

∴ There are 6 students between them

- Lets count how many students between 13th student and

 6th student

∵ 14th , 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 5th students between the 13th

  student and 6th student

∴ There are 6 students between them

∵ There are 6 students between 6th and 13th

∵ There are 6 students between 13th and 6th

∵ There are 2 students in 6th and 13th

∴ The number of the students = 6 + 6 + 2 = 14

∴ There were 14 students in the circle

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001420

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001448

white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001005

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001037

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

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
