Marcus builds kites for a 14 day summer kite festival he plans to give away about the same number of kites each day he gives away 492 kites the first two days did Marcus stick to his plan?

He did not stick to plan; he does not have enough kites.

Step-by-step explanation:

A key information is missing from the question, the number of kites that Marcus made.

After a quick web search, I have found that, in this problem, Marcus has built 2,744 kites in total.

It is know that he gave away 492 kites in the first two days, in a 14 day festival, there are 7 two-day periods. The number of kites required for Marcus to keep that same rate throughout the whole festival is:

Therefore, Marcus did not stick to his plan since he would have needed 3,444 kites to give kites away at the same rate as he did for the first couple days. This could also be interpreted as Marcus giving away too many kites in the first couple days.

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:

non hispanic white population

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
