last year 1/5 of the students in your class played a sport this year 10 students join the class five of the new students play a sport now 1/4 of the students play a sport how many students are in your class now

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

last year 1/5 of the class played sports, so s = (1/5) c

the next year, s increased by 5, c increased by 10 and the fraction changed to 1/4, so for the next year (s+5) = (1/4)(c+10)

To solve this we can substitute s = (1/5)c from the first equation into the second, so

((1/5)c + 5)=(1/4)(c+10), simplify both sides

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 10/4, simplify 10/4 to 5/2

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 5/2, multiply both sides by 20 to eliminate fractions (least common multiple of 2, 4 and 5)

4c + 100 = 5c + 50, subtract 4c, subtract 50 from both sides

50 = c, number of students in class last year was 50, this year is 10 more, so this year is 60

A jellyfish travels 3/5 mile in 1/6 hour and a walrus travels 5/6 mile in 3/10 hour.

Answers

Answer:

The jellyfish travels faster than the walrus

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A jellyfish travels 3/5 mile in 1/6 hour

Distance= 3/5 mile

time= 1/6 hour

speed= distance/time

speed= 3/5/1/6

speed= 3/5*6/1

speed= 18 mile per hour

a walrus travels 5/6 mile in 3/10 hour.

Distance= 5/6 mile

time= 3/10 hour.

speed= distance/time

speed= 5/6/3/10

speed= 5/6*10/3

speed= 50/18 mile per hour

Answer:
the first answer is 3 3/5
the second answer is 2 7/9
the third answer is “greater than” and then “jellyfish”

A university considers giving only pass/fail grades to freshmen to reduce competition and stress. The student newspaper interviews faculty members and reports their opinions of the proposed policy. Suppose that 70% of the faculty favor the pass/fail proposal. Assuming 50 faculty members are interviewed. The goal is to find the probability that a majority (26 or more) will favor the proposal.

Answers

Answer:

0.9983 = 99.83% probability that a majority will favor the proposal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Suppose that 70% of the faculty favor the pass/fail proposal. Assuming 50 faculty members are interviewed.

This means, respectively, that [tex]p = 0.7, n = 50[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 50*0.7 = 35[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.7*0.3} = 3.24[/tex]

Probability that a majority (26 or more) will favor the proposal.

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 26 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 25.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{25.5 - 35}{3.24}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.93[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.93[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0017

1 - 0.0017 = 0.9983

0.9983 = 99.83% probability that a majority will favor the proposal.

Line A is represented by the equation given below:

x + y = 4

What is most likely the equation for line B, so that the set of equations has infinitely many solutions? (1 point)

4x + 4y = 4
4x + y = 4
2x + 2y = 8
x + y = 8

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y = 4

dividing both sides by 2,we get

x + y = 4,which is the same line A

so this set of equations has infinitely many solutions as they intersect each other at infinite points i.e they overlap eachother

The diameter of a circle is 4 cm. Find its area in terms of \piπ.

Answers

Answer:

Area of circle = 4π.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Diameter = 4cm

Pie = π.

To find the area of the circle;

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 4/2

Radius = 2cm

Area of a circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area of circle = π*2²

Area of circle = 4π.

2) distance = 4 km

Displacement = 4 km east

3) distance = 35 km

Displacement = 5 km north

Step-by-step explanation:

2. He runs for 3 km in the east direction and then stops.. He now runs another 1 km in the same direction then stops.. Thus,

Total distance covered = 3 + 1 = 4 km

Total displacement is how far he is from his starting point = 3 + 1 = 4 km east

3) Runs 20km north and then runs 15 km back from starting point.

Thus;

Total distance covered = 20 + 15 = 35 km

Total displacement is distance from starting point = 20 - 15 = 5 km north

Subtracted because an opposite direction was taken after the 20km back to her starting point.

a woman spent 3/5 of her weekly salary on rent and 25% of her weekly salary on food. Her food cost $2500. How much did she spend on rent

Answers

Answer:

$6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If her food costed $2500 and was 25%, then she had $10,000 to begin with. 3/5 of $10,000 is $6,000, so her rent costs $6,000.

Answer:

$6,000 on rent

Step-by-step explanation:

Find her weekly salary by dividing 2500 by 0.25

2500/0.25

= 10,000

Now, find how much she spent on rent by multiplying 10,000 by 3/5

10,000(3/5)

= 6,000

So, she spent $6,000 on rent

Starting price is : $248.50
Price with 25% off :
$248.50 x ( 1 - 0.25 ) = $248.50 x 0.75 = $186.375
After that she has to pay 5 % sales tax:
$186.375 x 1.05 = $195.70
Answer:
The total cost of the items is $195.70. So A is your final answer.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, discrete data is separate, by itself, but continuous data goes on and can have numbers in between.  So this problem is c = 12p is the cost of pizzas, you can have 1 pizza, 2 pizzas, 10 pizzas, 30 pizzas, etc., but you can't have 2.1314552 pizzas or 4.5, etc., so the data is discrete. Think of the graph, you would not connect the dots if you were graphing this data.

A number, x, rounded to 1 decimal place is 3.7
Write down the error interval for x.

Answers

Answer: (3.65, 3.74)

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, when we round a number to a given decimal place, we need to look at the decimal to the left of the decimal place where we are rounding.

if it is 5 or more, we round up

if it is smaller than 5, we round down.

Then for example, if we want to round:

4.534

to the first decimal place, we need to look at the second decimal place.

we can see that it is a 2.

Then we round down, and get:

4.5

Now we know that, when rounding to the first decimal place, we have:

x = 3.7

Then the maximum value that x could have is:

x = 3.74 (because here we round down to 3.7)

and the minimum value that x could have is:

x = 3.65 (because here we round up to 3.7)

Then the error interval for x is:

(3.65, 3.74)
