Answer:

73649 of 80000 (or 91.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Note</u>:  An <u>electorate</u> is a person who is <u>entitled to vote</u> in an election - it does not necessarily mean they <u>have</u> voted in the election.

If 36000 votes represents 45% of the <em>electorate </em>(note: it does not say this figure represents 45% of the <em>votes</em>), then the total number of electorates is:

\implies \sf \dfrac{36000}{45}\times 100=80000

If three candidates received 25%, 20% and 6% <u>of the votes</u>, then the winning candidate received:

⇒ 100% - 25% - 20% - 6% = 49% of the votes

If the winning candidate received 36,000 votes, then:

⇒ 49% of the votes = 36,000 votes

Therefore, the total number of votes is:

\implies \sf \dfrac{36000}{49}{ \times 100=73469

To find the percentage of electorates that voted:

\implies \sf \dfrac{73469}{80000} \times 100=91.8\% \:\: (1\:d.p.)

Let's see

Total votes be x

  • 45% of x=3600
  • 0.45x=3600
  • x=3600/0.45
  • x=8000

Now total percentage of vote

  • 45+20+25+6=96%

Not voted=4%

Find not voted

  • 0.04(8000)
  • 320

Total voted

  • 8000-320
  • 7680

Answer:

(8,10) is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuz it’s not on both inequality shaded part but just one of them and also when we substitute one is true and the other one is false

2x + y _< 8

2(8) + 10 _< 8

18 + 10 _< 8

28 _< 8 false

X + y _> 4

8 + 10 -> 4

18 _> 4 true

According to the National Vital Statistics, full-term babies' birth weights are Normally distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds a
Sav [38]

Answer:

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

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

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 7.5, \sigma = 1.1

What is the probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.6 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 6.4. So

X = 8.6

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8.6 - 7.5}{1.1}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 6.4

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6.4 - 7.5}{1.1}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

A) N = 20 ways

a 3​-person subcommittee can be selected from a committee of 6 ​people in 20 ways.

B)N = 120 ways

The president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 ​people in 120 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the number of ways a 3​-person subcommittee be selected from a committee of 6 ​people N;

Since there is no given order for the selection, this means that the order of selection is irrelevant. Therefore, this is a combination problem where order is not considered.

N = nCr

N = 6C3

N = 6!/3!(6-3)! = 6!/3!3!

N = 720/(6×6)

N = 20 ways

a 3​-person subcommittee can be selected from a committee of 6 ​people in 20 ways.

B) the number of ways a president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 ​people N;

In this case, there is a given order of selection for the 3 posts. This is a permutation.

N = nPr

N = 6P3

N = 6!/(6-3)!

N = 6!/3!

N = 120 ways

The president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 ​people in 120 ways.
