Step-by-step explanation:
26% is (26-20)/(50-20) = 6/30 = 1/5 of the way between 20% and 50%. That means 1/5 of the solution is 50% acid.
50% acid: 1/5 · 100 mL = 20 mL
20% acid: 100 mL -20 mL = 80 mL
Delbert must mix 80 mL of 20% acid and 20 mL of 50% acid.
_____
Maybe you'd like to see an equation. Let x represent the amount of 50% acid required. Then 100-x is the amount of 20% acid needed. The amount of acid in the mix is ...
0.50(x) +0.20(100 -x) = 0.26(100)
(0.50 -0.20)x = (0.26 -0.20)100 . . . . subtract 0.20(100)
x = (0.26 -0.20)/(0.50 -0.20)×100 = 20
This last expression should look a lot like the one we started with in this answer. It shows you how you can almost write down the answer to mixture problems without a lot of work.
Answer:
The probability that 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish is 76%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample of 75 Americans
If 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish, it can be deduced that 24% do not speak Spanish.
The proportion of those who do not speak Spanish is 18 (24% of 75)
Therefore, the proportion of those who speak Spanish is 57 (75 - 19)
This implies that 57/75 x 100 = 76% of the sample speak Spanish.
This 76% of the sample who speak Spanish is equal to the 25% or more who do speak Spanish in the sample.
Probability is the chance that an event may occur from many other events that could have occurred. It is an educated guess or estimate of something or one event happening when all the events in the set are given an equal chance.
