In a survey of 400 seniors, x percent said that they plan on majoring in physics. One university has used this data to estimate

the number of physics majors it expects for its entering class of 3,300 students. If the university expects 66 physics majors, what is the value of x

Answer:

2 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two separate fractions, one representing the amount of physics majors expected and the amount of seniors expected in physics majors by the university.

\frac{400x}{66} = \frac{400}{3600}

Now cross multiply.

\frac{66*400}{400x * 3600}

x will be removed.

\frac{26400}{1320000}

Simplifying this fraction will get you \frac{1}{50}, which in percentage form, will be 2 percent.

Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7
