At the start of the year a summer holiday to Spain cost £650. It increased by 11% in

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Final cost = £779

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Cost of summer holiday = £650

Amount increased by 11%

Increased cost = 11% of 650

Increased cost = $\frac{11}{100}*650$

Increased cost = 0.11 * 650 = £71.50

Amount after increment = 650 + 71.50 = £721.50

Further increase = 8%

Amount = 0.08 * 721.50 = £57.72

Final cost = 721.50 + 57.72 = £779.22

Thus,

Final cost = £779

A survey is being conducted in a county where 62% of the voters are Democrats and 38% are Republican. (a) What is the probabilit

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the voter is a Democrat, or he is not. The probability of the voter being a Democrat is independent of other voters. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

62% of the voters are Democrats

This means that $p = 0.62$

(a) What is the probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.62)^{2}.(0.38)^{0} = 0.3844$

0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats

The number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body. An 87-kg person contains 58 kg of wat

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

50 kg water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body.

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form $y=kx$ , where y varies directly with x and k is constant of variation.

We are told that an 87-kg person contains 58 kg of water. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$58=k\cdot 87$

Let us find the constant of variation as:

$\frac{58}{87}=\frac{k\cdot 87}{87}$

$\frac{29*2}{29*3}=k$

$\frac{2}{3}=k$

The equation $y=\frac{2}{3}x$ represents the relation between water (y) in a human body with respect to mass of the body (x).

To find the amount of water in a 75-kg person, we will substitute $x=75$ in our given equation and solve for y.

$y=\frac{2}{3}(75)$

$y=2(25)$

$y=50$

Therefore, there are 50 kg of water in a 75-kg person.
