7/10=0.7

3/4=0.75

7/10 is closest to 3/4 as I showed it above.

2/3=0.67

3/5=0.6

13/20=0.65

All these 3 are not that close to 3/4

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!

Let's start by finding a common denominator for all of these fractions. In this case, we will use 60.
3/4 = 45/60
2/3 = 40/60
3/5 = 36/60
7/10 = 42/60
13/20 = 39/60

The closest to 45/60 is 42/60/ Therefore, 7/10 is the closest to 3/4

FinnZ [79.3K]

The percent of change = ((new value - old value) / old value) × 100%

Our new value = $261.50

Our old value = $382

Plug our values into the equation above.

(($261.50 - $382) / $382) × 100% = -31.54%

According to Padgett Business Services, 20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business i

elena-s [515]

Answer:

a) There is a 6.88% probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

b) There is a 1.93% probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

c) There is a 10.32% probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice.

d) The expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice is 2.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions a), b), c) are all solved as binomial distribution problems.

Question d) is a simple calculation.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

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

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

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

For these problems

12 business owners were contacted, so $n = 12$ .

a. What is the probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice?

20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business is to prepare for long hours and hard work, so $\pi = 0.2$ .

That is P(X=0) when $\pi = 0.2$ .

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{12} = 0.0688$

There is a 6.88% probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

b. What is the probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice?

20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business is to prepare for long hours and hard work, so $\pi = 0.2$ .

This is:

$P = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)$

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

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.0155$

$P(X = 7) = C_{12,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0033$

$P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0005$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.00006$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.000004$

$P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.2)^{11}.(0.8)^{1} = 0.0000002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.000000004$

So:

$P = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.0155 + 0.0033 + 0.0005 + 0.000006 + 0.000004 + 0.0000002 + 0.000000004 = 0.0193$

There is a 1.93% probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

c. What is the probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice?

Twenty-five percent say the most important advice is to have good financing ready, so $\pi = 0.25$

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

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{7} = 0.1032$

There is a 10.32% probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice.

d. What is the expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice?

Nineteen percent say having a good plan is the most important advice, so that is $0.19*12 = 2.28$

The expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice is 2.28

this graph shows the amount of rain that falls in a given amount of time. what is the slope of the line and what does it mean in

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

-5/-2 or 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you gave two points that I'm guessing are from the graph I think that's the answer. Because when you use the slope formula y2-y1 over x2 - x1 you get -5/-2 or you either get 2.5 meaning that is the slope specifically saying the rate of change. You get 2.5 when you divide -5/-2 incase you need a decimal or want to simplfy it.
