Answer:

30 students

100 ÷ 20 = 50

60 ÷ 2 = 30 students

30 of the 50 students are 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of 50

60 : 100

X : 50

60/100 × 50

3/5 × 50 = 30

Answer:

60 ÷ 2 = the number of students who are 12 years old.

60 ÷ 2 = 30 students

30 of the 50 students are 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the percent to a decimal

.60 *50 =30

We can rewrite the decimal as a fraction

60/100 *50

We can change the order

60 * 50/100

60 *1/2

Multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2

60 ÷ 2 = the number of students who are 12 years old.

60 ÷ 2 = 30 students

30 of the 50 students are 12 years old.

A pair of dice is rolled. Find the probability for P(not 2 or not 12)
irakobra [83]

Answer:

There’s only one way to get 12 when 2 dice are tossed, both have to equal 6. There are 6 ways tossing a single die can come out (1,2,3,4,5,6), so if you toss dice, the second die could have any one of six values with each of the numbers that could result from the first toss (e.g., 1 from die 1 and 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 from die 2). So, considering there are 6 ways to fill each of two slots, there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes of tossing two dice. Only one of them equals 12, so p(12 given 2 dice tossed) = 1/36 = 0.02777777777778.

Find the probability of each event.
jeka57 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • The coin is fair, hence p = 0.5.
  • The coin is tossed 10 times, hence n = 10.

The probability that is lands tails up at least nine times is given by:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which:

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

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0098

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.001

Hence:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0098 + 0.001 = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

Which relationship is always true for the angles x, y, and z of triangle ABC? A triangle is shown with a leg extending past the
nlexa [21]

Answer:

y+z=x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle</u> states that the measure of exterior angle of a triangle is equals to the sum of measures of its interior opposite angles

In this problem

Angle y and angle z are interior angles of triangle ABC and angle x is a exterior angle of triangle ABC

therefore

Applying the Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle

y+z=x
