Compound percentage reduction can be calculated by multiplying the initial number by (1-x)^t where x is the percentage reduction (/100, i.e. 1% reduction is 0.01), and t is the number of times it has reduced.

So:
a) p=45(1-0.06)^t=45*0.94^t
Where t is the number of weeks.

We can then just substitute in to work out the final pressure:
b) p = 45*0.94^6 = 31psi

Change first equation
x - 2y = 1
add 2y to both side
x = 2y + 1
Plug into second equation
3(2y+1) - 6y = 3
Distributive property
6y + 3 - 6y = 3
y = 0, plug into first equation
x - 2(0) = 1, x = 1
Solution: x = 1, y = 0

Find the probability. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if needed.
padilas [110]

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students = 20

Number of students who have brown hair = 12

Number of students who have blonde hair = 4

Number of students who have red hair = 3

Number of students who have black hair = 1

To find:

Probability of randomly selecting a blonde-haired student from the classroom.

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurring of some event.

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

Number of favourable outcomes ( Number of students who have blonde hair ) = 4

Total number of outcomes = 20

So,

Probability of randomly selecting a blonde haired student from the classroom = \frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2
