in a class of 20 students, 40% are boys. 25% of the boys and 50% of the girls wear glasses. How man students wear glasses?

1 answer:

7 0

20 students.

40% are boys. (40/100)*20 = 0.4 * 20 = 8 boys.
Girls= 20 - 8 = 12 girls.

25% of the boys wear glasses. = (25/100)*8 = 0.25*8 = 2 boys wear glasses.
50% of the girls wear glasses. = (50/100)*12 = 0.50*12 = 6 girls wear glasses.

Total students that wear glasses = 2 + 6 = 8 students.
8 students wear glasses.

Draw a number line that shows two equivalent fractions.label your number line and explain how you know the fractions are equival

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

It is required to draw a number line showing equivalent fractions.

'Equivalent fractions' are the fractions having same value even though the digits involved are different'.

For example: Consider, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ .

Now, we have,

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5

$\frac{2}{4}$ = 0.5

Thus, the both fractions have the same value, even though we are dividing different digits.

Thus, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ are called equivalent fractions.

So, we plot them on the number line, resulting in the following figure with point P = 0.5.

lord [1]

Answer:

The probability density function for the average length of life of the two components is $f(x) = 0.5e^{-0.5x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following probability density:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

Each missile has a length of life governed by the exponential distribution with mean 1 (with measurements in hundreds of hours). Find the probability density function for the average length of life of the two components.

2, each with mean 1 means that $m = 2*1 = 2, \mu = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

So the probability density function is:

$f(x) = 0.5e^{-0.5x}$
