50 is 40% of what number??????

So a hack is we know that 20% times 5 =100% and 40 divided by 2=20 so

50=40%
divide both sides by 2
25=20%

20 times 5=100 so
multiply both sides by 5
125=100%

All you have to do is times 100 by 50 and then divide the product: 5000 by 40 which equals 125.

how I solved it (solved for X) below:

40/100 = 50/x --> 50*100 = 40x --> 5000 = 40x --> 5000/40 = x --> 125 = x

KEY: / means divide * means times = means equals --> means "next step"

It is called cross multiplication

Suppose that 2 ≤ f '(x) ≤ 3 for all values of x. what are the minimum and maximum possible values of f(5) − f(1)?

zzz [600]

Assuming $f$ is differentiable over the interval (1, 5), by the mean value theorem we know that there is some $1$ such that

$f'(c)=\dfrac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}$

We're given that $2\le f'(x)\le3$ for all $x$ , so

$2\le\dfrac{f(5)-f(1)}4\le3\implies8\le f(5)-f(1)\le12$

that is, the minimum possible value is 8, and the maximum possible value is 12.

Let x and y be independent each uniformly distributed on {1,2,...,n} find p(x < y )

bulgar [2K]

If we draw the contingency table of x (vertical) against y (horiz.), we have a square.
For n=4, we have (legend: < : x<y = : x=y > : x>y

y 1 2 3 4
x
1 = < < <
2 > = < <
3 > > = <
4 > > > =

We see that there are n(n-1)/2 cases of x<y out of n^2.
Therefore,
p(x<y)=n(n-1)/(2n^2)=(n-1)/(2n)

However, if the sample space is continuous, it will be simply p(x<y)=1/2.
