Given:
The race percent of population is
White:      45%
Hispanic: 27%
Black:       18%
Asian:        7%
Other:        3%

Part a.
The university has 2,815 Hispanic out of the 20,250 total population.
This is equivalent to (2815/20250)*100 = 13.9%
This percentage is less than 27%, so Hispanics do not have proportional representation.

Answer: The Hispanic students do not have proportional representation.

Part b.
Let x =  the extra number of Hispanic students needed for proportional representation of 27% or 0.27.
Then
(2815 + x)/20250 = 0.27
2815 + x = 20250*0.27 = 5467.5
x = 5467.5 - 2815 = 2652.5

This means that 2,653 extra Hispanic students are required for a population of 20,250 students.

Answer: 2,653 extra Hispanic students.

-3=5
false

no solution
(we can see that since slopes are same and y intercepts are differnt, the lines are paralell and therfor never intersect)

Which is the more reasonable measurement of the distance between the tracks on a railroad: 1.435 ⋅ 10−3 mm or 1.435 ⋅ 103 mm? Ju
SVEN [57.7K]
The best answer is 1.435 ·103 because while they both are really small for a rail road track that one is bigger. the final answer for that is 147.805mm.

Why don’t Noble Gases have a value for electronegativity?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nobel gases have full shell of valence electrons, that is why they tend to not enter any chemical reactions because they are satisfied while metals have very few electrons in the valence shell, so they are active in any chemical reaction.
