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.

I'm not sure if you meant to put a minus sign at the end, or you just meant to put an equal sign?

Line up the numbers with the largest number on top. Then subtract from the number above it by the number below it. Whenever you need to, you can borrow from the next place value. Ask any questions you need to.

Write and solve an equation for the total number of possible combinations from flipping a coin 10 times.
vladimir2022 [97]

Step-by-step explanation:

every flip has 2 possible outcomes.

1 flip has 2.

2 flips have 2×2 = 2² = 4

3 flips have 2×2×2 = 2³ = 8

and so on.

the number of possible combinations flipping a coin n times is

C(n) = 2^n

for 10 flips

C(10) = 2¹⁰ = 1024

possible outcomes or combinations.
