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.

PLEASE HELP!!<br><br> which graph represents the function f(x) = -|x| - 2
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The graph on the far right

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative in front of the absolute value indicates that the parent function |x| has been reflected over the x-axis and points downwards. The negative 2 being added to this portion shows that there has been a vertical shift of two units downwards as well. Therefore, the graph on the far right is the correct graph.

the sum of the interior angle in a polygon is 40,500° what is the number of sides in the regular polygon
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

227 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon is S=180(n-2) where n is the number of sides. If S=40500, then we have our equation 40500=180(n-2) and we can solve for n:

40500 = 180(n-2)

225 = n-2

227 = n

Therefore, the number of sides in the regular polygon is 227.
