I fear that there is an error copying your assignment.  
65% of the students walked.  Are all of the other students on buses?  Are there both public buses AND private buses?
Assuming that you need to know BOTH kinds of buses, try this:

65% of the students walked, so since 100% - 65% = 35% then this means that 35% of the students were on buses.
Since we know that there are 360 more walkers than bus riders, then one equation we know is:  65% of S = 360 + 35% of S  (let S = total # of students)
              .65 S     = 360 + .35 S
           <u> - .35 S   </u>  =     <u>   - .35 S</u>      Subtract .35 S from both sides
             <u> .30  S   </u> = <u> 360</u>                 Divide both sides by .30 (or .3)
                .30           .30
                      S   =  1,200  so we know that this is the total number of students, but that is not what was asked.  
They want to know how many are on buses and specifically how many are on public buses, if I read this correctly.
   Since the walkers = 65% of 1,2000 and we know of means TIMES, then
                                  .65 (1,200) =  780 walkers
 1,200 total students minus 780 walkers = 420 bus riders

Now, if there is not a misprint and we really have to figure out the public bus riders as compared to the private bus riders, then remember the ratio from above in the question:   4 bus: 3 public buses
Now if I read this right, that means that 3/4ths of the bus riders were on public buses
so 3/4 of 420 means 3/4 times 420  = 3 times 105 = 315 public bus riders (which coincidentally leaves 105 private bus riders, but since they are private we don't know much about them.  Ha-Ha..... I made a lame joke.)

So your answer is 315 public bus riders

Charlie has $3.15 in his bank which contains only nickels and dimes. There are 9 more nickels than dimes. Find the number he has
Brrunno [24]

Charlie has $3.15 in his bank which contains only nickels and dimes. There are 9 more nickels than dimes. Then Number of dimes =18

and Number of nickels =27

<h3>What is basic algebra ?</h3>

Mathematical expressions can be used to depict situations or issues, and algebra is the field of mathematics that does this. For a mathematical expression to have meaning, it needs to include variables like x, y, and z as well as mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Algebra is used in every area of mathematics, including coordinate geometry, calculus, and trigonometry. A straightforward algebraic expression is 2x + 4 = 8.

Given that : Charlie has $3.15 in his bank which contains only nickels and dimes. There are 9 more nickels than dimes

Let d be the number of dimes

d + 9 = Number of nickels

A dime = 0.1

nickle is = 0.05

0.1d + 0.05d + 0.45 = 3.15

0.15d = 2.7

d = 18

Number of dimes =18

Number of nickels = 18 + 9

=27

Use a truth table to verify the first De Morgan law (p ∧ q)’ ≡ p’ ∨ q’.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(p ∧ q)’ ≡ p’ ∨ q’

Step-by-step explanation:

First, p and q have just four (4) possibilities, p∧q is true (t) when p and q are both t.

p ∧    q

t t t

t f f

f f t

f f f

next step is getting the opposite

(p∧q)'

    <em>f</em>

<em>     t</em>

<em>     t</em>

<em>     t</em>

Then we get p' V q', V is true (t) when the first or the second is true.

p' V  q'

f  <em>f</em>  f

f  <em>t</em>  t

t  <em>t</em>  f

t  <em>t</em>  t

Let's compare them, ≡ is true if the first is equal to the second one.

(p∧q)'   ≡     (p' V q')

    <em>f              f </em>

<em>     t              t</em>

<em>     t              t</em>

<em>     t              t</em>

Both are true, so

(p ∧ q)’ ≡ p’ ∨ q’

The null hypothesis claims that the proportion of community college students who work full-time is 0. 45. The alternative hypoth
diamong [38]

The stronger the evidence is against the null hypothesis, the higher the divergence from it.

What do you mean by null hypothesis ?

A statistical hypothesis known as a null hypothesis asserts that no statistical significance can be found in a collection of provided observations. Using sample data, hypothesis testing is performed to judge a theory' veracity. It is sometimes referred to as just "the null," and its symbol is H_{0}. To determine if a theory regarding markets, investing methods, or economies is correct or wrong, quantitative analysts employ the null hypothesis,

The null hypothesis states that the percentage of the population who works full time is 0.45.

As a result, 450 persons who are randomly selected from a population of 1000 work full-time.

A different hypothesis states that the ratio is higher than 0.45.

In the options provided, the proportion for the first option is 300/1000, or 0.3.

In the second choice, 500/1000 equals 0.5

Third alternative: 700/1000 = 0.7

Therefore, the stronger the evidence is against the null hypothesis, the higher the divergence from it.
