Answer:

144 students are expected to be left handed

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximately 12% of the population is left-handed. This is not the exact number of left handed students but it is very close to it. It could be above or below the exact amount, hence the word, approximately was used.

In terms of probability, the probability of a student being left handed is 12/100 = 0.12. The probability of a student being right handed is 1 - 0.12 = 0.88. Therefore,

The expected number of left handed students is the probable number of left handed students and it is

0.12 x total number of students

= 0.12 × 1200 = 144 students

What is the structure of prokaryotic cells?
Dovator [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Prokaryotic Cell

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid.

How do I workout/find the unknown angles please
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: x = 135 degrees and y = 225 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem we first use the equation (n-2)*180 [n being the number of sides] to find the sum of interior angles in the figure. We plug the values in: (8-2)*180 = 6*180 degrees = 1080 degrees. We divide this by 8 to get the measure of an interior angle: 1080 degrees/8 = 135 degrees. Since all the interior angles of a regular polygon are congruent, we can say that angle x + angle y = 360 degrees. Thus subtract x degrees from 360 degrees to get y: 360 degrees - 135 degrees = 225 degrees. Therefore, x = 135 degrees and y = 225 degrees.
