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

Find the value of n, if 25.003 = (2x 10) + (5x1)+(3xn)​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

n=0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

(2\times10)+(5\times1)+(3\times n)=25.003\\\\\implies 20 + 5 + 3n = 25.003\\\\\implies 3n+25=25.003\\\\\implies 3n+25-25=25.003-25\\\\\implies 3n = 0.003\\\\\implies n=0.001

What two-dimensional figure will result from slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base?
andreev551 [17]

Answer: The answer is D. Trapezoid.    


Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, a rectangular pyramid  ABCDE is drawn. We are slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base BCDE at the points F, G, H and I.

We can clearly see from the figure that upper half of the sliced figure will be similar to the pyramid BCDE and the lower sliced figure will be a trapezoid. These are the three-dimensional figures.

Also, the sliced two-dimensional figure FGHI will be a rectangle, because

the pyramid is a rectangular one and so,  FI=GH, FG=HI and all the angles are right angles.

Thus, the resulting two-dimensional figure will be a rectagle.

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage, you simply need to divide the number on top by the number on bottom and multiply by 100:

5 ÷ 8 = 0.625

0.625 x 100 = 62.5

So the percentage is 62.5%!
