Beatrix ate 21 raisins. This represents 30% of the box of raisins. How many raisins were originally in the box?

Fwam surveyed 540 of the students in his school about their favorite color. students could choose between red and blue. 55% said

Digiron [165]

Answer:

243 students' favorite color is red

Step-by-step explanation:

if 55% of the students said their favorite color was blue, then 45% chose that red was their favorite color

we can get 45% of 540 using a cross-multiplication equation

45% is 45/100

45/100 is to ?/540

the (?) represents the value of students who chose red as their favorite color (we do not know this but we can figure it out using cross-multiplication)

45 times 540 is 24300

24300/100 = 243.

Give brainliest, please!

hope this helps :)

PLEASE HELP! The table shows the number of championships won by the baseball and softball leagues of three youth baseball divisi

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Question 1: $P ( B | Y ) = \frac{ P ( B and Y)}{ P (Y)} = \frac{ \frac{2}{16}}{ \frac{4}{16}} = \frac{1}{2}$

Question 2:

A. $P ( Y | B ) = \frac{ P(Y and B) }{ P(B) } = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{3}$

B. $P( Z | B ) = \frac{ P ( Z and B)}{ P (B)}= \frac{ \frac{1}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{6}$

C. $P((Y or Z)|B) = \frac{ P ((Y or Z) and B)}{P(B)}= \frac{ \frac{3}{16}}{ \frac{6}{16}}= \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability is defined by

$P(A|B)= \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}$

with P(A and B) beeing the probability of both events occurring simultaneously.

Question 1:

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

then

P( B and Y)= \frac{ 2 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P ( B | Y ) = \frac{ P ( B and Y)}{ P (Y)} = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{4}{16} } = \frac{1}{2}$

Question 2.A:

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

then

P( B and Y)= \frac{ 2 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P ( Y | B ) = \frac{ P(Y and B) }{ P(B) } = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{3}$

Question 2.B:

Z: Championships won by the 13 - 15 years old, beeing

$P ( Z)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

then

P( Z and B)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P( Z | B ) = \frac{ P ( Z and B)}{ P (B)}= \frac{ \frac{1}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{6}$

Question 3.B

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

Z: Championships won by the 13 - 15 years old, beeing

$P ( Z)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }$

then

$P (Y or Z) = P(Y) + P(Z) = \frac{6}{16}$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

so

$P((YorZ) and B)= \frac{3}{16}$

By definition,

$P((Y or Z)|B) = \frac{ P ((Y or Z) and B)}{P(B)}= \frac{ \frac{3}{16}}{ \frac{6}{16}}= \frac{1}{2}$

candy bars are sold at a local store for 60 cents each. The factory has $1000 in fixed costs plus 10 cents of additional expense

Westkost [7]

Answer:

2000 bars, or $1200

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of candy bars that are sold. Since they are sold for $0.60 each, this gives us the expression

0.60x

to represent the profit.

The factor has $0.10 per candy bar additional expense; this gives us the expression

0.10x.

However the factory also has $1000 fixed costs; this gives us

0.10x + 1000

to represent the costs.

The break-even point is the point where these two expressions are equal; this gives us the equation

0.60x = 0.10x + 1000

Subtract 0.10x from each side:

0.60x - 0.10x = 0.10x + 1000 - 0.10x

0.50x = 1000

Divide both sides by 0.50:

0.50x/0.50 = 1000/0.50

x = 2000

The break-even point is 2000 candy bars, which would sell for

0.60(2000) = $1200

How many times larger is 8 x 106 than 2 x 103?<br> Х

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: ~4.12 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find the values for both equation, (8*106=848) and (2*103=206).

2. divide the larger number by the smaller one. 848/206

which gives us 4.11650485, or <u>4.12</u> rounded.
