Twenty-seven minus 3/2of a number (x) is not more than 36.

27 - (3/2)X = 36

What is the number?

(3/2)X = 27 - 36 = - 9

X = (- 9x2)/3 = -18/3 = -6

Check

36 = 27 - (3/2)X = 27 - (3/2)x(-6) = 27 - (-18/2) = 27 - (-9) = 36

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. The highest speed measured was 72.6 Mbp

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. 54.05 Mpbs.

b. 2.745... standard deviations.

c. The z-score is 2.745....

d. The carrier's highest data speed is significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The difference between the highest measured data speed and the mean is 72.6 - 18.55 = 54.05 Mbps.

b. The amount of standard deviations of 54.05 Mbps is equal to this value divided by the standard deviations, so we yield $\frac{54.05}{19.69} = 2.745...$ standard deviations.

c. The z-score is equal to the difference between the mean and a data point in standard deviations, so the z-score is 2.745....

d. 2.745... is not between -2 and 2, so the carrier's highest data speed is not insignificant - so it's significantly high.

How do i solve divide 5/8 by 50%

Ede4ka [16]

50% is $\frac{50}{100}$
We have two ways to do this, pick your favor:
either by fractions:
$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{2}$
( $\frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2}$
Multiply by the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ which is 2(flip it)

$\frac{5}{8}$ × 2 = $\frac{5}{4}$ = 1.25

Or change them to decimals:
$\frac{5}{8} = 0.625$
$\frac{50}{100}$ = 0.5

0.625 ÷ 0.5

0.5 I 0.625
multiply by 10 to make it easier to divide(it still gives us the same answer)
0.5 × 10 = 5
0.625 × 10 = 6.25
1.25
5 I 6.25
-5
12
-10

0.625 ÷ 0.5 = 1.25
