Your answer: Option A
Sarah answered 24 questions on her test correctly and earned an 80%. How many questions were on the test?
1 answer:
Answer:
43 questions in total
Step-by-step explanation:
the original equation with the unknown (total number of questions on the test) will look like this
we know this because to work out a percentage in the 1st place you need the total ÷ number (in this case it's ÷ how many questions out of the total she did answer)
now you rearrange.
you need to move the 24 to get the total on it's own here's how you do it
what you do to one side of equation you have to do to the other. the 24 and 24 on the left will cancel because 24÷24=1 and we don't write
got mum of Q's x 1= 80 x 24
now you convert % to decimal
replace
now you take the original and + the 19
therefore there are a total of 43 questions on the exam

Answer and explanation:
Given : Strands Copper wire from a manufacturer are analyzed forstrenghth and conductivity. The Results from 100 strands are as follows :
Strength Strength
High Low
High conductivity 74 8
Low conductivity 15 3
To find :
a) If a stand is randomly selected, the probability that is conductivity is high and its strength is high
The favorable outcome is 74
The probability is given by,
b) If a stand is randomly selected, the probability that its conductivity is low or strength is low
Conductivity is low A= 15+3=18
Strength is low B= 8+3=11
Conductivity is low and strength is low
Probability is given by,
c) Consider the event that a strand low conductivity and the event that the strand has a low strength. Are these tow events mutually exclusive?
Since the events the stand has low conductivity and the stand has low strength are not mutually exclusive, since there exists some cases in which both the events coincide. i.e. Intersection of both the events exists with probability 0.03.
