Answer:

Counselor's estimate isn't correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in university = 30,600

2% break 3 of the languages

Therefore, 2/100 × 30600 = 612 students break 3 of the languages in the University according to the counselor.

In a random sample of 240 students, 20 break 3 of the languages.

% = 20/240 × 100 = 8.33%

SinceTotal number of students = 30,600

Therefore, 30,600/240 = 127.5

Which means 127.5 × 20 = 2550.

Which means 2550 students break 3 of the languages as against the 612 students stated by the counselor.

Anna [14]

Answer:

$6000

Step-by-step explanation:

so basically, 25% of the 100% value is gone, right? which means that 75% of the value would remain. After that, all is easy. 8000*0.75, since 75% is 0.75, and the answer of that is 6000, so the current value is 6000 dollars.

A magazine subscription costs $29.88 for 12 issues or $15.24 for 6 issues. Which subscription costs more per issue? How much mor
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The magazine that cost $15.24 for 6 issues cost more by $0.60/60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $15.24 is 6 issues each and you need to even out the issues add $15.24+$15.24 then you would get $30.48, because its 15.24 each 6 add them both and it would be 12 issues. And the first issue $29.88 for 12 issues is  only $29.88 while the other is $30.48 so the one with 6 issues/the second cost more than the first.

60 cents more because 29.88+60=30.48.

What is the actual slope of this line?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

  -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...

  m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.

The slope is -4.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
