Answer:

The statement is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.

We cannot give more than what we have.

lets understand it mathematically.

suppose i have x stamp.

according to question, i have to give 130% of my stamp collection

130% of x = 130/100 x = 1.3x

so, i have to given 1.3x stamp while i do have only x stamp which does not make any sense.

maximum i can give is x stamp.

x stamp in percentage of my total stamp collection which is also x will be

= x/x*100 = 100%

Thus, maximum one can give is 100% of what he has.

Thus, we can say that Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection is not reasonable.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume that a randomly selected registered voter, x is classified as a conservative or not. It means that there are only 2 possible outcomes. Thus, it is a binomial probability distribution and the probability of success, p is that a randomly selected voter is classified as a conservative. Therefore,

p = 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

Number of trials, n = 10

Number of success, x = 6

The probability that six out of 10 would be conservatives is expressed as

P(x = 6)

Using the binomial probability calculator,

P(x = 6) = 0.0056

Blueberry high-fiber muffins contain 51 % dietary fiber by mass. If a package with a net weight of 18 oz contains six muffins, h

Answer:

In each muffin there are 1.53oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to get the weight of just one muffin. If the package contains six muffins we must divide the total weight by six.

$weight_{unit}=\frac{18oz}{6}=3oz$

The weight of just one muffin is 3oz.

Now, the problem says that blueberry high-fiber muffins contain 51 % dietary fiber by mass, which means that we must calculate the 51% of 3oz. We must take into account that 51% equals 51/100 which is 0.51. The equation would be:

$fiber=(3oz)(0.51)=1.53oz$
