Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.

so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)

In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.

To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x

24=x

So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.

Answer:

Mean is 3.05

Standard deviation is 1.69.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are foreign, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The probability of x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

In this problem, we have a sample of 50 students, so $n = 50$ . The proportion of all UNC students that are foreign students is 0.061, so $p = 0.061$ .
