6. QRST is a parallelogram. Find y. A. 15 B. 14 C. 13 D. 12

Oliver interviewed 30% of the 9th grade class and 70% of the 10th grade class at his school. Jenny interviewed 75% of the 9th gr

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

A. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a total of 176 interviewed by Oliver and a total of 140 interviewed by Jenny. To find how many more 10th graders than 9th graders were interviewed, subtract the totals given

176 - 140 = 36

This is how we came to the answer:

We are given 70% of the 10th-grade and 30% of the 9th-grade with a total of 176 for Oliver.

While we're given 75% of the 9th-grade class and 25% of the 10th-grade with a total of 140 interviewed by Jenny

Oliver's Interviewees

10-graders

Firstly, let's find what the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Oliver; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

70% of 176 =

Cross multiply

123.2 were 10-graders interviewed by Oliver

9th-graders

Now, to find the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Oliver; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

30% of 176 =

Cross multiply

52.8 were 9th-graders interviewed by Oliver

Jenny's Interviewees

9th-graders

Firstly, let's find what the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Jenney; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

75% of 140 =

Cross multiply

105 students were 9th-graders interviewed by Jenney.

10th-graders

Now, to find the number of 10th-graders was interviewed by Jenney; find the percentage of the 10th-graders by the total;

25% of 140 =

Cross multiply

35 students were 10th-graders interviewed by Jenney.

Total calculation

Use the results and sum them up by 9th-grade plus 9th-grade and 10th-grade plus 10-grade. Then subtract the amount gotten from 9th-grade away from the amount gotten from 10th-grade;

Oliver's 9th-grade = 52.8

Jenny's 9th-grade = 105

105 + 52.8 = 157.8

Oliver's 10th-grade = 123.2

Jenny's 10th-grade = 35

123.2 + 35 = 158.2

Total calculation: 158. 2 - 157.8 = 0.4

Therefore, there are 36 more 10th than 9th.

(10 points)Assume IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15. Suppose a president, vice

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the binomial and the normal probability distributions.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Probability the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5

IQs of adults in a certain country are normally distributed with mean 100 and SD 15, which means that $\mu = 100, \sigma = 15$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 107.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{107.5 - 100}{15}$

$Z = 0.5$

$Z = 0.5$ has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

Probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

First, we find the probability of a single person having an IQ of at least 130, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 130. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{130 - 100}{15}$

$Z = 2$

$Z = 2$ has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

Now, we find the probability of at least one person, from a set of 2, having an IQ of at least 130, which is found using the binomial distribution, with p = 0.0228 and n = 2, and we want:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.9772)^{2}.(0.0228)^{0} = 0.9549$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.0451$

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

What is the probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130?

0.3085 probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5.

0.0451 probability that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

Independent events, so we multiply the probabilities.

0.3082*0.0451 = 0.0139

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that the president will have an IQ of at least 107.5 and that at least one of the other two leaders (vice president and/or secretary of state) will have an IQ of at least 130.

a set if cards includes 20 yellow cards, 16 green cards, and 24 blue cards. what is the probability that a blue card is chosen a

devlian [24]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance that a certain event occurs out of the total events.

Here, the event of "choosing a blue card". The total events are just "choosing any card".

There are 24 blue cards and 24 + 20 + 16 = 60 cards in total. So, we just take 24 and divide it by 60: $\frac{24}{60}$ . Simplifying, we get:

$\frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}$

Thus, the answer is 2/5.

Hope this helps!
