Some of the children at a school arrive by car.

Mathematics

scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  • <u>74%</u>

Explanation:

You can build a two-way relative frequency table to represent the data:

These are the columns and rows:

               Car         No car      Total

Boys

Girl

Total

Fill the table

  • <em>30% of the children at the school are boys</em>

             Car         No car      Total

Boys                                       30%

Girl

Total

  • <em>60% of the boys at the school arrive by car</em>

That is 60% of 30% = 0.6 × 30% = 18%

             Car         No car      Total

Boys      18%                         30%

Girls

Total

By difference you can fill the cell of Boy and No car: 30% - 18% = 12%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl

Total

Also, you know that the grand total is 100%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl

Total                                     100%

By difference you fill the total of Girls: 100% - 30% = 70%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl                                         70%

Total                                     100%

  • <em>80% of the girls at the school arrive by car</em>

That is 80% of  70% = 0.8 × 70% = 56%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl       56%                         70%

Total                                     100%

Now you can finish filling in the whole table calculating the differences:

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl        56%         14%         70%

Total     74%          26%      100%

Having the table completed you can find any relevant probability.

The probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car is the total of the column Car: 74%.

That is because that column represents the percent of boys and girls that that  arrive by car: 18% of the boys, 56% of the girls, and 74% of all the the children.

Find the perimeter of a rhombus whose diagonals are
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Rhombus Side = sqr root [(34 / 2)^2 + (30 / 2)^2]

Rhombus Side = sqr root [17^2 + 15^2]

Rhombus Side = sqr root [289 + 225}

Rhombus Side = sqr root [514]

Rhombus Side = 22.6715680975

Rhombus Perimeter = side * 4 = 90.68627239  cm

If the maximum value of y=-3x² + mx + 10 is 37, find the values of m.​
uysha [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x² + mx + 10

dy/dx = -6x + m.

When dy/dx = 0, -6x + m = 0. => x = m/6.

We have y = -3(m/6)² + m(m/6) + 10 = 37.

=> -m²/12 + m²/6 = 27

=> -m² + 2m² = 324

=> m² = 324

=> m = 18 or m = -18.
