Some of the children at a school arrive by car.

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.

Suppose Y varies directly with X, and Y = 15 and X = 5. Write a direct variation equation that relates X and Y. What is the valu
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the other variable.

Given that Y varies directly with X, and Y = 15 and X = 5, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes

15 = 5k

k = 15/5

k = 3

The equation would be

Y = 3X

Therefore, when X = 9, the value of Y would be

Y = 3 × 9

Y = 27
