What fraction of 20 is 18?

Remark

You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.

One way you could write it would be

20 * x = 18 where x is  the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.

Divide both sides by 20

20/20 * x = 18/20

\text{x = } \dfrac{18}{20}

But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.

18: 2 * 3 * 3

20: 2 * 2 *5

Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.

You are left with

\text{x = } \dfrac{18}{20} =\dfrac{2*3*3}{2*2*5}=\dfrac{3*3}{2*5} = \dfrac{9}{10} <<<< Answer

★ What fraction of 20 is 18?

In questions like these, when you see the word "of", it is usually used for the denominator. In your question, it says "of 20". That means the denominator will be 20.

Here is your current fraction:

\frac{x}{20}

After that phrase, it says "is 18". The word "of" is used for the numerator. That means the numerator is 18.

Here is your fraction:

\frac{18}{20}

You have your complete fraction, but it can be simplified. Both numbers are even(numbers that end with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0) and every even number is divisible by 2. You can just divide both numbers by 2.

\frac{18 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \frac{9}{10}

You have your simplified fraction, which is \frac{9}{10}, and it cannot be simplified any further.

Your answer is \frac{18}{20} which becomes \frac{9}{10} when simplified.

Answer:

1 = 115°

2 = 115°

3 = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

P=65, so S (3) =65

360-65-65=230

230/2=115

Q (1) = 115

R (2) = 115

A is 60% of B , B is 30% of C, what percentage of C is A
zaharov [31]
A is 30% more than B. So, A = B + 30% of B = B + 30/100 *B = B + 3/10 *B = 13/10 *B. B is 60% less than C. So, B = C - 60% of C = C - 60/100 *C = C - 3/5 *C = 2/5 *C.

It is estimated that 75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

a) 75

b) 4.33

c) 0.75

d) 3.2 \times 10^{-13} probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline

e) 6.2 \times 10^{-61} probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

f) Binomial, with n = 100, p = 0.75

g) 4.5 \times 10^{-8} probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they do not own a landline, or they do. The probability of an young adult not having a landline is independent of any other adult, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.

This means that p = 0.75

(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?

Sample of 100, so n = 100

E(X) = np = 100(0.75) = 75

(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.75)(0.25)} = 4.33

(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?

The estimation, of 75% = 0.75.

(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 100), that is, all do not own. So

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

P(X = 100) = C_{100,100}.(0.75)^{100}.(0.25)^{0} = 3.2 \times 10^{-13}

3.2 \times 10^{-13} probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 0), that is, all own. So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{100} = 6.2 \times 10^{-61}

6.2 \times 10^{-61} probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?

Binomial, with n = 100, p = 0.75

(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?

This is P(X = 50). So

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

P(X = 50) = C_{100,50}.(0.75)^{50}.(0.25)^{50} = 4.5 \times 10^{-8}

4.5 \times 10^{-8} probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.
