Because the ratio of women to children is 10:1, double the ratio of men to women so the women are both 10:

Men to women becomes 8:10

Now total the 3 ratios: 8 for men, 10, for women and 9 for children:

8 + 10 + 9 = 27

Divide total people by that number:

270/27 = 10

Multiply 10 by each ratio:

Men = 8 * 10 = 80

Women = 10 * 10 = 100

Children = 9 *10 = 90



There is 80 men.

Answer:

There are 80 men on the train.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I just completed this question on MathsWatch so here is my explanation

Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is work out the ratio of men to women to children  on the train which is

8:10:9

Step 2:

8+10+9= 27

270÷27=10

Step 3:

We now know that 1 in the ratio is equal to 10 people.

To work out the amount of men we need to multiply 10 by 8

10×8=80

These means there is 80 men on the train

The television show CSI: Shoboygan has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 18, meaning that among
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b) The value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c) The value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d) The event is not unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of households watching the show.

The probability of the random variable <em>x</em> is, P (X) = <em>p</em> = 0.18.

The sample selected for the survey is of size, <em>n</em> = 14

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 14 and <em>p</em> = 0.18.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is computed using the formula:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,...

(a)

Compute the probability that none of the households are tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P(X=0)={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}=1\times1\times0.06214=0.062

Thus, the value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

             =1-0.062\\=0.938

Thus, the value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c)

Compute the probability that at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≤ 1) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)

             ={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}+{14\choose 1}(0.18)^{1}(1-0.18)^{14-1}\\=0.062+0.191\\=0.253

Thus, the value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d)

An event that has a very low probability of occurrence is known as an unusual event.

The probability of the event "at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan" is 0.253.

This probability value is not low.

Hence, the event is not unusual.

An assembly line worker at rob bicycle factory adds a seat to a bicycle at a rate of 2 seats every 12 minutes write and solve a
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

6N = T

They will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the factory, the workers add bicycle seats at a rate of 2 seats every 12 minutes.

If the number of seats they add is N and the number of minutes it takes is T, then they are proportional i.e. N ∝ T.

⇒ N = kT ........... (1)

Now, N = 2 for T = 12 minutes.

So, from equation (1), 2 = 12k

⇒ k = \frac{1}{6}

Therefore, the equation (1) becomes N = \frac{1}{6}T

⇒ 6N = T ......... (2)

Now, for N = 16, from equation (2) we get,

T = 16 × 6 = 96 minutes.

Therefore, they will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats. (Answer)
