Answer:

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                            3

Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as  --------

                                                             5

Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.  

How many are in the club altogether?  Let this count be represented by c.  Then (5/8)c = 60.

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:

c = (8/5)(60) = 96.  Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.

3/8 of this number are boys.  This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.

We could also solve this problem in the following manner:

 3          b

------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.

  5        60

Then 5b = 180.  Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys

The ability to find a job after graduation is very important to GSU students as it is to the students at most colleges and unive
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

(0.806, 0.839)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Suppose we take a poll (random sample) of 3653 students classified as Juniors and find that 3005 of them believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation.

This means that n = 3653, \pi = \frac{3005}{3653} = 0.823

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.823 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.823*0.177}{3653}} = 0.806

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.823 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.823*0.177}{3653}} = 0.839

The answer is (0.806, 0.839)

Determine if the side lengths could form a triangle. Use an inequality to prove your answer.
podryga [215]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) no

  b) yes

  c) maybe (no)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two versions of the triangle inequality. One requires ...

  a + b > c

for any triple of side measures a, b, c.

The other allows ...

  a + b ≥ c

which admits "triangles" that have zero height and look like line segments.

Most questions asking "do these lengths form a triangle" are concerned with the "greater than" case, and disallow the "or equal to" case.

__

a)

  16+21=37\ngtr39\qquad\text{not a triangle}

b)

  27+34=61>58\qquad\text{could be a triangle}

c)

  9+29=38\ge38\qquad\text{could be a triangle if "equal to" is allowed}
