What number is 15% of 80? use percent proportions

1 answer:

8 0

!5% is equivalent to 15 parts over the whole 100 part. It is written in proportions as 15/100.

Similarly, you need to find how many parts in 80 are equivalent to 15%or 15/100. So, just equate both equation with x as an unknown.

x/80 = 15/100
x = (15/100)*80
x = 12

Thus, the 15% of 80 is 12.

After a college football team once again lost a game to their archrival, the alumni association conducted a survey to see if alu

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

P-value for this hypothesis test is 0.00175.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the alumni association conducted a survey to see if alumni were in favor of firing the coach.

A simple random sample of 100 alumni from the population of all living alumni was taken. Sixty-four of the alumni in the sample were in favor of firing the coach.

Let p = proportion of all living alumni who favored firing the coach

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 0.50 {means that the majority of alumni are not in favor of firing the coach}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p > 0.50 {means that the majority of alumni are in favor of firing the coach}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of the alumni in the sample who were in favor of firing the coach = $\frac{64}{100}$ = 0.64

n = sample of alumni = 100

So, test statistics = $\frac{0.64-0.50}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100} } } } }$

= 2.92

Now, P-value of the hypothesis test is given by ;

P-value = P(Z > 2.92) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 2.92)

= 1 - 0.99825 = 0.00175

Therefore, the P-value for this hypothesis test is 0.00175.

Two pounds of cashews cost $19, and 8 pounds cost $76.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Yes there is a proportinal relationship because when I did 19 divided by 2 I got 9.5 and when I do 76 divided by 8 I got 9.5 so its proportinal. Yes I can find how much money 6 pounds is its 57. And yes I can do it without a table because all you have to do is divide the 19 and 2 and the other 2 numbers and if there the same then its proportinal.

An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term, the first with 20 students and the second with 30, de

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

(a) $P(X=10) = 0.2070$

(b) $P(X\geq 10) = 0.3798$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in this problem we have an initial population N = 50, of which 30 fulfill a certain characteristic "m" (belong to the second section). Then, from the population N, a sample of size n = 15 is selected and it is desired to know how many comply with the desired characteristic (second section).

Let X be the number of projects in the second section, then X is a discrete random variable that can be modeled by a hypergeometric distribution.

(a)

Therefore, to answer question (a) we use the following equation presented in the attached image:

Where:

$N = 50\\m = 30\\n = 15\\X = 10$
