Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

A computer training institute has 625 students that are paying a course fee of $400. Their research shows that for every $20 red
Anastasy [175]
1.
If no changes are made, the school has a revenue of :

625*400$/student=250,000$

2.
Assume that the school decides to reduce n*20$.

This means that there will be an increase of 50n students.

Thus there are 625 + 50n students, each paying 400-20n dollars.

The revenue is: 

(625 + 50n)*(400-20n)=12.5(50+n)*20(20-n)=250(n+50)(20-n)

3.

check the options that we have, 

a fee of $380 means that n=1, thus 

250(n+50)(20-n)=250(1+50)(20-1)=242,250   ($)


a fee of $320 means that n=4, thus

 250(n+50)(20-n)=250(4+50)(20-4)=216,000    ($)


the other options cannot be considered since neither 400-275, nor 400-325 are multiples of 20.

Conclusion, neither of the possible choices should be applied, since they will reduce the revenue.

Adult panda weights are normally distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. The largest pandas
earnstyle [38]
\mathbb P(X>250)=1-\mathbb P(X\le250)

\mathbb P(X\le250)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-200}{20}\le\dfrac{250-200}{20}\right)=\mathbb P(Z\le2.5)\approx0.9938

which means

\mathbb P(X>250)\approx1-0.9938=0.0062

so approximately 0.62% of pandas weight over 250 pounds.
