The percent increase is 6% because it increased by 6 and 6 is 6% of 100.
Hope this helps!

we know that

the number $100$ (original quantity) represent the $100\%$

the number $106$ (new quantity) represent the $x\%$

Step $1$

by proportion find the value of x%

$\frac{100}{100\%} =\frac{106}{x\%}\\\\x*100=100*106\\ \\x=106\%$

Step $2$

Find the increase percentage

$increase\ percentage=106\%-100\%=6\%$

therefore

the answer is

The percent increase is $6\%$

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering

Alla [95]

Answer:

a) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To approximate this distribution we have to calculate the mean and the standard distribution.

The mean is the proportion p=0.85.

The standard deviation can be calculates as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{100} }=0.04$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 100-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.04} =-1.75$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) In this case, the number of questions is 250, so the standard deviation needs to be calculated again:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{250} }=0.02$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 250-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.02} =-3.5$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

HELP PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS ASAP WITH STEP BY STEP JUST PLEASE HELPPP

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

1) 16

2a) 100 -a -2b

2bi) (100 -a -2b)/4

2bii) 11

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Put the numbers where the corresponding variables are and do the arithmetic.

(2(1) +3(-2))^2 = (2 -6)^2 = (-4)^2 = 16

2. The pieces cut from the wire have the lengths a, b, b. The sum of those lengths is a+b+b = a+2b.

2a. The remaining length is what is left when the total of cut pieces is subtracted from the original amount:

100 -(a+2b) = 100 -a -2b

2bi. The perimeter of the square is the amount in part (2a). A square has 4 sides of the same length, so each side has a length that is 1/4 of the perimeter. The side length is ...

(100 -a -2b)/4 . . . . length of one side of the square

2bii. Fill in the given values for "a" and "b" and do the arithmetic.

(100 -24 -2(16))/4 = (76 -32)/4 = 44/4 = 11 . . . one side of the square
