B.



Let's simply look at each conjecture and determine if it's true or false.



A. 2n– 1 is odd if n is positive: Since n is an integer, 2n will always be even. And an even number minus 1 is always odd. Doesn't matter if n is positive or not. So this conjecture is true.



B. 2n– 1 is always even: Once again, 2n will always be even. So 2n-1 will always be odd. This conjecture is false.



C. 2n– 1 is odd if n is even: 2n is always even, so 2n-1 will always be odd, regardless of what n is. So this conjecture is true.



D. 2n– 1 is always odd: 2n will always be even. So 2n-1 will always be odd. Once again, this conjecture is true.



Of the 4 conjectures above, only conjecture B is false. So the answer is B.

1. Determine the percent of all voters that did not vote Republican or Democrat but voted "other" instead. Round your answer to
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

1. 10%

2. 49.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The percent of voters who are other is the number of other divided by the total number of voters.

The number of "other" votes is 222. The number of total votes is 2,222.

The percent is 222/2222 = 0.0999. Times the decimal by 100 for the percent.

0.0999*100 = 9.99% rounds to 10%.

2. The probability is found by finding the number of male and registered as democrat, which is 600, and dividing it by the number of males, which is 1,222.

600/1,222 = 0.4909

Multiply by the decimal by 100 to find the percent.

0.4909*100 = 49.09 which rounds to 49.1%.
