Answer:

To divide by a decimal, multiply the divisor by a power of ten to make the divisor a whole number. Then multiply the dividend by the same power of ten. You can think of this as moving the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right as you move the decimal point in the divisor

Hope I helped :)

According to a study done by Wakefield Research, the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is 0.47.

UNO [17]

Answer:

Probability that the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is greater than 0.5 is 0.19766.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to a study done by Wake field Research, the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is 0.47.

Suppose a random sample of 200 Americans is asked to disclose whether they can order a meal in a foreign language.

Let $\hat p$ = sample proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language

The z-score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

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

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion

p = population proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language = 0.47

n = sample of Americans = 200

Probability that the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is greater than 0.5 is given by = P( $\hat p$ > 0.50)

P( $\hat p$ > 0.06) = P( $\frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ > $\frac{0.5-0.47}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{200} } }$ ) = P(Z > 0.85) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.85)

= 1 - 0.80234 = 0.19766

Now, in the z table the P(Z $\leq$ x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.85 in the z table which has an area of 0.80234.

Therefore, probability that the proportion of Americans who can order a meal in a foreign language is greater than 0.5 is 0.19766.

5a – 10b = 45, when b = 3

balandron [24]

Well, since you have the value of b, the first thing you want to do is substitute that value in for b.

5a - 10(3) = 45

10*3 = 30

5a - 30 = 45

Now, to get the variable by itself (a) you have to + 30 because you have to reverse the subtraction.

5a = 75

Now, you divide by 5 to finish getting a by itself.

a = 15

If the angle of a sector measures 60°, what fraction of the circle is the sector?

maks197457 [2]

The angle of the sector is also equal to the arc measure of the circle. This is because a sector is made up of two radii of a circle.

A circle is 360 degrees.

60 / 360 = 1/6

The sector is 1/6 of the circle.

Hope this helps!! :)
