What percent of 72 is 48 with step by step process

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

67%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few methods to finding the percent of a number.  You can use proportions:

\frac{percent}{100}=\frac{48}{72}

The 'percent' is the percent of the fraction that you are looking for, or 48/72.

Cross-multiply:  72x = (48)(100) or 72x = 4800

Divide both sides by 72:  72x/72 = 4800/72

Solve for 'x':  x = 66.6666...

Round 66.666.... to the nearest percent: 67%

Suppose there are 200 lockers and 200 students. Kayla reasons that since there are 10
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Kayla's reasoning is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The locker problem is as follows:

Imagine you are at a school that has student lockers. There are 200 lockers, all shut and unlocked, and 200 students. Suppose the first student goes along the row and opens every locker. The second student then goes along and shuts every other locker beginning with number 2. The third student changes the state of every third locker beginning with number 3. (If the locker is open the student shuts it, and if the locker is closed the student opens it). The fourth student changes the state of every fourth locker beginning with number 4. Imagine that this continues until the 200 students have followed the pattern with the 200 lockers. At the end, which lockers will be open and which will be closed? Why?

Solution:

So from the information we know that the first student goes along the row and opens every locker.

Then the second student shuts every other locker, i.e. locker numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ..., 196, 198 and 200.

Then the third students changes the state of every third locker, i.e. he/she closes an open locker and opens a closed locker.

So the open lockers are: 1, 5, 6, 12,...

Then the fourth students changes the state of every fourth locker.

So the open lockers are: 1, 4, 5, 6, 8,....

So, on we will observe that the open lockers have a perfect square number such as, 1, 4, 9, 16,....

Consider that the pattern is as follows:

Student 1 opens the locker, Student 2 closes it, Student 3 opens it, person 4 Student and so on.

This is because the square numbers always have an odd number of factors, which leads them to be open at the end.

Take any locker number, 40, for example. Its state (open or closed) is changed for every student whose number in line is a factor of the locker number.

Student      Locker 40 status

     1                    Open

     2                   Close

     4                   Open

     5                   Close

     8                   Open

     10                  Close

    20                  Open

    40                  Close

Like all other lockers numbered with non-square numbers, it ends up closed after all the students have gone through the line because it has an even number of factors.

Consider the locker number 16:

Student      Locker 16 status

     1                    Open

     2                   Close

     4                   Open

     8                   Close

     16                  Open

Thus, we can conclude that all the doors with square numbers on them will remain open because all square numbers have an odd number of factors and the doors with non-square numbers on them will remain close because they have even number of factors.

There will be a total of 14 lockers open.

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169 and 196

So, if there are 10 lockers open in the first 100 lockers there must be only 4 other lockers opened in the next 100.

The average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog is $1,843 (US News and World Report, September 9,
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a. Error is 0.14

b. between 1913.68 to 1772.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Requirement a)

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results.

Given,

Size of the sample n = 50

We know, At 95% confidence interval,

The margin of error,

= 0.98/√n  

= 0.98/√50

= 0.98/7.07

= 0.13859 ~ 0.14

So the margin of error at 95% confidence level is 0.14.

Requirement b)

Given,

Standard deviation σ = 255

Population mean z = 1814

Size of the sample n = 50

We know, At 95% confidence interval,

(z-µ)/(σ/√n)  < Z_0.05

= - Z_0.05 < (z-µ)/(σ/√n) < Z_0.05

= - 1.96 * σ/√n < (z-µ)/(σ/√n)*  σ/√n  < 1.96 * σ/√n  [ in two tail Z test the value of Z_0.05 is 1.96 ]

= - 1.96 * 255/√50 < Z-µ <  1.96 * 255/√50

= -70.6828 < Z-µ < 70.6828

= 70.6828 > µ - Z > -70.6828

= 70.6828 + Z > µ > -70.6828 + Z

= 70.6828 + 1814 > µ > -70.6828 + 1814

=1913.68 > µ > 1772.32

So, the sample mean would be between 1913.68 to 1772.32.

In 2001 polls indicated that 74% of Americans favored mandatory testing of students in public schools as a way to rate the schoo
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The right answer is:

"If 74% of Americans still favor mandatory testing this year, then there is a 1.5% chance that poll results will show 71% or fewer with this opinion."

Step-by-step explanation:

The P-value represents the probability of getting the sample we got, given that the null hypothesis is true. For this reason, it the P-value is lower than the significance level, it means that the sample result is unlikely due to chance, but due to a false null hypothesis.

In this case, the P-value represents a probability P=0.015 of having a sample with proportion p=0.71, given that the population has a proportion π=0.74.

The right answer is:

"If 74% of Americans still favor mandatory testing this year, then there is a 1.5% chance that poll results will show 71% or fewer with this opinion."

1. Exercise 18, section 3.1. Let D be the set of all students at your school and let M(s) be "s is a math major", let C(s) be "s
quester [9]

Answer:

∀s ∈ D, C(s) - - - > E(s)

∀s ∈ D, C(s) - - - > ~ E(s)

∃s ∈ D such that M(s) ∧ C(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

D = set of all students

M(s) = s math major

C(s) = s Computer science major

E(s) = s Engineering major

Expressing the following using quantifies variables and predicates :

A.) Every computer science student is an engineering student

∀s ∈ D, C(s) - - - > E(s)

b. No computer science students are engineering students

∀s ∈ D, C(s) - - - > ~ E(s)

c. Some computer science students are also math majors

∃s ∈ D such that M(s) ∧ C(s)

∃s = Existential Domain

∀s = universal

∧ = connective and

~ = not

∈ = belongs to
