Answer:
a) 2,650%
b) 27,400%
c) 164,900%
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to measure the percentage we would have to increase the typical value to obtain the values given in a), b) and c).
But 0.2 increased in x% equals
0.2 + 0.2(x/100) =0.2(1+x/100)
So, if we want to increase 0.2 in x%, we must multiply it by (1+x/100)
a)
We need to find the value of x such that
0.2(1+x/100) = 5.5 ⇒ (1+x/100)=5.5/0.2 ⇒ 1+x/100=27.5
⇒ x/100=26.5 ⇒ x=2,650%
b)
0.2(1+x/100) = 55 ⇒ (1+x/100)=55/0.2 ⇒ 1+x/100=275
⇒ x/100=274 ⇒ x=27,400%
c)
5.5 min = 5.5*60 s = 330
0.2(1+x/100) = 330 ⇒ (1+x/100)=330/0.2 ⇒ 1+x/100=1,650
⇒ x/100=1,649 ⇒ x=164,900%
Answer:
QR ≈ 16.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
57 QR = 926.9 ( divide both sides by 57 )
QR ≈ 16.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
it saves 2.5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value of a random variable is the sum of products of possibilities and the probability of each.
Here, you have a probability of 0.9 of saving 5 minutes, and a probability of 0.1 of adding 20 minutes.
__
The expected value of the shortcut is ...
0.9(-5) +0.1(20) = -4.5 +2.0 = -2.5
The shortcut is expected to save 2.5 minutes on average.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The probability of 0.9 comes from the 9 of 10 trips that result in a time saving.
