One fifth of the participants is 1/5*100=100/5=20 is the number of the participants given medicine. So the number of participants given placebo is 100-20=80.
80% of the 80 who took placebo felt improvements, so 20% of 80, which is
(20/100)*80=(2/10)*80=160/10=16 is the number of participants who took placebo and felt no improvement.
P(choosing participant who took placebo and felt no improvement)=
n(participant who took placebo and felt no improvement)/n(participants)
=16/100=0.16
Answer:
$6
Step-by-step explanation:
50 x 1.08 = 54
60-54=6
Depending on how it is written, it could be either of these following solutions:
f(x) = x/2 - 6 or f(x) = x/(2-6)
For the first, we solve for x by replacing f(x) with 0
x/2 - 6 = 0
x/2 = 6
x = 3
For the second, do the same
x/(2-6) = 0
x/-4 = 0
x = 0
This is my work on the problem.
I hope this helps
You are multiplying by 3 each time. This sequence is geometric.
9 = 3*3 = 3^2
27 = 3*9 = 3*3*3 = 3^3
81 = 3*27 = 3*3*3*3 = 3^4
and so on.
The general rule is 3^x which is choice D
