1000 students participated in a survey on a university campus about their TV watching habits. All

nasty-shy [4]

Hi, you've asked an unclear question. However, I inferred you may want to know the actual number of students represented by the percentages of 27%, and 61%.

Explanation:

Finding percentage usually involves performing two operations; multiplication and division.

First, all (100%) of respondents said they watched TV at least at some point during the day.

Next, 27% of respondents stated that they only watched television during prime time hours, in which the actual number of students represented by the percentage is calculated by dividing 27 by 100 and multiplying by 1000 =

$\frac{27}{100} * 1000 = 270$ .

Finally, we are told 61% of respondents stated that they spend prime time hours in their dorm rooms. The actual number of students represented by the percentage is calculated by dividing 61 by 100 and multiplying by 1000 =

$\frac{61}{100} * 1000 = 610$

Ryan flew from Wiley Post to Ponca City and back. Ryan maintained an average rate of 450 mph going to Ponca City and an average

Reil [10]

The answer is B, and here's why. Set up a table for "there" and "back" and use the distance = rate * time formula, like this:
               d             r            t
there       d           450         t
back        d           400        1-t

Let me explain this table to you. The distance is d, we don't know what it is, that's what we are actually looking for. We only know that if we go somewhere from point A to point B, then back again to point A, the distance there is the same as the distance back. Hence, the d in both spaces. There he flew 450 mph, back he flew 400 mph. If the total distance was 1 hour, he flew an unknown time there and one hour minus that unknown time back. For example, if he flew for 20 minutes there, one hour minus 20 minutes means that he flew 60 minutes - 20 minutes = 40 minutes back. See? Now, because the distance there = the distance back, we can set the rt in both equal to each other. If d = rt there and d = rt back and the d's are the same, then we can set the rt's equal to each other. 450t = 400(1-t) and
450t = 400 - 400t and 850t = 400. Solve for t to get t = .47058. Now, t is time, not the distance and we are looking for distance. So multiply that t value by the rate (cuz d = r*t) to get that the distance one way is
d = 450(.470580 and d = 211. 76 or, rounded like you need, 212.

The 20 tallest buildings in the world have an average height of 1,667.25 feet, with a standard deviation of 318.31 feet. The Zif

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Marina, Wuhan center, Zifeng Tower , Shangai Tower

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z-scores of the Shangai tower and the Marina, we can calculate their heights

Mathematically, the z-score or standard score can be calculated as follows

Zscore = X - μ/σ

where σ and μ represents the standard deviation and the population mean respectively.

For Shaghai Tower ;

1.27 = (X - 1667.25)/318.31

318.31 × 1.27 = X - 1667.25

404.25 = X - 1667.25

X = 1667.25 + 404.25 = 2071.50

The height of the Shaghai Tower is 2071.50 feet

For Marina, we use the same procedure;

-0.84 = (X - 1667.25)/318.31

318.31 × -0.84 = X - 1667.25

-267.38 = X - 1667.25

X = 1667.25 - 267.38 = 1399.87

The height of Marina building is 1399.87

Listing the buildings' height in ascending order we have; Marina, Wuhan center, Zifeng Tower , Shangai Tower

The reasoning behind this can be mathematically explained in terms of the z-score. The standard score of the heights of the building give us an insight as to how tall the buildings can be.

Since they are in the same population i.e building heights, the higher the z-score, the higher the height of the building. A positive z-score indicates a height taller than the average while a negative z-score indicate a height lower than the average height which is the mean
