Answer:

Approximately the number of men is 203 and number of women is 47.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the United States Air Force has 19 women for every 81 men enlisted.

It means the ratio between men and women is 81:19.

Sum of ratio is

Therefore for each 100 people, there are 81 men and 19 women.

Total number of peoples is 250.

In 250 members the number of men is

The numbers of persons cannot be a fraction values or a decimal value, therefore the number of men is 203.

In 250 members the number of women is

Therefore approximately the number of men is 203 and number of women is 47.

What is the answer to the equation 1 1/2 x 3/4 + 1/78 = 9/8 x 5/8

lubasha [3.4K]

11/2*3/4+1/78=9/8*5/8

5.5*3/4+1/78=9/8*5/8

16.5/4+1/78=9/8*5/8

4.125+1/78=9/8*5/8

4.125+0.013=9/8*5/8

4.125+0.013=1.125*5/8

4.125+0.013=5.625/8

4.125+0.013=0.703

4.138=0.703

the answer is 4.138=0.703

A test consists of 10 true or false questions. To pass the test a student must answer at least eight questions correctly. If the

forsale [732]

<h3>The probability of student passing the quiz with at least 50% of the questions correct is 0.05457.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of T/F question = 10

The minimum answers needed correctly answered = 8

So, student needs to answer at least 8 questions correctly.

Here, the possibility of answering a question correctly = $(\frac{1}{2})$ = p = 0.5

Also, the possibility of answering a question wrong = $(\frac{1}{2})$ = q = 0.5

Now, to pass he needs to answer 8 or more ( 8 , 9 or 10) answers correctly.

P(answering 8 correct answer) = $^{10}C_8(p)^8(q)^2 = ^{10}C_8(0.5)^8(0.5)^2 = 0.0439$

P(answering 9 correct answer) = $^{10}C_9(p)^9(q)^1 = ^{10}C_9(0.5)^9(0.5)^1 = 0.0097$

P(answering 10 correct answer) = $^{10}C_{10}(p)^{10}(q)^0 = ^{10}C_{10}(0.5)^{10}(0.5)^0 = 0.00097$

So, the total Probability = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

= (0.0439) + (0.0097) + (0.00097)

= 0.05457

Hence, the probability that the student passes the quiz with at least 8 of the questions correct is 0.05457.
