Hello!
So out of the 950 students at Sunnydale Elementary, 285 wore the school colors. First off, let's divide the number of students that wore the school colors by the number of total students. 285/950 is 0.3. To convert that into a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100. 0.3 * 100 is 30. There. 30% of Sunnydale Elementary students wore the school colors.
3 tens= 30
3 tens 3 tenth= 30.3
30-30.3= -0.3
The equation given in the question has to be answered to the nearest tenth. The only thing that one should be careful about is the cross multiplication part. Other than that there is no difficulty in the given problem. Now let us get down to the equation in the question.
15/30 = n/34
30 * n = 15 * 34
30n = 510
n = 510/30
= 51/3
= 17
So the value of the unknown variable "n" comes out to be 17.
Answer:
a) x = 1225.68
b) x = 1081.76
c) 1109.28 < x < 1198.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Th random variable X for steer weight follows a normal distribution:
X~ N( 1154 , 86 )
Find:
a) the highest 10% of the weights?
b) the lowest 20% of the weights?
c) the middle 40% of the weights?
Solution:
a)
We will compute the corresponding Z-value for highest cut off 10%:
Z @ 0.10 = 1.28
Z = (x-u) / sd
Where,
u: Mean of the distribution.
s.d: Standard deviation of the distribution.
1.28 = (x - 1154) / 86
x = 1.28*86 + 1154
x = 1225.68
b)
We will compute the corresponding Z-value for lowest cut off 20%:
-Z @ 0.20 = -0.84
Z = (x-u) / sd
-0.84 = (x - 1154) / 86
x = -0.84*86 + 1154
x = 1081.76
c)
We will compute the corresponding Z-value for middle cut off 40%:
Z @ 0.3 = -0.52
Z @ 0.7 = 0.52
[email protected] < x < [email protected]
-.52*86 + 1154 < x < 0.52*86 + 1154
1109.28 < x < 1198.72
Answer: 120
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that there are 10 people in a math club and that three people will be chosen for the Pi Day committee.
The number of different ways that the club members can structure the committee goes thus:
This can be solved by:
nCr = n! / r! (n - r)!
where n = 10
r = 3
= n! / r! (n - r)!
= 10! / 3! (10 - 3)!
= (10 × 9 × 8) / (3 × 2)
=120
