Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

2.79 - 2.49 = $0.30

0.30 / 2.49 = 0.12 = 12% (decimal changes to percent)

You can check your work by doing original cost times the decimal of the percent increase. $2.49 * 0.12 = $0.30. Add this to original -> 0.30 + 2.49 = $2.79.

2.79 - 2.49 = .30

then divide the amount increased by the original number and multiply by 100

.3 / 2.49 x 100 = 12%

-4(n - 6) = 12<br><br> Solve the Equation.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

-4(n - 6) = 12

n - 6 = -12/4 divide both sides by -4

n - 6 = -3

n = -3 + 6 add both sides by 6

n = 3

hope that helps, God bless!

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 46.0 and 56.

barxatty [35]

Answer: 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Interval for uniform distribution : [46.0 minutes, 56.0 minutes]

The probability density function will be :-

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{56-46}=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1\ \ , 46$

The probability that a given class period runs between 50.75 and 51.25 minutes is given by :-

$P(50.75$

Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.75 and 51.25 minutes = 0.05

Suppose 40% of the students in a university are baseball players. If a sample of 781 students is selected, what is the probabili

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$P(p>0.43) = 0.0436$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p = 40\%$ -- proportion of baseball players

$n = 781$ --- selected sample

Required

Determine P(p>43%)

First, calculate the z score using:

$Z = \frac{\^{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

This gives:

$Z = \frac{48\%-40\%}{\sqrt{\frac{40\% *(1 - 40\%)}{781}}}$

Convert % to decimal

$Z = \frac{0.43-0.40}{\sqrt{\frac{0.40 *(1 - 0.40)}{781}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.43-0.40}{\sqrt{\frac{0.40 *0.60}{781}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.43-0.40}{\sqrt{\frac{0.24}{781}}}$

$Z = \frac{0.03}{\sqrt{0.00030729833}}$

$Z = \frac{0.03}{0.01752992669}$

$Z = 1.71$

So:

$P(p>0.43) = P(Z>1.71)$

$P(p>0.43) = 1 - P(Z$

$P(p>0.43) = 1 - 0.9564$

$P(p>0.43) = 0.0436$
