Answer:

The number of boys last year will be 50 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

330 members with 240 adults

The number of children will be;

330-240 = 90

2/3 of 90 are boys

= 2/3 * 90 = 60 boys

Number of girls is 90-60 = 30

Ratio of adults:boys:girls

= 240:60:30

divide through by 30

= 8:2:1

b) A year ago, there were 200 adults but the ratio still remains same

Let the number of girls be x, the number of boys will be 2x

Thus, total number is 200 + x + 2x = 200 + 3x

Total ratio is 8 + 2 + 1 = 11

mathematically;

8/11 * (200 + 3x) = 200

8(200 + 3x) = 11(200)

1600 + 24x = 2200

24x = 2200-1600

24x = 600

x = 600/24

x = 25

So the number of boys will be 25 * 2 = 50

Answer:

2nd choice

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the inital peanuts, we multiply 32 ounces by 3/10 or 0.3. then we add x which are peanuts as well. that makes 0.3 x 32 + x. this is our total peanuts. to find the percantage, we find the whole mixture which is now 32 + x, divide peanuts by the whole mixture and multiply by 100.

Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the thousandth place.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is 19.338% (Rounding to the next thousandth place)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Probability that carbon emissions from the company’s factory exceed the permissible level = 35% = 0.35

Accuracy of the test of emissions level = 85% = 0.85

2. The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is?

These two events, carbon emissions from the company’s factory and the accuracy of the test are independent events, therefore:

Probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

Probability that the test predicts the opposite to be true = 0..35 * 0.85 = 0.2975 (The opposite is that the carbon emissions from the company exceed the permissible level)

Probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is:

0.65 * 0.2975 = 0.193375

The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is 19.338% (Rounding to the next thousandth place
