Answer:

  more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

  (3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

  (7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

  24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

  1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

  532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

  In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

  In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

The frequency table below shows the antenna careers among the incoming class of first-year college students. Every student is ch
neonofarm [45]

To solve this you must use a proportion like so...

\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{part}{whole}

The total number of students that can be chosen are 4,663. This number will represent the whole of one fraction in the proportion. We want to know what percent probability out of these students are engineer, medical doctor/surgeon. This would be considered the part of this fraction. Sum the number of engineering students (615) with medical doctors/surgeons (723) to find this number

723 + 615 = 1,338 students that want to be an engineer or medical doctor/surgeon

Percent's are always taken out of the 100. This means that the other fraction in the proportion will have 100 as the whole and x (the unknown) as the part.

Here is your proportion:

\frac{1,338}{4,663} =\frac{x}{100}

Now you must cross multiply

1,338*100 = 4,663*x

133,800 = 4,663x

To isolate x divide 4,663 to both sides

133,800/4,663 = 4,663x/4,663

28.7 = x

This means that there is a 28.7% of a student with the intent of becoming an engineer or a medical doctor/surgeon to be chosen at random

Hope this helped!
