Answer:

18 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Since girls have one more unit of ratio than boys, and there are 6 more girls in class,

1 unit = 6 people

2 units = 12 people

3 units = 18 people

Therefore, plug it back in, there are 12 boys and 18 girls

45% of the 647 students at Royal Oak High attended the football game. How many students did not attend?

Lostsunrise [7]

First multiply
.45*647= 291.15
291.15 is the number of people that attended
subtract 291.15 from 647 and you get 355.85 wait.. but that's not possible so just round it so the answer to your question is 355 people did not attened

A polling organization contacts 1172 male university graduates who have a white collar job and asks whether or not they had rece

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The population in the study are those male university graduates who have a white collar job.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents.

In this problem, we have that:

Sample of 1172 male university graduates who have a white collar job and asks whether or not they had received a raise atnbsp work nbspduring the past 4 months.

What is the population in the study?

The sample is of male university graduates who have a white collar job.

So the population in the study are those male university graduates who have a white collar job.

at a store, the probability that a customer buys socks is 0.15. the probability that a customer buys socks given that the custom

leva [86]

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First we assign a name to the events:

Event S: a customer buys socks

Event H: a customer buys shoes.

We know that :

$P (S) = 0.15$

We also know that the probability of S given that H occurs is:

$P(S|H) =\frac{P(S\ and\ H)}{P(H)}=0.20$

If two events S and H are independent then:

$P (S) * P (H) = P (S\ and\ H)$

This mean that if two events S and H are independent then:

$P(S|H) =\frac{P(S)*P(H))}{P(H)}$

$P(S|H) =P(S)$

We know that:

$P(S|H) =0.20$ and $P (S) = 0.15$

$0.20\neq 0.15$

This means that S and H events are dependent.

The answer is the option B

If your good in math please help me

Feliz [49]

Answer:

350.82

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, you must add up all of the areas of each shape of the prism in order to get the sum surface area.

The rectangle's area ( $lw$ ):

$7.21*14=100.94$

The triangle's area ( $\frac{1}{2}bh$ ):

$\frac{1}{2} (6)(8)$

$\frac{1}{2} (48)=24$

Now add up all the sides. (3 Rectangles, 2 Triangles.)

$100.94 + 100.94 + 100.94 + 24 + 24$

$=350.82$

The total surface area is 350.82 cm squared.

A manufacturer of televisions subjects the equipment to a comprehensive testing process for all essential functions before the t

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The probability is $P(X \le 9) =0.9138$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability of the television passing the test is p = 0.95

The sample size is n = 10

Generally the comprehensive testing process for all essential functions follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the probability that at least 9 pass the test is mathematically represented as

$P(X \le 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10 )$

=> $P(X \le 9) = [^{10}C_9 * (0.95)^9 * (1- 0.95)^{10-9}]+ [^{10}C_{10} * {0.95}^{10} * (1- 0.95)^{10-10}]$

=> $P(X \le 9) = [10 * 0.6302 * 0.05 ]+ [1 *0.5987 * 1 ]$

=> $P(X \le 9) =0.9138$
