Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x% of 6 = 5.25

\frac{x}{100} x 6 = 5.25

\frac{(5.25)(100)}{6} = x

x = 87.5 %

discount = 100 - 87.5 %

= 12.5 %

5.25/6=x/100
Cross multiply
6x=525
525/6
87.5% is how much 5.25 is when compared to 6
100-87.5
12.5%
The answer is 12.5%

The number of bacteria in a culture doubles every 5 minutes. At first there are 10, after 5 minutes there are 20, after 10 minut
garik1379 [7]
The answer is 160 because as you stated in the question the number of bacteria doubles every five minutes, and after 10 minutes there are 40. Therefore, after 15 minutes there are 80 (40 doubled is 80), and after 20 (another 5 minutes), the number of bacteria is the double of 80, which is 160.

There is a 15% it will rain on both Saturday and Sunday. There is a 60% chance of rain on Saturday. What is the chance of
Artemon [7]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about conditional probability. Let's say that the probability of raining on Saturday is X=true and the probability of raining on Sunday is Y=true. There is a 15% it will rain on both Saturday and Sunday, to put into the equation it will be:

P(X= true ∩ Y = true) = P(X = true) * P(Y = true)= 0.15

There is a 60% chance of rain on Saturday, mean the  equation is

P(X = true) = 0.6

The question is asking for the chance of rain on Sunday or P(Y = true). If we substitute the second equation to first, it will be:

P(X = true) * P(Y = true)= 0.15

0.6* P(Y = true)= 0.15

P(Y = true)= 0.15/0.6

P(Y = true)= 0.25 = 25%

A principal believes 50% of her music students reported their practice hours accurately. Based on that assumption, she ran 200 s
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C. unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A probability is said to be extremely likely if it is 95% or higher, and extremely unlikely if it is 5% or lower. A probabilty higher than 50% and lower than 95% is said to be likely, and higher than 5% and lower than 50% is said to be unlikely.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 0.48, \sigma = 0.18

How likely is it that a single survey would return a mean of 30%?

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 0.30.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.30 - 0.48}{0.18}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587.

So the correct answer is:

C. unlikely

If 2x+4 = (x²)²÷2 then what is x?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4 = (x²)²÷2

2x + 4 = x^4/2

x^4 = 4x + 8

x^4 - 4x - 8 = 0

We can try trial an error to solve this

Looks like x = 2 fits it:

2^4 - 4(2) - 8

= 16 -8 -8 = 0

so x = 2 is one solution.

I can't find any other solution among other integers.

To find the other solutions you can draw a graph manually or by using software.

There will be either 1 or 3 more real solutions.

I used software to draw the graph and found one other solution:

x = -1.296
