Answer:

100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Population</em><em> </em><em>Of</em><em> </em><em>People</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>Percentage</em><em>ncrease</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>New</em><em> </em><em>Population </em><em>corresponds </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>(</em><em>That</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>We</em><em> </em><em>want</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>popula</em><em>tion</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>corresponds</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>100%</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>is </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>original</em><em> </em><em>population</em><em>.</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>Original </em><em>Population</em><em>;</em>

<em>\frac{100}{115}\times {115}{}</em>

<em>100 \: people</em>

How many 10-digit ternary strings are there that contain exactly two 0s, three 1s, and five 2s?
Svet_ta [14]

There are \dbinom{10}2 ways of picking 2 of the 10 available positions for a 0. 8 positions remain.

There are \dbinom83 ways of picking 3 of the 8 available positions for a 1. 5 positions remain, but we're filling all of them with 2s, and there's \dbinom55=1 way of doing that.

So we have

\dbinom{10}2\dbinom83\dbinom55=\dfrac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}\dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}\dfrac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}=2520

The last expression has a more compact form in terms of the so-called multinomial coefficient,

\dbinom{10}{2,3,5}=\dfrac{10!}{2!3!5!}=2520

PART B:

They are equally likely to occur because both of them have a portion of 90 degrees.
Hopefully my answer helped :)

A frame is marked down by 22 percent from an original price of $14.50. What is the new price?
Valentin [98]
22% = 22/100 22/100 * 14.50 = 3.19 (this is the amount discounted off original price) 14.50 - 3.19 = $11.31
