Let's say he's gonna use x grams of 90% gold alloy and y grams of 50% gold alloy.

The total percentage of gold in the mixture will thus be (x*0.9+y*0.5)/8=0.75 (=75%)

What is more x+y=8

The system is thus x+y=8, 0.9x+0.5y=8*0.75=6
From the first one we get y=8-x, which we insert in the second one : x(0.9-0.5)+0.5*8=4 hence x=(6-0.5*8)/(0.4)=5 and y=8-5=3

The answer is 5 grams of 90% gold and 3 grams of 50% gold

Approximately 10% of all people are left-handed. If 200 people are randomly selected, what is the expected number of left-handed
katrin [286]

Answer:

N(L) = 20

The expected number of left handed people is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Percentage of left handed people P(L) = 10%

Total number of selected people N(T) = 200

The Expected number of left handed people N(L) is;

N(L) = Total number of selected people × Percentage of left handed people/100%

N(L) = N(T) × P(L)/100%

Substituting the given values;

N(L) = 200 × 10%/100%

N(L) = 200 × 0.1

N(L) = 20

The expected number of left handed people is 20.
