A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer:
P(R) = 0.14
P(I) = 0.16
P(D) = 0.315
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Democrat = D
Republican = R
Independent = I
If 45% are Democrats, 35% are Republicans, and 20% are independents, then
Total registered voters = 100
In an election, 70% of the Democrats, 40% of the Republicans, and 80% of the independents voted in favor of a parks and recreation bond proposal. That is,
D = 0.7 × 45 = 31.5
R = 0.4 × 35 = 14
I = 0.8 × 20 = 16
If a registered voter chosen at random is found to have voted in favor of the bond, what is the probability that the voter is
a Republican:
P(R) = 14 /100 = 0.14
an Independent
P(I) = 16/100 = 0.16
a Democrat
P(D) = 31.5/100 = 0.315
Answer:
c = $5,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
c = 0.9s
where,
s = amount sold
c = commission on sales
How much commission will he or she earn if the amount sold is $6,000?
Find c when she = $6,000
c = 0.9s
= 0.9 × 6,000
= 5,400
c = $5,400
(c, s) (5400, 6000)
Solution: We are given below data:
Now to find the mean deviation, we use the below formula:
Where:
represents the summation
X, represents the observation.
represents the mean
N represents the number of observation.
Therefore, the mean deviation is:
