The price of gas increases from $2.35 to $2.82 or by $0.47 ($2.82 - $2.35 = $0.47).
The increase as a percentage of the original price is given by
($0.47/$2.35) x 100% = 20%

The answer is 20%
Hope this helps :)

Which scenario best matches the inequality x > 3? A. Joanna needs to be in bed by 10 p.M. It's now just past 7 p.M. How many
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ricardo started studying at 4 p.m and for sure will not stop until after 7 p.m, that means that he will be studying for 3 hours at least, and maybe even longer. So the time he will spend studying is at least 3 hours.

Therefore, x>3, where x is the time Ricardo will spend studying.

If probability of catching a cold is 0.03, what is the probability of 3 people out of six catching a cold?
xeze [42]

Answer:

P(X=x)=0.0004928

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability problem.

-Given the probability of catching a cold is 0.03, n=6

#The probability of exactly 3 people catching a cold is calculated as:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X=3)={6\choose3}0.03^3(1-0.03)^3\\\\=0.0004928

Hence, the probability of exactly 3 in 6 people catching a cold is 0.0004928

In a large population, 60 % of the people have been vaccinated. If 5 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that
Delvig [45]
<h3>Answer:    0.98976</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

60% of the people have been vaccinated, so 40% have not.

The probability of getting five people in a row that aren't vaccinated is (0.40)^5 = 0.01024

Subtract this from 1 to get the probability of at least one vaccinated person in the sample of five.

1-0.01024 = 0.98976

This works because the events "at least one vaccinated" and "none vaccinated" are complementary. One or the other must happen, which means the two probabilities add to 1.
