Of means multiply
88%=0.88

0.88x=528

528/0.88=600

Answer:

600 students are enrolled

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this.

you can solve this by using a rule of three.

Step 1

define

the total enrolled students represent the 100%

if

88% ⇔ 528 students

100%⇔ x students

the relation is

$\frac{88}{528}= \frac{100}{x} \\solve\ for\ x\\\frac{x*88}{528}=100\\x*88=100*528\\x=\frac{100*528}{88}\\ x=600$

600 students are enrolled

Have a good day

All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 85% of the students were found to be

Aneli [31]

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

In which

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B)$

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that $A \cap B = 0.65$

78% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that $B = 0.78$

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.78 = b + 0.65$

$b = 0.13$

85% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that $A = 0.85$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.85 = a + 0.65$

$a = 0.20$

Proficient in at least one:

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.20 + 0.13 + 0.65 = 0.98$

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

$C = 1 - (A \cup B) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02$

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

If an urn has 5 white balls 10 red balls what is the probability that 5 randomly selected balls contain exactly 3 white balls?

kondaur [170]

Answer:

0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Without Mincing words let us dive straight into the solution to the question above. We are given the following information which is going to aid in solving this particular question.

====> It is given, that there are 5 white balls and 10 red balls. Hence, the number of the total balls = 5 white balls + 10 red balls = 15 balls.

Therefore, the probability that 5 randomly selected balls contain exactly 3 white balls = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\3\end{array}\right]$ × $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}10\\2&\end{array}\right]$ ÷ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}15\\3\\\end{array}\right]$ = 450 ÷ 3003 = 0.15

Blackcap birds (Sylvia atricapilla) migrate out of Germany before wintertime. Prior to the 1960s, all members of a particular bl

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

D- The blackcaps will begin nesting at their wintering sites in Spain or the United Kingdom, resulting in a larger blackcap population migrating back to Germany after the breeding season has ended.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the inhabitants of Spain and the United Kingdom placing feeders out for the blackcaps, the birds in their nesting sites during the winter will have food to eat, meaning a bigger population of the Blackcaps when they return to their main home in Germany.

This best predicts the effect on the blackcap population if humans in the United Kingdom continue to place food in feeders during the winter.
