Question 5 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

Find the percent of decrease from 340 to 260. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Marina CMI [18]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 340 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 340, so we can write it down as 100%=340.

4. We know, that x% equals 260 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=260.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=340

2) x%=260

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=340/260

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 260 is what percent of 340

100%/x%=340/260

(100/x)*x=(340/260)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.30769230769*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.30769230769) to get x

100/1.30769230769=x

76.4705882353=x

x=76.4705882353

now we have:

260 is 76.4705882353% of 340

The mean is the average value of a given set of numbers, and the median is the number in the middle of a set of numbers arranged in increasing order

The correct values as response to the questions are;

The minimum possible top score is 21

The maximum possible top score is 32

The minimum of the possible standard deviation is approximately 1.26

The maximum of the possible standard deviation is approximately 11.7

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

The given parameters are;

The number of students that take the test, n = 5

The amount of points for each problem = 1 point

The median score = 9

The mean Score = 10

Required:

The minimum possible score;

The maximum possible top score

The minimum of the possible standard deviations

The maximum of the possible standard deviations

Solution:

Given that there is a score (the median) which is 9, we have;

The scores obtainable in the test is Scores ≥ 9

Therefore, for a score of 10, we have;

The minimum total points obtainable = Mean × Number of students

Therefore;

Total minimum total points obtainable by the 5 students = 5 × 10 = 50

The minimum possible top score

By arrangement, with the median at the middle, the minimum possible top score is given as follows;

0, 0, 9, 20, 21

Therefore, the minimum possible top score is 21

The maximum possible top score

The maximum possible top score is similarly given by arrangement of the numbers as follows'

0, 0, 9, 9, 32

The maximum possible top score is 32

The minimum standard deviation

By arrangement and selection, the minimum standard deviation is given as follows;

The minimum of the possible standard deviations of (9, 9, 9, 11, 12) ≈ 1.26

The maximum of the possible standard deviation

The maximum of the possible standard deviation is given as follows;

The maximum of the possible standard deviation of (0, 0, 9, 9, 32) ≈ 11.7

Find the volume of the rectangular prism. 3

12345 [234]

Step-by-step explanation:

How are we supposed to find volume if you don't enter the other elements I.e width, length and height?

But just in case the formulae for finding volume is to multiply is elements. So to find volume multiply is width, length and height.
