Answers:

  1. B) 66%
  2. C) 34%
  3. See the diagram below
  4. C) 86% of the people who studied passed the quiz.

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

Explanations:

Problem 1

We have B = 62+32 = 94 people who wear a belt. Of this total, A = 62 belt wearers also have a watch. So A/B = 62/94 = 0.6596 = 65.96% = 66% of the belt wearers have a watch. This value is approximate.

-------------------------------

Problem 2

In the previous problem we found that roughly 66% of the belt wearers have a watch. This must mean about 100% - 66% = 34% of the belt wearers do not have a watch.

-------------------------------

Problem 3

The question is "<u>Among left handers, what proportion has neat handwriting?</u>" which means we're effectively only concerned with the first row that says "left-handed". In this row, there are 5 who write neat, and 10 who do not. We have B = 5+10 = 15 people who are left-handed. We'll divide everything in this row by this value of B.

So for A = 5, it turns into the approximate proportion A/B = 5/15 = 0.33 meaning that about 33% of the left-handers have neat handwriting.

For the other value in this row, A = 10 turns into A/B = 10/15 = 0.67 = meaning that about 67% of the left-handers have messy hand writing.

You'll do the same thing for row 2, but you'll divide everything by B = 65 (because there are 34+31 = 65 right-handed people total).

The filled out table is shown below.

-------------------------------

Problem 4

Let's say we ignore the percentage signs. Adding the values across the first row gets us B = 86+14 = 100 people who passed the quiz. Of that, A = 86 people who passed also studied as shown in the top left corner.

We can then see that A/B = 86/100 = 86% of the people who passed the quiz also studied. Notice the phrasing here. It's <u>not</u> the other way around. We would not say "86% of the people who studied passed the quiz". Your teacher has the order swapped unfortunately. If choice C said "86% of the people who passed the quiz studied for the test", then it would be fully correct. However, I think that's what they were going for and made a typo.

If we did state that "86% of the people who studied passed the quiz", then we'd be considering the first column instead of the first row. However, note how the percentages in the first column do not add to 100%.

The world's population has grown at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year since 1945. There were approximately 4 billion peopl
kkurt [141]

Answer:  f(t) = 4000000000( 1 .019)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, According to the question,  The population of the world is 4 billion (approx).

Again According to the question, The world's population has grown at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year since 1945.

Therefore, after 1975 the growth rate will remains same.

Thus, the population of the world after t years,

f(t) = 4000000000( 1+\frac{1.9}{100} )^t   (By the formula A = P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t )

⇒f(t) = 4000000000( 1.019 )^t

Where 1.019 is the growth rate and 4 billion is the initial population.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

80x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you pay 80 a month then to find the total you have paid after any number of months you would multiply amount times time which in this case is 80

a constant is the a number on its own so in this case there would be none

a coefficient is the number in front of a variable. Since the equation is 80x the coefficient is 80

Py+7=6y+q<br> what is the answer for this question (linear equations with unknown coefficients)?
Temka [501]
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)
