Answer:
s = -7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question 12=10(s+4)+50
<u>first step</u>
open the bracket and evaluate for the value of s
12=10(s+4)+50
12 = 10s + 40 + 50
12 = 10s + 90
collect or combine the like terms
12-90 = 10s
-78 = 10s
divide both side by 10
-78/10 = 10s/10
-7.8 = s
therefor s = -7.8
Let x = the larger number
Let y = the smaller number
x + y = 93
x - y = 19 Add the two equations together.
2x = 112 Divide both sides of the equation by 2.
x = 56
56 + y = 93 Subtract 56 from both sides of the equations.
y = 37
Answer:
The probability that 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish is 76%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample of 75 Americans
If 25% or more in the sample speak Spanish, it can be deduced that 24% do not speak Spanish.
The proportion of those who do not speak Spanish is 18 (24% of 75)
Therefore, the proportion of those who speak Spanish is 57 (75 - 19)
This implies that 57/75 x 100 = 76% of the sample speak Spanish.
This 76% of the sample who speak Spanish is equal to the 25% or more who do speak Spanish in the sample.
Probability is the chance that an event may occur from many other events that could have occurred. It is an educated guess or estimate of something or one event happening when all the events in the set are given an equal chance.
