What is 12 1/2% of 256

Mathematics

6 0
To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!

Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of an angle in standard position if the point with coordinates (13, 84) lies
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

If P = (x,y) then formulas for each trigonometric functions are:

sin x = y/r

cos x = x/r

tan x = y/x

cot x = x/y

sec x = r/x

cosec x = r/y

where r = √(x²+y²).

First find r:

r = √(13²+84²)=√(169+7056)=√7225=85.

Then just substitute:

sin x = 84/85

cos x = 13/85

tan x = 84/13

cot x = 13/84

sec x = 85/13

cosec x = 85/84

Of the 8 students in the chess club, three will represent the club at an upcoming competition. How many different 3-person teams
xz_007 [3.2K]
I think that this is a combination problem. From the given, the 8 students are taken 3 at a time. This can be solved through using the formula of combination which is C(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!r!. In this case, n is 8 while r is 3. Hence, upon substitution of the values, we have

C(8,3) = 8!/(8-3)!3!
C(8,3) = 56

There are 56 3-person teams that can be formed from the 8 students.

Which of the following is NOT a conclusion of the Central Limit​ Theorem? Choose the correct answer below. A. The mean of all sa
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The distribution of the sample data will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central limit​ theorem states that the mean of all samples from the same population will be almost equal to the mean of the population, if the large sample size from a population, is given with a finite level of variance.

So, here Option C is not correct conclusion of central limit theorem -The distribution of the sample data will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases.

We can say that the average of sample mean tends to be normal but not the sample data.
