Hi ;-)

$-\frac{1}{3}-(-\frac{1}{2})=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\\\\3\frac{1}{3}-5=-(5-3\frac{1}{3})=-(4\frac{3}{3}-3\frac{1}{3})=-1\frac{2}{3}\\\\-1\frac{4}{5}-(-2\frac{7}{8})=-1\frac{4}{5}+2\frac{7}{8}=-1\frac{32}{40}+2\frac{35}{40}=2\frac{35}{40}-1\frac{32}{40}=1\frac{3}{40}\\\\-3\frac{3}{8}-\frac{7}{8}=-(3\frac{3}{8}+\frac{7}{8})=-3\frac{10}{8}=-3\frac{5}{4}=-4\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\frac{3}{4}-(-1\frac{1}{12})=4\frac{9}{12}+1\frac{1}{12}=5\frac{10}{12}$

Talja [164]

The percent equation is
n=2.8%×45 or n=0.028×45. where n is the unknown number.
the proportion would be
n/45=2.8/100
the answer is 1.26

A type of green paint is made by mixing 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of blue.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Use 1.75 cups of blue and 1 cup of yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be placed in the category of ratios and proportions. There is a ratio of color mixing which contains the proportion of two colors i.e blue and yellow. When we use 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of yellow then we get green color so if we mix half of their amounts then we can get less or simply half amount of color too. Hence adding 1 cup of yellow and 1.75 cup of blue will give us small amount in result.

I hope this helps have a great day :)

Find Z for the following sequence:<br> 210, 209, 213, 186, 202, Z

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

as far as I can tell the steps between the given numbers are

-1

-27

+16

1 can be expressed as 1³

4 can be expressed as 2²

27 can be expressed as 3³

16 can be expressed as 4²

my best guess is that next one is minus 5³ = -125

edit: technically the given steps can be expressed as

(-1)³

(-2)²

(-3)³

(-4)²

somewhat nicer pattern there

23% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and as

zlopas [31]

Answer:

a) There is a 29.42% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is exactly two.

b) There is a 41.37% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is more than two.

c) There is a 69.49% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is between two and five, inclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this exercise using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 students are randomly selected, so $n = 10$ .

23% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. This means that $\pi = 0.23$

(a) exactly two

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{8} = 0.2942$

There is a 29.42% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is exactly two.

(b) more than two

This is $P(X > 2)$ .

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities of these events must be 1. So:

$P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)$

In which

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{10} = 0.0733$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{9} = 0.2188$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{8} = 0.2942$

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0733 + 0.2188 + 0.2942 = 0.5863$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.5863 = 0.4137$

There is a 41.37% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is more than two.

(c) between two and five inclusive.

This is

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{8} = 0.2942$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439$

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.2942 + 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 = 0.6949$

There is a 69.49% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is between two and five, inclusive.
