A certain university in the United States has a student enrollment of 19,100. Mr. Hill knows the percentage of students that are

male and the percentage of students that are female.
To conduct the simulation, Mr. Hill has placed one hundred colored chips in a bag, using the appropriate percentages of enrolled male and female university students. Red chips represent males, and yellow chips represent females.

Suppose a student reaches in the bag and randomly selects nine red chips and eleven yellow chips. Based on this sample, what is a good estimate for the percentage of enrolled university students that are male?
__%

To conduct the simulation, Mr. Hill has placed one hundred colored chips in a bag, using the appropriate percentages of enrolled male and female university students. Red chips represent males, and yellow chips represent females.

Suppose a student reaches in the bag, randomly selects twenty chips, and estimates that 60% of the students are male. How many yellow chips were in their sample?

Answer:

45%

40 yellow chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Total chips: 9 + 11 = 20

P(Male) = 9/20 × 100 = 45%

60% of 100

60/100 × 100

60 red

100 - 60 = 40 yellow chips

Answer:

8595 male

8 yellow chips

Step-by-step explanation:

19100 total number

red- male, yellow- female

9 red and 11 yellow

total= 9+11= 20

19100*9/20= 8595 male students

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

19100 total number

60% = male, then 40%= female

40%*20= 8 yellow

8 yellow chips

This is an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be expressed mathematically in the following way: 
y=a (1+r)^{t}.
Parameter a presents initial amount.
Parameter r is percentage increase. 
Parameter t is time.
An equation that would describe given problem is:
y=400 (1+0.02)^{t}
t is the time in years.
I attached the graph of this function.

Prove the identity with steps.
Sav [38]
Remember that a double angle formula for cosine is
\cos(2x)=\cos^{2}x-\sin^{2}x

So
\cos^{2}(2x)-\sin^{2}(2x)=\cos(4x)
\rightarrow \cos^{2}(2x)-\sin^{2}(2x)=\cos(2*2x)
\rightarrow \cos^{2}(2x)-\sin^{2}(2x)=\cos^{2}(2x)-\sin^{2}(2x)

10. The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number. Their difference is 14 less than the second number. Find each
Lynna [10]

The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number:

x + y = 2x +13

x - y = y - 14

solve the system of equations:

x - (x + 13) = (x +13) - 14

x = -12

y = 1
