Answer:

6.8% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

a drop of 8% means that only 92% of 125 boys remained on honor roll from last year; .92 x 125 = 115

a drop of 5% means that only 95% of 80 girls remained on honor roll from last year; .95 x 80 = 76

total number of students on honor roll last year = 125 + 80 = 205

total number of students on honor roll this year = 115 + 76 = 191

percent of change = (191 - 205) ÷ 205 = -14/205 = -.068

-.068, which represents a 6.8% decrease

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value between c and d is given by:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.

We can consider 8 am = 0, and 8:30 am  = 30, so a = 0, b = 30

Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Between 15 and 25, so:

P(15 \leq X \leq 25) = \frac{25 - 15}{30 - 0} = 0.3333

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.
