75% of 32 students are interested in Mathematics.
Therefore, number of students who are interested in Mathematics
$= 75\% \: \: of \: \: 32 \\ = \frac{75}{100} \times 32 \\ = \frac{3}{4} \times 32 \\ = 3 \times 8 \\ = 24$
So, number of students interested in Mathematics is 24.
Therefore, number of students who are not interested in Mathematics = 32 - 24 = 8
So, 8 students are not interested in Mathematics.

Alternative method:

Percentage of students who are interested in Mathematics = 75%
Then, percentage of students who are not interested in Mathematics = (100 - 75)% = 25%
Therefore, number of students who are not interested in Mathematics
$= 25\% \: \: of \: \: 32 \\ = \frac{25}{100} \times 32 \\ = \frac{1}{4} \times 32 \\ = 1 \times 8 \\ = 8$

Answer:

8

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Exercise 1.6 introduces a study on the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior. As part of this study 1

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

(A) Population: UCB undergraduates

Sample: The selected 129 UCB undergraduates

(B) Yes, they can be generalized to the population

No, the findings of this single study cannot be used to establish causal relationships between socio-economic classes and unethical behaviors.

Step-by-step explanation:

STUDY: Relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior.

The bases for determining social class here are: money, education, and respected job.

RESULT: Those who identified as upper class took more candy than others.

(A) Identify the population of interest and the sample, in this study.

The population of interest in this study is UCB undergraduates.

The sample in this study is the 129 UCB undergraduates who were selected and who agreed to take part in the experiment. They were the participants who were divided into the two social classes before the experiment was conducted.

(B) The results of the study can be generalized to the population of UCB undergraduates since it's likely that the results would be same in another group of 129 UCB undergraduates.

The findings or results of the study cannot be used to establish causal relationships unless the study is conducted in more universities and majority of the results are same with this.

Please walk me through this

Answer:

X is 160. because you can add all the value of x. But first substrate 540 with 100 which is 440. then 1/2x + 1/2x+ (x-15) + (x-25) which is further simplified as x + 2x - 40. then it's further simplified as 3x - 40 = 440. then add 40 with 440 which is 480 then divide it by 3 which is 160. therefore X= 160.

Vita saved $72 last December. This amount represents 2/9 of the total amount she saved last year. What is the total amount Vita

GrogVix [38]

$\dfrac{2}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$72$

-----------------------------------------------
Find 1/9 :
-----------------------------------------------
$\dfrac{1}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$72 \div 2$

$\dfrac{1}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$36$

-----------------------------------------------
Find 9/9 :
-----------------------------------------------
$\dfrac{9}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$36 \times 9$

$\dfrac{9}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$324$

-----------------------------------------------
Answer: The total amount is $324.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahmed received a box of gifts. The box is a rectangular prism with the same height and width, and the length

is twice the width. The volume of the box is 3,456 in? What is the height of the box?

Volume of a Rectangular pyramid = Length × Width × Height

From the above question

Height = Width = x

Length = 2 × Width

Length = 2x

Volume = 3,456 cubic inches

Hence,

3,456 = 2x × x × x

3456 = 2x³

x³ = 3456/2

x³ = 1728

Cube root both sides

Cube root(x³) = cube root (1728 cubic Inches)

x = 12 inches

Therefore, the height is 12 inches
