The fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

Since there are six essays and each student is required to write an essay on one of the six topics, the probability of choosing one of the six topic is

P(one topic) = one topic/total number of topics

= 1/6.

Since we have 100 students, the fewest number of students that could choose the topic selected by most students is

n = Probability of selecting one topic × total number of students

= P(one topic) × 100

= 1/6 × 100

= 16.67

≅ 17 students.

So, the fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Rate of change in elevation  = 0.6 in/year

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

Current elevation (Missing) = 7,602 feet

Given:

Old elevation = 7,602 feet

Number of year = 7,600

Find:

Rate of change in elevation

Computation:

Change in elevation = 7,602 - 7,600

Change in elevation = 2 ft

Change in elevation = 2 x 12 = 24 inches

Rate of change in elevation  = 24 / 40

Rate of change in elevation  = 0.6 in/year

A copy machine makes 24 copies per minute. how many copies does it make in 5 minutes and 30 seconds
enot [183]
In 1 minute the copy machine copies = 24
That means
In 60 seconds the copy machine copies = 24
First we need to convert 5 minutes and 30 seconds to seconds
Then
5 minutes and 30 seconds = (5 * 60) + 30
                                           = 300 + 30
                                           = 330 seconds
So
In 330 seconds the copy machine will copy = (24/60) * 330
                                                                     = 4 * 33
                                                                     = 132
So in 5 minutes and 30 seconds the copy machine will copy 132 copies.
