By what percent will a fraction increase if its numerator is decreased by 30%

Nadya [2.5K]2 years ago

3 0

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = numerator

Let y = denominator

$\implies \dfrac{x}{y}$

Decreased by 30% = 100% - 30% = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

Decreased by 50% = 100% - 50% = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

$\implies \dfrac{0.7x}{0.5y}$

$\implies \dfrac{0.7}{0.5}=1.4$

$\implies 1.4 \ \dfrac{x}{y}$

1.4 as a percentage = 1.4 x 100 = 140%

Therefore, the percentage increase is 140 - 100 = 40%

Calculating conditional probabilities - random permutations. About The letters (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) are put in a random order.

Evgesh-ka [11]

A="b is in the middle"

B="c is to the right of b"

C="The letter def occur together in that order"

a) b can be in 7 places, but only one is the middle. So, P(A)=1/7

b) X=i, "b is in the i-th position"

Y=j, "c is in the j-th position"

$P(B)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}(P(X=i)\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}P(Y=j))=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}\frac{1}{7}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}\frac{1}{6})=\frac{1}{42}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}1)=\frac{6+5+4+3+2+1}{42}=\frac{1}{2}$

P(B)=1/2

c) X=i, "d is in the i-th position"

Y=j, "e is in the j-th position"

Z=k, "f is in the i-th position"

$P(C)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}( P(X=i)P(Y=i+1)P(Z=i+2))=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}(\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{5})=\frac{1}{210}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}(1)=\frac{1}{42}$

P(C)=1/42

P(A∩C)=2*(1/7*1/6*1/5*1/4)=1/420

$P(B\cap C)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{3} P(X=i)P(Y=i+1)P(Z=i+2)\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+3}^{6}P(V=j)P(W=j+1)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{3}\frac{1}{6}\frac{1}{7}\frac{1}{5}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=1+3}^{6}\frac{1}{4}\frac{1}{3})=1/420$

P(B∩A)=3*(1/7*1/6)=1/14

P(A|C)=P(A∩C)/P(C)=(1/420)/(1/42)=1/10

P(B|C)=P(B∩C)/P(C)=(1/420)/(1/42)=1/10

P(A|B)=P(B∩A)/P(B)=(1/14)/(1/2)=1/7

P(A∩B)=1/14

P(A)P(B)=(1/7)*(1/2)=1/14

A and B are independent

P(A∩C)=1/420

P(A)P(C)=(1/7)*(1/42)=1/294

A and C aren't independent

P(B∩C)=1/420

P(B)P(C)=(1/2)*(1/42)=1/84

B and C aren't independent
