Using proportions, it is found that there is a 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount.

In this problem, the proportions associated with owning a cat are given by:

  • 70% of 60%(also have a dog).
  • 30% of 40%(do not have a dog).

Hence:

p = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.42 + 0.12 = 0.54.

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

Susie lost $15 on Monday. Her mom was upset, but gave her another $20. She lost another $13 today. Write an integer to represent
maria [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 13 +15 you get 28$ if we were to write that as an integer out of 20 it would be 28/20 but as an improper fraction, it would need to  be simplified into  1 and 8/20  ( 1  8/20)

If you are looking how much she lost out of the 20 she lost today it would be 13/20

Without further study, you forget things as time passes. A model of human memory gives the percentage, p, of acquired knowledge
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

42.69% of information is acquired by the student in two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

p = (100 -a)e^{-bt} + a

where a and b are constants.

a = 18\\b = 0.6

p tells us about the percentage of acquired knowledge that a person retains after t weeks.

We have to find the percentage of knowledge acquired in two week.

We put t = 2

p = (100 -18)e^{-(0.6)(2)} + 18\\p = 42.69

Thus, 42.69% of information is acquired by the student in two weeks.
