The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. Together they
NARA [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. This means that

Number of workers employed by The recycling and reuse industry = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry + 1,025,000

Let y = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry. Therefore

x = y + 1,025,000 - - - - - - 1

Since total = 1,275,000

x + y = 1,275,000 - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

y + 1,025,000 + y = 1,275,000

2y = 1,275,000 - 1,025,000

y = 250000/2 = 125000

x = y + 1,025,000 = 125000 + 1,025,000 = 1150000

The recycling and reuse industry employs 1150000 workers

The waste management industry employs 125000 workers

If ac =14 find the value of x then find ab and bc
Igoryamba

Answer:

If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AC =14AC=14

Required

Determine x, AB and BC.

Since B is between A and C;

AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC

Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC

x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14

3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

Collect Like Terms

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2

3x = 123x=12 '

x = \frac{12}{3}x=

3

12

x = 4x=4

Substitute 4 for x in

AB = xAB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AB = 4AB=4

BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2

BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2

BC = 10BC=10

Marlon asks a friend to think of a number from 5-11. What is the probability that marlins friend will think of the number 9
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

14.29% probability that Marlon's friend will think of the number 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have that:

There are 7 numbers from 5 to 11(5,6,7,8,9,10,11)

9 is one of them

So

p = \frac{1}{7} = 0.1429

14.29% probability that Marlon's friend will think of the number 9

The probability that an Oxnard University student is carrying a backpack is .70. If 10 students are observed at random, what is
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

35.03% probability that fewer than 7 will be carrying backpacks

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are carrying a backpack, or they are not. The probability of a student carrying a backpack is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that an Oxnard University student is carrying a backpack is .70.

This means that p = 0.7

If 10 students are observed at random, what is the probability that fewer than 7 will be carrying backpacks

This is P(X < 7) when n = 10. So

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.000006

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.7)^{1}.(0.3)^{9} = 0.0001

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.7)^{2}.(0.3)^{8} = 0.0014

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{7} = 0.0090

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{6} = 0.0368

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.1029

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.2001

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.000006 + 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0090 + 0.0368 + 0.1029 + 0.2001 = 0.3503

35.03% probability that fewer than 7 will be carrying backpacks

a shopkeeper bought a dress for 750 and sold it ,making a loss of 50 .calculate the percentage loss made on the sale​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

<u><em>He made a loss of 6.67%</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss percentage =  \frac{Loss}{Cost price} * 100

Loss = 50

Cost price = 750

Hence, Loss percentage=

\frac{50}{750} *100

=\frac{20}{3} = 6.66 %

He made a loss of 6.6666%.

This amount can be rounded up to 6.67%

<em>Hope this helps.</em>
