Answer:

18 students are likely to be wearing red

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know a student either wears red , or blue, with the probability of a student wearing red is 3 times more probable than wearing white.

So, let’s say out of the 24 students, x of them are wearing white. What this practically mean is that 3 * x = 3x of the students would be expected to be wearing red.

Now, adding the number of people wearing red and white together in terms of x, we have x + 3x = 4x

We equate this to 24; 4x = 24 and x = 24/4; x = 6

The number wearing red probably is 3 * x = 3 * 6 = 18 people

In the xy plane, a quadrilateral has vertices at (-1, 4), (7,4), (7,5), and (-1. 5). What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(B) 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the perimeter of a quadrilateral with vertices at (-1, 4), (7,4), (7,5), and (-1. 5).

First of all, we will draw vertices of quadrilateral on coordinate plane and connect the vertices as shown in the attached photo.

We can see that our quadrilateral is a parallelogram, whose parallel sides are equal.

\text{Perimeter of quadrilateral}=8+1+8+1

\text{Perimeter of quadrilateral}=16+2

\text{Perimeter of quadrilateral}=18

Therefore, the perimeter of the given quadrilateral is 18 units.

The percentage of U.S. college freshmen claiming no religious affiliation has risen in recent decades. The bar graph shows the
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

0.5%/year

24.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation

Percentage of females by year:

1980 = 6.2%

1990 = 10.8%

2000 = 13.6%

2012 = 21.7%

Average yearly increase :

Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :

2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years

15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year

b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,

Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year

(2030 - 1980) = 50 years

Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.

=24.2% (nearest tenth)

Divide the APR by 360 days and multiply it by 30 days to get the monthly interest. Each loan is usually secured by the car you bought. So we will use the secured APR.

8. Average rating secured apr: 5.85% divide by 360 multiply by 30:  0.4875% monthly rate
Cost of car: 19,725 ; sales tax: 4.75% ; down payment: 2,175

19,725 x 1.0475 =  20,661.94 - 2,175 = 18,486.94 loan amount
18,486.94 x 0.4875% = 90.12 accrued interest for the 1st month.

9. Excellent rating secured apr: 4.80% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.40% monthly rate
Cost of car: 15,867 ; sales tax: 5.25% ; down payment: 10% of total cost

15,867 x 1.0525 =  16,700.02 x 90% = 15,030.02 the principal balance at the start of the loan.

10. Fair rating secured apr: 7% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.5833% monthly rate
Cost of new car: 19,072 ; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200
Cost of used car: 15,365; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200

19,072 x 1.045 = 19,930.24 - 1,200 = 18,730.24
18,730.24 x 0.5833% = 109.25 accrued interest

15,365 x 1.045 = 16,056.43 - 1,200 = 14,856.43
14,856.43 x 0.5833% = 86.66 accrued interest

109.25 - 86.66 = 22.59 is the difference in interest accrued by the end of the first month.

Jalen randomly chooses a number from 1 - 10 . What Is the probability he chooses a number greater than 3?
RUDIKE [14]

The answer will be D. 7/10 because you have 10 numbers and you want to have a number greater than 3 so it would be 10-3=7 and 7 would go over 10 because there are 7 numbers greater than 3 but less than 10.
