Answer: 74.93

Step-by-step explanation: if you heard of the line equals line method this should be able to help you.

299.75 25%

---------------=------------------

$1199 100%

so you cross multiply 1199 and 25 and then divide it by 100. which would be 299.75 that is the price per 1 year then you divide that value by 4 and that will be your answer.

299.75 divided by 4= 74.93

Rewrite in simplest radical form x 5/6 x 1/6

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}} = \sqrt[3]{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}}$

Required

Rewrite in simplest radical form

Using laws of indices:

$a^m/a^n = a^{m-n}$

This implies that

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}} = x^{\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6}}$

Solve Exponents

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}} = x^{\frac{5 - 1}{6} }$

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}} = x^{\frac{4}{6} }$

Simplify exponent to lowest fraction

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}} = x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

Using laws of indices:

$a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$

This implies that

$x^{\frac{5}{6}}/x^{\frac{1}{6}} = \sqrt[3]{x^2}$

This is as far as the expression can be simplified

Freddie put an empty bucket underneath a leaking pipe. After 3/4 hours, Freddie collected 1/2 cups of water. What is the rate, i

lidiya [134]

0.35 cups/hour

To be able to determine the rate at which the water is leaking from the pipe with the information given, you have to divide the number of cups by the number of hours in which they were collected:
12 cups/34 hours= 0.35 cups/hour
According to this, the answer is that the rate at which the water is leaking from the pipe is 0.35 cups/hour.

Hope this helps!!

A lumber yard has a scrap sheet of plywood that is 23 3/4 inches by 41 1/5 inches long what is the area of the plywood?

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$978\frac{1}{2}\text{ inches}^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a lumber yard has a scrap sheet of plywood that is 23 3/4 inches by 41 1/5 inches long.

Since plywood is in shape of rectangle, so to find the area of plywood we will multiply the length of plywood by its width.

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Length*Width}$

$\text{Area of plywood}=23\frac{3}{4}\text{ inches}\times 41\frac{1}{5}\text{ inches}$

Let us convert our mixed fractions into improper fractions.

$\text{Area of plywood}=\frac{95}{4}\text{ inches}\times \frac{206}{5}\text{ inches}$

$\text{Area of plywood}=\frac{95}{4}\times \frac{206}{5}\text{ inches}\times \text{inches}$

Upon cancelling out greatest common factors we will get,

$\text{Area of plywood}=\frac{19}{2}\times 103\text{ inches}^2$

$\text{Area of plywood}=\frac{1957}{2}\text{ inches}^2$

Now let us convert our answer into mixed fraction.

$\text{Area of plywood}=978\frac{1}{2}\text{ inches}^2$

Therefore, the area of plywood is $978\frac{1}{2}\text{ inches}^2$ .

A supervised learning model has been built to predict whether someone is infected with a new strain of a virus. The probability

larisa [96]

Answer:

A baseline score of 99% needs to be set.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an example of a classification problem (the classes being whether somebody has been infected with a new virus or not), the ideal score to achieve in such a case is 100%. Hence, a baseline score of 99% should be set in order to get to 100% by outperforming it.

The Office of Student Services at UNC would like to estimate the proportion of UNC's 34,000 students who are foreign students. I

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Mean is 3.05

Standard deviation is 1.69.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are foreign, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The probability of x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

In this problem, we have a sample of 50 students, so $n = 50$ . The proportion of all UNC students that are foreign students is 0.061, so $p = 0.061$ .

The mean is given by the following formula:

$E(X) = np = 50*0.061 = 3.05$

The standard deviation is given by the following formula:

$\sigma = \sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.061*(1-0.061))} = 1.69$
