Complete question is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Percentile is 74th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

All the lengths given are;

Bear Lengths 36.5 37.5 39.5 40.5 41.5 42.5 43.0 46.0 46.5 46.5 48.5 48.5 48.5 49.5 51.5 52.5 53.0 53.0 54.5 56.8 57.5 58.5 58.5 58.5 59.0 60.5 60.5 61.0 61.0 61.5 62.0 62.5 63.5 63.5 63.5 64.0 64.0 64.5 64.5 65.5 66.5 67.0 67.5 69.0 69.5 70.5 72.0 72.5 72.5 72.5 72.5 73.0 76.0 77.5

The number of lengths (inches) of bears given are 54 in number.

We are looking for the percentile corresponding to 65.5 in.

Looking at the lengths given, since they are already arranged from smallest to highest, let's locate the position of 65.5 in.

The position of 65.5 in is the 40th among 54 lengths given.

If the percentile is P, then;

P% x 54 = 40

P = (40 × 100)/54

P ≈ 74

Carolyn is using the table to find 360% of 15. What values do X and Y represent in her table? Percent Total 100% 100% 100% 20% 2

asambeis [7]

Answer: c

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the percent breakdown of 360%.

100% 100% 100% 20%20%20%

15. 15. 15. 3. 3. 3.

100% is all of it, so 15. This is x.

20% of it would be calculated as 0.2 x 15 or 3. This is y.

Suppose you know that Mr. and Mrs. Vincent have at most eight children. One day you happen to meet two girls who were the Vincen

lianna [129]

Answer:

The number of children are 4 out of which 3 are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

P(Two randomly selected children are girls) = $\frac{1}{2}$

now,

let the number of children be 'n'

the number of girls be 'x'

thus,

P(Two randomly selected children are girls) = $\frac{^xC_2}{^nC_2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

also,

$^nC_r$ = $\frac{n!r!}{(n-r)!}$

thus,

$\frac{\frac{x!2!}{(x-2)!}}{\frac{n!2!}{(n-2)!}}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x(x-1)}{n(n-1)}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

2x(x-1) = n(n-1)

now

for x = 3 and n = 4

i.e

2(3)(3-1) = 4(4-1)

12 = 12

hence, the relation is justified

therefore,

The number of children are 4 out of which 3 are girls

Robin was just hired at Groceries & More as a cashier. She is paid $9 an hour. She works 30 hours a week and is going to sav

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 9 an hr for 30 hrs.....(9 * 30) = $270

they deduct $ 27 from her weekly check

so she clears (270 - 27) = $ 243 per week

she wants to get to $ 1200...

1200 / 243 = 4.94 weeks......we are gonna have to round up to 5 weeks because 4 weeks is just a little short.

The sum of Jim's weight and Bob's weight is 180 pounds. If you subtract Jim's weight from Bob's weight, you get half of Bob's we

Furkat [3]

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use systems of equations to solve this problem. Assuming j is Jim's weight and b is Bob's weight, the equations are:

j + b = 180

b - j = 1/2b

Let's get b - j = 1/2b into standard form (b, then j, then the equal sign, then the constant.)

$b - j = \frac{b}{2}\\\frac{b}{2} - j = 0$

Now we can solve using the process of elimination.

$b + j = 180\\\\\frac{b}{2} - j = 0\\\\b + \frac{b}{2} = 180\\\\b + b \cdot 2 = 180\cdot 2\\3b = 360\\b = 120$

Now we know how much Bob weighs, for fun, let's find Jim's weight by substituting into the equation.

$120 + j = 180\\j = 180-120\\j = 60$

So Bob weighs 120 pounds and Jim weight 60 pounds.

Hope this helped!
