0.6%. 100% divided by 2,500 people means each person is worth 0.04%. 0.04 times 15 is 0.6

Answer:

0.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosmetic company tested a new lotion on 2500 people.

Number of people had the allergic reaction = 15

so percentage of allergic patients = \frac{\text{number of allergic people}}{\text{total people taken for test}}\times 100

= \frac{15}{2500}\times 100

= \frac{15}{25} = 0.6%

percentage of the people is 0.6%

Can anyone please help me with this question? : A target consists of two concentric circles. The larger circle has diameter 1m.
11111nata11111 [884]
We know that
if  <span>the probability of hitting the blue circle is the same as the probability of hitting the green region
then 
the area of the blue circle is equal to the area of the green region

Let
x----> diameter of the blue circle

area of the blue circle=pi*(x/2)</span>²----> (pi/4)*x² m²-----> equation 1

area of the green region=area of the larger circle-area of the blue circle
area of the green region=pi*(1/2)²-(pi/4)*x²
=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² m²----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
(pi/4)*x²=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² -----> divide by (pi/4)---> x²=1-x²
2x²=1-----> x²=1/2----> x=1/√2-----> x=√2/2 m

the diameter of the blue circle is √2/2 m

Biologists stocked a lake with 240 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

2.30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of fish tripled in the first year, making a total of 240 * 3 = 720 fishes.

(a) The formula for logistic equation is as the following

P = P_0e^{kt}

where P0 = 240 is the number of fishes initially, we can plug in P = 720 and t = 1 to calculate the constant k

720 = 240e^{1k}

e^k = 3

k = ln3 = 1.1

b) Using the following formula

P = P_0e^{kt}

with P = 3000, P0 = 240, k = 1.1, we can calculate the number of years it takes to get to 3000 fishes

3000 = 240e^{1.1t}

12.5 = e^{1.1t}

1.1t = ln12.5 = 2.53

t = 2.30 years

Jacy has $1,000 to invest in either a fund that pays approximately 4.6% per year or in a savings account with an annual interest
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

S(x) = 0.046x + 0.018(1000-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • A fund rate: 4.6% = 0.046
  • Saving account rate:  1.8% = 0.018

Let x is the amount Jacy invest in the fund so (1000-x) is the amount he invests in the  savings account​

So a polynomial  function S(x) to represent the interest Jacy will earn in 1 year is:

S(x) = 0.046x + 0.018(1000-x)

Hope it will find you well.

Bella bought 3.2 meters of ribbon to decorate her pencil case. each meter cost $0.46. how much did the ribbon cost?
zlopas [31]

we know that

Each meter of ribbon cost \$0.46  

so

by proportion

Find the cost of 3.2 meters of ribbon

\frac{0.46}{1} \frac{\$}{meter} =\frac{x}{3.2} \frac{\$}{meter} \\ \\x=3.2*0.46 \\ \\x=\$1.472

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The ribbon cost \$1.472
