<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The entry in the graph are :

humor- 13 out of 25

nonfiction- 8 out of 25

mystery- 15 out of 25

romance- 6 out of 25

adventure- 13 out of 25

i.e. the probability of choosing humor books= 13/25

and the probability of choosing non-fiction= 8/25

Now there are a total of 605 students enrolled at the school.

Hence, the number of students preferring <u>humor books </u>is:

$\dfrac{13}{25}\times 605\\\\=314.6$

<em>which is approximately equal to 315 students</em>

and the number of students preferring <u>non-fiction</u> is:

$\dfrac{8}{25}\times 605\\\\=193.6$

<em>which is approximately equal to 194 students</em>

There are 11 portable mini suites (a.k.a. cages) in a row at the Paws and Claws Holiday Pet Resort. They are neatly labeled with

BigorU [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 7!

If there are no restrictions, answer is 7! as it is the permutation of all animals.

b) 4! x 3!

As cats are 6 and Dogs are 5, thus 1st and last must be cats in order to have alternate arrangements. Therefore the only choices are the order of the cats among themselves and the order of the dogs among themselves. There are 4! permutations of the cats and 3! permutations of the dogs, so there are a total of 4! x 3! possible arrangements of the suites.

c) 3! x 5!

There are 3! possible arrangements of the dogs among themselves. Now, if we consider the dogs as one ”object” together, then we can think of arranging the 4 cats together with this 1 additional object. There are 5! such arrangements possible, so there are a total of 3! · 5! possible arrangements of the suites.

d) 2 x 4! x 3!

As required that all the cats must be together and all the dogs must be together, either the cats are all before the dogs or the dogs are all before the cats. There are two possible arrangements thus two times of both possibilities is the answer i.e. 2 x 4! x 3!

To make a profit, a clothing store sells jeans at 115% the amount they paid for them. How much did the store pay for the jeans s

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount the clothing store pay for Jean be X

Let the amount the clothing store sells Jean be Y = X ×1.15

The profit (P) made is the difference between amount the clothing store sells Jean and the amount paid for Jean = Y - X = 1.15X - X

Profit (P) = 0.15X

X = P/0.15 = 6.67P

Therefore, the store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

Temka [501]

The confidence interval would be (0.122, 0.278).

We first find our z-score. We want a 95% confidence interval:

0.95/2 = 0.475

Looking this up in the z-table, (http://www.statisticshowto.com/tables/z-table/) we see the z-score is 1.96.

The formula we will use is:

$p \pm z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this problem, p = 20/100 = 0.2, and n=100:

$0.2 \pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{(0.2)(0.8)}{100}}
\\
\\0.2\pm 0.0784
