Answer:

Percent form: 41.65%

Fraction form: $\frac{833}{2000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

33% of men support John Smith.

67% of women support John Smith.

Lets say, for instance, that there are 20 polled individuals -- 10 women and 10 men.

However, since 1.5 times as many men voted as women, we have to apply our poll to 15 men and 5 women.

33% of the 15 men makes 5 men who voted for Smith and 10 who did not.

67% of the 5 women makes 3.33 women who voted for Smith and 1.67 who did not.

Add these numbers together.

8.33 total voters were cast for John Smith, while 11.67 were not.

Now, divide 8.33 by 20 and multiply by 100 to obtain a percentage.

$\frac{8.33}{20} \\.4165\\41.65$

41.65% of voters voted for John Smith according to the results of the poll.

Your utility company charges 11 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. What is the dail

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. 9.9 cents

b. 26.5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing they mention to us is the cost of energy 11 cents / kwh

a) In the first point they ask us to calculate the daily cost of keeping the flashlight on for 12 hours, they tell us that it consumes 75 watts per hour, but this value must be passed to kW because the cost is given in kWh

to pass it, it would be: 75 watt * 1 kw / 1000 watt = 0.075 kw,

the formula to apply would be like this:

Daily cost = flashlight cost * time * energy cost

we all know them so we replace:

Daily cost = 0.075 kw * 12 h * 11 cents / kwh = 9.9 cents

b) Now, to know the annual savings, we must calculate the difference between the expense of the normal flashlight and the LED, let's calculate the daily cost of the LED, like this:

20 watt * 1 kw / 1000 watt = 0.02 kw

Daily cost = 0.02 kw * 12 h * 11 cents / kwh = 2.64 cents

Now by calculating the difference we multiply by 365 which are the days of a year.

Savings / year = (9.9 - 2.64) * 365 = 2649.9 cents = 26.5 dollars.

Suppose a term of a geometric sequence is a4 = 121.5 and the common ratio is 3. write the formula for this sequence in the form

9966 [12]

The rule of the geometric sequence is $a* r^{n-1}$
a ⇒⇒⇒ the first term
r ⇒⇒⇒ common ratio

Given: the fourth term (a4) = 121.5 and the common ratio = 3 and n = 4

∴ $121.5 = a* 3^{4-1}$
∴ a = 121.5/3³ = 121.5/27 = 4.5

So, The formula for this sequence will be $4.5 * 3^{n-1}$

An albatross is a large bird that can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed. Using d for distance in kilometers and

uranmaximum [27]

We are given relation between distance( in kilometers) travelled and number of hours taken by an Albatross bird.

Distance in kilometers taken by variable d.

Number of hours by t.

And situation is given d=50t.

We know, direct relation formula y= kx read as y is directly proportional to x. And k is the constants of proportionality.

In the given fuction y is taken by variable d and x is taken by variable t.

If we compare d=50t by y = mx, the value of k is 50.

Therefore, constant of proportionality is 50.

Constant is a number that never change it's value.

Therefore, constant of proportionality is just 50.

But we can say variables d and t are two variables those are directly proportional to each other.

Constant of proportionality is actually unit rate of change.

For the given situation constant of proportionality is the number of km travelled in per unit time (in 1 hour.)

If we divide 400km 8 hours, we get 400/8 = 50 km per hour.

Therefore, variables of proporation are d and t and relation between them is " they are directly proportional to each other".

And the constants of proportionality is just 50.

6.5% of people in the U.S. Have A- blood type. You randomly select 6 Americans and ask them if their blood type is A-. a) Find t

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) 7.54189*10^-8

b) 0.99999999

c) E ( X ) = 0.39 , s ( X ) = 0.604

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We will assume the proportion of people with A- blood group is independent and remains constant for a fairly small sample of n = 6 Americans selected at random.

- We will denote a random variable X = The number of americans out of 6 that have blood group type A-.

- The random variable is assumed to follow binomial distribution.

- The probability of success is the proportion of people in U.S that have blood group type A-, p = 0.065:

X ~ Bin ( 6 , 0.065 )

Where, r represents the number of americans out of selected 6 have blood group A-. The pmf of a binomial variate is given as:

P ( X = r ) = nCr * ( p ) ^r * ( 1 - p ) ^ ( n - r )

a) Find the probability that all 6 are type A-

- We will pmf given above and set r = 6. And evaluate the resulting probability:

P ( X = 6 ) = 6C6 * ( p )^6 * ( 1 - p ) ^ ( 0 )

= p^6

= ( 0.065 )^6

= 7.54189*10^-8

b) Find the probability that at most 4 of them are type A-

- We will pmf given above and evaluate the following expression:

P ( X ≤ 4 ) = 1 - P ( X = 5 ) - P ( X = 6 )

P ( X ≤ 4 ) = 1 - 6C5 * ( p )^5 * ( 1 - p ) ^ ( 1 ) - p^6

= 1 - 6*(0.065)^5 ( 0.935 ) - 0.065^6

= 1 - 6.50923*10^-8 - 7.54189*10^-8

= 0.99999999

c) Find the mean and standard deviation.

- The mean E ( X ) of the defined random variable distributed binomially is given by:

E ( X ) = n*p = 6*0.065 = 0.39 people

- The mean s( X ) of the defined random variable distributed binomially is given by:

s ( X ) = √n*p*q = √(6*0.065*0.935) = 0.604
