there are 80 students in class among them 25 are girls and remaining are boys 10 foreigners and remaining are neplese. If 62.5% of them are nepalese boys, what is the probability of selecting foreign girl?
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 80 students.
25 are girls and 55 are boys.
10 are foreigners and 70 are Nepalese.
62.5% are Nepalese boys.
This means that the number of Nepalese boys is:
62.5/100 * 80 = 50
There are 50 nepalese boys and so there are 20 nepalese girls.
The probability of selecting a Nepalese girl is therefore:
20 / 80 = 1/4
g The equation for the change of position of a train starting at x = 0 m is given by The dimensions of b are Select one: a. L-1T-1 b. LT-1 c. T-3 d. LT-2 e. LT-3
Answer:
B. LT⁻¹Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question,
The equation for the change of position of a train starting at x = 0 m is given by x =(1/2)at² + bt³. The dimensions of b are__
from the equation of motion given, the constant b is the velocity of the body. For us to get the dimension of b, we have to find the dimension of the velocity .
Since velocity is the rate of change of displacement of a body, then;
VELOCITY = DISPLACEMENT/TIME
displacement is measured in metres while time in seconds.
expressing the formula in terms of its fundamental unit,
v = metre/secs
Since the fundamental quantity of the metre is length (L) and that of seconds is the time (T); the dimensions is expressed as;
V = L/T
V = L * 1/T
V = L * T⁻¹
V = LT⁻¹
Hence the dimension of b is LT⁻¹.
Note that the dimension of a body is written in terms of its fundamental quantities.
The dimensions of b from the given equation are; B: LT⁻¹
Dimensional Analysis
The complete question is;
The equation for the change of position of a train starting at x = 0 m is given by x =(1/2)at² + bt³. The dimensions of b are__
Now, in that equation above, b represents the velocity of the motion. Now, the formula for velocity is;
Velocity = Distance/Time
Now, distance is also called Length and represented by L in basic parameters units while Time is represented by T.
Thus, the dimensions of b are; L/T or expressed as LT⁻¹

how many ounces of 7% acid solution and how many ounces of a 23% acid solution must be mixed to obtain 20 oz of a 17% acid solution?
Answer: 7.5 ounces of 7% acid solution is mixed with 12.5 ounces of 23% acid solution to obtain 20 oz of a 17% acid solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Ounces of 7% acid solution
y= Ounces of 23% acid solution
According to the question , we have two linear equations:
x+y=20
i.e. y=20-x ...(i)
0.07 x+ 0.23y =0.17 (20)
i.e. 0.07x+0.23y= 3.4 ...(ii)
Substitute value of y from (i) in (ii) , we get
0.07x+0.23(20-x)= 3.4
⇒ 0.07x+4.6-0.23x=3.4 [distributive property]
⇒ 0.07x-0.23x=3.4-4.6 [subtract 4.6 from both sides]
⇒ -0.16x=-1.2
⇒ x = 7.5 [divide both sides by-0.16]
put value of x in (i) , we get y= 20-7.5 =12.5
Hence, 7.5 ounces of 7% acid solution is mixed with 12.5 ounces of 23% acid solution to obtain 20 oz of a 17% acid solution.

Find the rate of change of total revenue, cost, and profit with respect to time. Assume that R(x) and C(x) are in dollars. R(x)equals60 x minus 0.5 x squared, C(x)equals3 x plus 5, when xequals40 and dx divided by dtequals15 units per day
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the Revenue in dollars modelled by the function R(x) = 60x-0.5x²
Cost in dollars C(x) = 3x+5
Profit function = Revenue - Cost
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 60x-0.5x²-(3x+5)
P(x) = 60x-0.5x²-3x-5
P(x) = -0.5x²+57x-5
The rate of change of total revenue = dR(x)/dt
dR(x)/dt = dR(x)/dx * dx/dt
dR(x)/dx = 60-2(0.5)x²⁻¹
dR(x)/dx = 60-x
Given x = 40 and dr/dx = 15 units per day
dR(x)/dt = (60-x)dx/dt
dR(x)/dt = (60-40)*15
dR(x)/dt = 20*15
dR(x)/dt = 300dollars
Rate of change of revenue = 300dollars
For the rate of change of cost;
dC(x)/dt = dC(x)/dx * dx/dt
dC(x)/dt = 3dx/dt
dC(x)/dt when dx/dt = 15 will give;
dC(x)/dt = 3*15
dC(x)/dt = 45 dollars.
Rate of change of revenue = 45dollars
For the profit;
Profit = Rate of change of revenue - rate of change of cost
Profit made = 300-45
profit made = 255 dollars

Mi mamá me dió $ 10
Mi papá me dió $ 30
Mi tío y mi tía me dieron $ 100
Yo TENÍA otros $ 20

What is the radius of a circle given by the equation x2 + y2 – 2x + 8y – 47= 0? radius = units
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to rewrite an equation in the standard for a circle form.
r is radius.
(x−h)²+(y−k)²= r²
x² + y² – 2x + 8y – 47= 0
x² - 2x + y² + 8y - 47 = 0
x² - 2*x *1+ 1 ²- 1² + y² + 2*4*y + 4² - 4² - 47 = 0
(x - 1)² + (y + 4)² - 1 - 16 -47 =0
(x - 1)² + (y + 4)² - 64=0
(x - 1)² + (y + 4)² = 8²
Radius is 8.
The radius of the circle is 8 units
What is radius?The radius of a circle is a line drawn from the center to the circumference of the circle
The equation of the circle is given as;
[tex]x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0[/tex]
Rewrite the equation as:
[tex]x^2 - 2x + y^2 + 8y = 47[/tex]
Next, we rewrite the equation in the standard form
So, we have:
x^2 - 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 + y^2 + 8y + 4^2 - 4^2 = 47
Evaluate the exponents
x^2 - 2x + 1 - 1 + y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16 = 47
Rewrite the equation as follows:
x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 + 8y + 16 = 47 + 1 + 16
Express as perfect squares
(x - 1)² + (y + 4)² = 64
(x - 1)² + (y + 4)² = 8^2
The radius of the circle is calculated as:
r^2 = 8^2
By comparison, we have:
r = 8
Hence, the radius of the circle is 8 units

P(between 25.5 and 27) = 0.1875
Write a short statement that expresses a possible function between the given variables. (price of a DVD player, demand f for DVD player)
Answer:
The relation PriceVSDemand usually is an inverse relationship.
This means that, as the price of the object increases, the demand will decrease.
An inverse relationship is:
D = k/P
Where D is the demand, P is the price and K is a constant that depends on the situation.
Of course this relationship also can be something like:
D = k/P^n
With n ≥ 1.
If n = 1 we have the same as above, and if n > 1, the demand decreases faster as the price increases.
If

12 + 4 = 16
Suppose that prices of a certain model of new homes are normally distributed with a mean of $150,000. Find the percentage of buyers who paid:
between $150,000 and $152,400 if the standard deviation is $1200.
Answer:
The percentage is [tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = 47.7 \%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = \$ 150000[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ 1200[/tex]
The prices we are considering is [tex]x_1 = \$150000 \to \ x_2 = \$ 152400[/tex]
Given that the price is normally distributed , the percentage the percentage of buyers who paid between $150,000 and $152,400 is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu}{\sigma } < \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } < \frac{x_2 - \mu}{\sigma })[/tex]
So [tex]\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }[/tex] is equal to z (the standardized value of X )
So
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu}{\sigma } <Z < \frac{x_2 - \mu}{\sigma })[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{150000 - 150000}{1200 } <Z < \frac{152400 - 150000}{1200 })[/tex]
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = P(0<Z < 2)[/tex]
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = P( Z < 2) - P( Z < 0 )[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table [tex]P(Z < 2 ) = 0.97725[/tex] and
[tex]P(Z < 0) = 0.5[/tex]
So
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.97725 - 0.5[/tex]
[tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.47725[/tex]
The percentage is [tex]P(x_1 < X < x_2) = 47.7 \%[/tex]
17. An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 40 hours. How large a sample is need it if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean
Answer:
A sample of at least 541 is needed if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that an electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 40 hours.
We have to find a sample such that we are 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.
As we know that the Margin of error formula is given by;
The margin of error = [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
where, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 40 hours
n = sample size
[tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02 or 2%
Now, the critical value of z at ([tex]\frac{0.02}{2}[/tex] = 1%) level of significance n the z table is given as 2.3263.
So, the margin of error = [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
[tex]4=2.3263 \times \frac{40}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n}= \frac{40 \times 2.3263}{ 4}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n}=23.26[/tex]
n = [tex]23.26^{2}[/tex] = 541.03 ≈ 541
Hence, a sample of at least 541 is needed if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.
