raise the correct answer percentage to 90%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The contestant needs to answer the next 26 consecutive questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{37 + x}{44 + x} = \frac{9}{10} [/tex]

[tex]9(44 + x) = 10(37 + x)[/tex]

[tex]396 + 9x = 370 + 10x[/tex]

[tex]x = 26[/tex]

Answer 2

The contestant needs to answer the next 26 consecutive questions correctly.

What is proportion?

Proportion is an equation that defines that the two given ratios are equivalent to each other.

In other words, the proportion states the equality of the two fractions or the ratios.

In proportion, if two sets of given numbers are increasing or decreasing in the same ratio, then the ratios are said to be directly proportional to each other.

Given that, a game show contestant has answered 37 out of 44 trivia questions correctly so far.

We need to solve an equation given to find the number of consecutive questions the contestant needs to answer correctly,

So, the equation is,

37+x / 44 + x = 90/100

37+x / 44 + x = 9/10

10(37+x) = 9(44+x)

370+10x = 396+9x

x = 26

Hence, the contestant needs to answer the next 26 consecutive questions correctly.

Answers

An octagon is a polygon with 8 sides and angles. The two equal angles are 140 degrees each

How to calculate the sum of an interior angle of a polygon?

An octagon is a polygon with 8 sides and angles

The formula for calculating the sum of interior angle of a regular polygon is expressed as:

S = (n-2) * 180

If the sum of six interior angles of a regular octagon is 800 the other two angles are equal, then;

800 + 2x = (8-2)*180

800 + 2x = 1080
2x = 1080 - 800
2x = 280
x = 140

Answers

Answer:

c) 0.025

d) [tex]f(x)=2950000(0.975)^x[/tex]

e) 2,409,123

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a)

Exponential DECAY, since the population was decreasing annually.

Part (b)

Initial amount = 2,950,000 people (in the year 2000)

Part (c)

Decay factor = 2.5% = 0.025 (in decimal form)

Part (d)

General form of exponential decay function:

[tex]f(x)=a(1-r)^x[/tex]

where:

a = initial amountr = rate of decay (in decimal form)x = time (in years)

Given:

a = 2950000r = 0.025

[tex]\implies f(x)=2950000(1-0.025)^x[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=2950000(0.975)^x[/tex]

Part (e)

In order to solve this, you must use the distributive property.

Distributive property:

⇒ A(B+C)=AB+AC


⇒ 4(5t+1)

To find slope, you take [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

In this case

y2: 6

y1: 4

x2: -3

x1: 0

Now we plug in this information

[tex]\frac{6-4}{-3-0} \\\\\frac{2}{-3} \\\\-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The group wants to travel from its current location on the map to the South Pole, and then directly back to the base camp. How many miles will they have to travel? Explain your answer.​

Answers

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the group will have to travel 90 miles.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs [tex]l_1[/tex] and [tex]l_2[/tex] of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

[tex]h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2[/tex]

In this problem:

First, the group travels 5 x 5 = 25 miles to the south pole.Then, the distance to the camp is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 25 miles and of 12 x 5 = 60 miles, hence:

[tex]d^2 = 25^2 + 60^2[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{25^2 + 60^2}[/tex]

d = 65.

The total distance is given by:

Td = 25 + 65 = 90 miles.

the areaaaaaa

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown is a trapezoid

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2(bottom base length + top base length) × height

Bottom base length = 7 units

Top base length = 1 unit

Height = 4 units

So area = 1/2 ( 7 + 1 ) × 4

==> add 7 and 1

Area = 1/2 (8) × 4

==> multiply 1/2 and 8

Area = 4 × 4

==> multiply 4 and 4

Area = 16

The sampling strategy she use was a quota.

Quotas are meant to establish boundaries on the number of specific goods that are allowed to be lawfully imported into the country throughout a distinct period of time. In that, quotas are similar embargoes, except quotas don´t have explicit political purposes as embargoes do.

Approximate the probability that the company will have to pay at least $150,000 in benefits next year

Answers

The probability that the company will have to pay at least $150,000 in benefits next year is 0.047 if the there are 120 women.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

The probability of dying:

P(dying) = 1/150

P(living) = 1 - P(dying) = 1 - 1/150 = 140/150

There are 120 women.

P(x≥3) = 1 - [P(x=0) +P(x=1) + P(x=2)]

[tex]\rm P(x\geq 3)=1-[(120 \ choose \ 0)(1/150)^0)((149/150)^{120})+[/tex]

                  [tex]\rm (120 \ choose \ 2)((1/150)^2)((149/150)^{118})][/tex]

P(x≥3) = 0.047

Thus, the probability that the company will have to pay at least $150,000 in benefits next year is 0.047 if the there are 120 women.
