On a class trip with 40 students, 14 are male. What percentage of the class is female?
66%
60%
65%
58%
Answer:
65%
Step-by-step explanation:
If 14 are male, then 26 are female.
To find the percent female, divide the number of females by the total.
26/40 = 0.65
So, the percentage of the class that is female is 65%
Answer:
C. 65%
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that of the 40 total students, 14 are male, which means the remaining students are female.
To find how many are female, we subtract 14 from 40:
40 - 14 = 26 females
Percentage is simply a part divided by a whole, multiplied by 100. Here, the "part" is the number of females, which is 26. The "whole" is the total number of students, which is 40. So, we have:
(26 / 40) * 100 = 65
The answer is thus C, 65%.

Answer:
174 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure given is a prism with isosceles trapezoid as base.
Its surface area can be calculating the area of each face that makes up the prism, and summing all together.
There are 6 faces. Their dimensions and areas can be calculated as follows:
2 isosceles trapezium:
It has 2 parallel bases, (a and b), of 4cm and 6cm,
Height (h) = 2.8cm
Area = ½(a+b)*h
Area = ½(4+6)*2.8
Area = ½(10)*2.8 = 5*2.8 = 14 cm²
4 rectangles of different dimensions:
Rectangle 1 (down face): l = 10cm, b = 4cm
Area = 10*4 = 40 cm²
Rectangle 2 and 3 (side faces): l = 10cm, b = 3cm
Area = 2(l*b) = 2(10*3) = 60cm²
Rectangle 4 (top face) = l = 10cm, b = 6cm
Area = 10*6 = 60cm²
Surface area of the figure = 14 + 40 + 60 + 60 = 174 cm²

Find the fourth roots of 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°).
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find roots of an equation, we use this formula:
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}(cos(\frac{\theta}{n}+\frac{2k\pi}{n} )+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{\theta}{n}+\frac{2k\pi}{n})),[/tex] where k = 0, 1, 2, 3... (n = root; equal to n - 1; dependent on the amount of roots needed - 0 is included).
In this case, n = 4.
Therefore, we adjust the polar equation we are given and modify it to be solved for the roots.
Part 2: Solving for root #1
To solve for root #1, make k = 0 and substitute all values into the equation. On the second step, convert the measure in degrees to the measure in radians by multiplying the degrees measurement by [tex]\frac{\pi}{180}[/tex] and simplify.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(0)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(0)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}} = 2(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))[/tex]
Root #1:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^\frac{1}{4}=2(cos(\frac{19\pi}{36}))+\mathfrack{i}(sin(\frac{19\pi}{38}))}[/tex]
Part 3: Solving for root #2
To solve for root #2, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 1.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(1)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(1)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{2\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{2\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{2}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{2}))\\[/tex]
Root #2:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{7\pi}{9}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{7\pi}{9}))}[/tex]
Part 4: Solving for root #3
To solve for root #3, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 2.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(2)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(2)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{4\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{4\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\pi))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\pi))\\[/tex]
Root #3:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{23\pi}{18}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{23\pi}{18}))}[/tex]
Part 4: Solving for root #4
To solve for root #4, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 3.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(3)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(3)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{6\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{6\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{3\pi}{2}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{3\pi}{2}))\\[/tex]
Root #4:
[tex]\large\boxed{z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{16\pi}{9}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{16\pi}{19}))}[/tex]

An online polling site posed this question: "How much stock do you put in long-range weather forecasts?" Among its Web site users, 38, 528 chose to respond Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a. Among the responses received, 3% answered with "a lot". What is the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot"?
b. Among the responses received, 18, 566 consisted of "very little or none". What percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none"?
c. Because the sample size of 38, 528 is so large, can we conclude that about 3% of the general population puts "a lot" of stock in long-range weather forecasts? Why or why not?
A. No, because the sample is a voluntary response sample, so the sample is not likely to be representative of the population.
B. Yes, because the sample is so large, the margin of error is negligible.
C. No, because even though the sample size is so large, there is still a margin of error.
D. Yes, because the sample size is large enough so that the sample is representative of the population.
Answer:
(a) 1155.84
(b) 48.2%
(c) D
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of total responses is, N = 38,528.
(a)
It is provided that 3% answered with "a lot".
Compute the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot" as follows:
n (a lot) = N × P (a lot)
= 38528 × 0.03
= 1155.84
Thus, the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot" is 1155.84.
(b)
The number of responses consisting of "very little or none" is,
n (very little or none) = 18,566
Compute the percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none" as follows:
[tex]P(\text{very little or none})=\frac{n(\text{very little or none})}{N}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{18566}{38528}\\\\=0.481883\\\\\approx 0.482[/tex]
The percentage is: 0.482 × 100% = 48.2%.
Thus, the percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none" is 48.2%.
(c)
As the sample size increases the sample statistic value gets closer and closer to the actual population parameter value.
Thus, making the sample statistic an unbiased estimator of the population parameter.
And proving that the sample is a true representative of the population.
Thus, the correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:
Carolyn and Paul are playing a game starting with a list of the integers $1$ to $n.$ The rules of the game are: $\bullet$ Carolyn always has the first turn. $\bullet$ Carolyn and Paul alternate turns. $\bullet$ On each of her turns, Carolyn must remove one number from the list such that this number has at least one positive divisor other than itself remaining in the list. $\bullet$ On each of his turns, Paul must remove from the list all of the positive divisors of the number that Carolyn has just removed. $\bullet$ If Carolyn cannot remove any more numbers, then Paul removes the rest of the numbers. For example, if $n=6,$ a possible sequence of moves is shown in this chart: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline Player & Removed \# & \# remaining \\ \hline Carolyn & 4 & 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 \\ \hline Paul & 1, 2 & 3, 5, 6 \\ \hline Carolyn & 6 & 3, 5 \\ \hline Paul & 3 & 5 \\ \hline Carolyn & None & 5 \\ \hline Paul & 5 & None \\ \hline \end{tabular} Note that Carolyn can't remove $3$ or $5$ on her second turn, and can't remove any number on her third turn. In this example, the sum of the numbers removed by Carolyn is $4+6=10$ and the sum of the numbers removed by Paul is $1+2+3+5=11.$ Suppose that $n=6$ and Carolyn removes the integer $2$ on her first turn. Determine the sum of the numbers that Carolyn removes.
Answer:
The sum of the numbers that Carolyn removes is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provided instruction for the game are:
Carolyn always has the first turn. Carolyn and Paul alternate turns.On each of her turns, Carolyn must remove one number from the list such that this number has at least one positive divisor other than itself remaining in the list.On each of his turns, Paul must remove from the list all of the positive divisors of the number that Carolyn has just removed.If Carolyn cannot remove any more numbers, then Paul removes the rest of the numbers.The value of n is supposed as 6.
And it is also provided that Carolyn removes the integer 2 on her first turn.
The table displaying the outcomes of the game are as follows:
Player Removed Remaining
Carolyn 2 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
Paul 1 3, 4, 5, 6
Carolyn 3 4, 5, 6
Paul 6 4, 5
Carolyn None 4, 5
Paul 4, 5 None
The sum of the numbers that Carolyn removes is:
S = 2 + 3 = 5
Thus, the sum of the numbers that Carolyn removes is 5.

Consider the following. x = t2 − 2t, y = t5, 1 ≤ t ≤ 4 Set up an integral that represents the length of the curve. 4 1 dt Use your calculator to find the length correct to four decimal places.
Answer:
L ≈ 1023.0562
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
x = t² - 2t
dx/dt = 2t - 2
Also, y = t^(5)
dy/dt = 5t⁴
The arc length formula is;
L = (α,β)∫√[(dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²]dt
Where α and β are the boundary points. Thus, applying this to our question, we have;
L = (1,4)∫√[(2t - 2)² + (5t⁴)²]dt
L = (1,4)∫√[4t² - 8t + 4 + 25t^(8)]dt
L = (1,4)∫√[25t^(8) + 4t² - 8t + 4]dt
Using online integral calculator, we have;
L ≈ 1023.0562
The length of the curve is 1023.0562 and this can be determined by doing the integration using the calculator.
Given :
[tex]\rm x = t^2-2t[/tex][tex]\rm y=t^5[/tex][tex]\rm 1\leq t\leq 4[/tex]First, differentiate x and y with respect to 't'.
[tex]\rm \dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t-2[/tex]
[tex]\rm \dfrac{dy}{dt}=5t^4[/tex]
Now, determine the length of the curve using the below formula:
[tex]\rm L = \int^b_a\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{dy}{dt}\right)^2} dt[/tex]
Now, substitute the value of the known terms in the above formula and then integrate it.
[tex]\rm L = \int^4_1\sqrt{(2t-2)^2+(5t^4)^2} dt[/tex]
[tex]\rm L = \int^4_1\sqrt{25t^8+4t^2-8t+4} \;dt[/tex]
Now, simplify the above integration using the calculator.

Step-by-step explanation:
The steps are;
1) We will verify that the population standard deviations are known and that the population is normally distributed which means the sample size must be a minimum of 30.
2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis
3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables
4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.
5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;
z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]
6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis
7) After rejection of the null hypothesis, we will now give a decision/conclusion on the claim.

A box of chocolates contains five milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and four white chocolates. You randomly select and eat three chocolates. The first piece is milk
chocolate, the second is white chocolate, and the third is milk chocolate. Find the probability of this occuring.
Answer:
60/220
Step-by-step explanation:
we use combination,
[tex] (\frac{5}{1} ) \times ( \frac{4}{1} ) \times ( \frac{3}{1} )[/tex]
[tex]5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60[/tex]
then, all divided by,
[tex] (\frac{12}{3}) = 220 [/tex]
[tex]60 \div 220[/tex]
The probability of the first piece being milk chocolate, the second being white chocolate, and the third being milk chocolate is 0.06.
What is Probability?The probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}[/tex]
The sample contains five milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and four white chocolates. Therefore, the probability that the first piece is milk chocolate is
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of Milk choclates}}{\text{Total number of choclates}}[/tex]
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{5}{12}[/tex]
Now, since the chocolate is been eaten the sample size will reduce from 12 chocolates in total to 11 chocolates in total (four milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and four white chocolates). Therefore, the probability of the second piece being white chocolate is
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of White choclates}}{\text{Total number of choclates}}[/tex]
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{4}{11}[/tex]
Now, as the chocolate is been eaten the sample size will reduce from 11 chocolates in total to 10 chocolates in total (four milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and three white chocolates). Therefore, the probability of the third piece being milk chocolate is
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of Milk choclates}}{\text{Total number of choclates}}[/tex]
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{4}{10}[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the first piece being milk chocolate, the second being white chocolate, and the third being milk chocolate is
[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{5}{12}\times \dfrac{4}{11} \times \dfrac{4}{10} = \dfrac{80}{1320} = 0.06[/tex]
Hence, the probability of the first piece being milk chocolate, the second being white chocolate, and the third being milk chocolate is 0.06.

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Which point is located at (5, –2)?
Explanation:
The origin is the center of the grid. This is where the x and y axis meet. The location of this point is (0,0).
Start at the origin and move 5 places to the right. Note how the x coordinate is 5 which tells us how to move left/right. Positive x values mean we go right.
Then we go down 2 spots to arrive at point D. We move down because the y coordinate is negative.
You could also start at (0,0) and go down 2 first, then to the right 5 to also arrive at point D. Convention usually has x going first as (x,y) has x listed first.
Answer:
Point D is located at (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates are in the form of (x,y) so that means the point has the x value of 5 and the y value of -2

A market survey shows that 50% of the population used Brand Z computers last year, 4% of the population quit their jobs last year, and 2% of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs. Are the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job independent
Answer:
the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job are independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that the population used Brand Z computers and let B be the event that the population quit their jobs.
We are told that 50% of the population used Brand Z computers last year. Thus, the probability of event A is;
P(A) = 50% = 0.5
Also, we are told that 4% of the population quit their jobs last year. Thus the probability of event B is;
P(B) = 4% = 0.04
Since 2% of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs. Then the probability of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs is;
P(A ∩ B) = 2% = 0.02
From the law of independent events, if A and B are to be independent events, then;
