Subtract the new value from original value to find the difference:
35 - 28 = 7
Divide the difference by the original amount and multiply by 100:
7/35 = 0.2 x 100 = 20%
The decrease was 20%
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract the new value from the original value to find the difference between the two.
35 - 28 = 7
Next, divide the difference by the original amount.
7 / 35 = 0.2
Then, multiply by 100.
.2 x 100 = 20%
We now know that the decrease was 20%

In a 20 item true-false examination, if 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade,
what is the probability that someone will pass, if they are guessing?
A. .8398
B. .2517
C. .1201
D. .1317
Answer:
The answer is B, I know this because I just took a test with this question lol
If 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade on a 20-item true-false exam, the probability that someone will pass is 1/2 if they are guessing.
What is meant by probability?Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is a mathematical branch that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value ranges from zero to one. Probability has been introduced in mathematics to predict the likelihood of events occurring. Probability = the number of possible paths to success. The total number of possibilities For example, the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads is 12, because there is only one way to get a head and there are two possible outcomes.Therefore,
Let X denote the number of correctly answered questions out of a total of 20.
Bernoulli trails are formed by repeated coin tosses. Because the "head" on a coin represents the correct answer and the "tail" represents the incorrect answer, the questions that are correctly answered are Bernoulli trials.
[tex]$&\therefore \mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{2} \\[/tex]
[tex]&\therefore \mathrm{q}=1-\mathrm{p}=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
X follows a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p = 1/2
[tex]&\therefore P(X=x)={ }^n C_x q^{n-x} p^x \\[/tex]
[tex]&={ }^{20} C_x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20-x} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \\[/tex]
[tex]&={ }^{20} C_x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}[/tex]
P ( at least 12 questions answered correctly )= P (X ≥ 12)
[tex]&=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=12)+\mathrm{P}[/tex][tex](\mathrm{X}=13)+\ldots+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=20) \\[/tex]
[tex]&={ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{12}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}+{ }^{20}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{C}_{13}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20}+\ldots+{ }^{20}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{C}_{20}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20} \\[/tex]
[tex]&=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{20} \cdot\left[{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{12}+{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{13}+\ldots+{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{20}\right][/tex]
Hence, If 12 correct answers constitute a passing grade on a 20-item true-false exam, the probability that someone will pass is 1/2 if they are guessing.
The complete question is:
In an examination, 20 questions of true-false type are asked. Suppose a student tosses a fair coin to determine his answer to each question. If the coin falls heads, he answers 'true', if it falls tails, he answers 'false'. Find the probability that he answers at least 12 questions correctly.

Answers:
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = 6[/tex]
Based on the limit comparison test, the series is convergent
========================================================
Explanation:
As n gets really large, the terms [tex]3^n[/tex] and [tex]3^n-2[/tex] are effectively the same. Taking the limit to infinity of the ratio leads to 1.
In other words,
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n-2} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n} = 1[/tex]
That -2 doesn't really play a role when n gets very large.
This result is then multiplied by the 6 in the [tex]a_n[/tex] sequence, getting 6 as the final limit we want.
So,
[tex]L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(a_n \div b_n\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \div \frac{1}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \times \frac{3^n}{1}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6*3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\[/tex]
[tex]L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} (1)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*1\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6\\\\\\[/tex]
Since the limiting value is positive and not infinity, this means that both series [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converge or they both diverge.
----------------------------
If we plug n = 2 into the [tex]b_n[/tex] sequence, we get
[tex]b_n = \frac{1}{3^n}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{3^2}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]
The first term is a = 1/9
If we plugged n = 3, we would get [tex]b_3 = \frac{1}{27}[/tex]
This shows that the common ratio is r = 1/3
Because -1 < r < 1 is true, we know that the infinite geometric series converges. Therefore, [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converges. We don't need to find the converging value.
Going back to the limit comparison test, we stated that both [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] either diverge together or converge together.
We've shown that the b series converges, so the 'a' series must converge as well.

Ethan bought 4 packages of pencils. After he gave 8 pencils to his friends, he had 40 pencils
left over. How many pencils were in each package? Use the drop-down menus to solve the
problem arithmetically and algebraically.
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.

explain the relationship between a strategy such as number sense and a written method such as partial products or area models for multiplying decimal numbers
The relationship between strategy and written method in mathematics is that;
Strategies can be changed or modified whereas written methods cannot be changed or modified because they have standards upon which such methods are based.
In mathematics, strategies are defined as the different ways in which a problem can be approached. For example;A student wants to perform addition of 19 and 46.
He could add the number straight away by doing 19 + 46 = 65or he can
take away 1 from 46 to become 45 and add that 1 to 19 to become 20 and
then sum 45 and 20 together as 20 + 45 = 65.
So we can see that the two strategies used to add 19 and 46 gave the same result.
In contrast, when dealing with written methods like partial products one cannot use any other method apart from that stated in the written method.For example, we want to use partial products to multiply 13 x 52.
The solution would become (10 × 50) + (10 × 2) + (3 × 50) + (3 × 2) = 676.
In this method, there cannot be another way used as the standard for using partial products is written and fixed.

3.A normal bus carries x passengers.
A large bus will carry twice as many passengers than the normal bus
A small bus will carry 8 passengers less than the normal bus.
Altogether the buses carry 128 passengers.
(a) Form a simplified equation in terms of x
Answer: A) 4x -8 = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
We will represent the amount that the normal bus carries by n= x
We will represent the amount that the large bus carries by l = 2x
We will also represent the amount that the small bus carries by s = x-8
Now add them to equal to 128.
x + 2x + x -8 = 128
4x -8 = 128

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width. The area is 357 square centimeters.
Find the length and width of the rectangle
Answer:
17*21 = 357
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, set up your equation.
x*(x+4)=357
Multiply X by (x+4)
x^2+4x=357
You then subtract 357 from both sides
x^2+4x-357=0
