According to an April 2019 report by the Cruise Lines International Association, in 2018 28.5 million people went on cruises, and this accounted for 2% of international travelers. How many people traveled internationally in 2018? Write your answer in millions of people.

Answers

Answer:

Total people international traveler on cruises = 1,425 million people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total people international traveler on cruises = 28.5 million

Percentage of international traveler = 2%

Find:

Total people international traveler on cruises

Computation:

Total people international traveler on cruises = 28.5 million × [100/2]%

Total people international traveler on cruises = 1,425 million people

The number of international travelers in 2018 was 570000.

Percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. One percent is a hundredth part.

Given that in 2018 28.5 million people went on cruises, and this accounted for 2% of international travelers.

Number of international travelers = 2% of 28.5 million = 0.02 * 28.5 million = 570000

The number of international travelers in 2018 was 570000.

You meet with the financial aid office to discuss your costs for attending MGA next semester. Tuition is
$113.67 per credit hour, and fees are a flat cost of $660. You have a grant of $350 and a scholarship of
$400. If you are taking 15 credit hours, what amount will you need to pay for your classes next
semester?​

Answers

Answer:

$1615.05

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to determine the total cost for taking 15 credit hours:

Total cost=660+(113.67*15)

Total cost=$2,365.05

Now, you can subtract from that the amount of the grant and the scholarship you receive:

$2,365.05-$350-$400=$1615.05

According to this, the answer is that if you are taking 15 credit hours, you will need to pay $1615.05 for your classes next semester.

Answer: balance is -44 dollars

This indicates he owes 44 dollars

=======================================================

Explanation:

21 + (-30) = -9 is the balance if we don't account for the overdraft fee

If we do account for the overdraft fee, then -9 + (-35) = -44 is the bank balance.

Note how I'm using negative values to indicate balances in which Nick owes money, rather than it's the amount of money he has. So he owes the bank $44.

------------

A slightly different way to get the answer is to say

21-30 = -9

-9-35 = -44

This is because adding a negative is the same as subtraction.

An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle. A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the infestation and found that 127 trees were affected.
z = p - p/underroot pq/n
Using the formula and data provided, what is the value of the z-test statistic?

Answers

Answer:

0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for z test is given above as:

z = p' - p/√(pq/n)

p' = sample proportion

= Number of infested samples(trees)/ Number of samples

p' = 127/1000 = 0.127

p = 12% = 0.12

q= 1 - 0.12 = 0.88

n = number of samples = 1000

z = 0.127 - 0.12/√(0.88 × 0.12/1000)

z = 0.007/√0.0001056

z = 0.007 /0.0102761861

z = 0.6811865737

Therefore, the z test statistic is approximately ≈ 0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

(a) y = tan(5t)

[tex](b) \ y = \frac{5-v^2}{5+v^2}[/tex]

Solving for (a)

y = tan(5t)

let u = 5t

du/dt = 5

dy/du = sec²u

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{dy}{du} *\frac{du}{dt} \\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = sec^2(u)*5\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 5sec^2(u)\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 5sec^2(5t)[/tex]

[tex]dy = 5sec^2(5t) \ dt[/tex]

Solving for b;

What is the length of the line segment with endpoints (11, −4) and (−12, −4

Answers

Answer:

23 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula: d = [tex]\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}[/tex]

Plug in the 2 points:

d = [tex]\sqrt{(-12 - 11)^2 + (-4 + 4)^2}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{529}[/tex]

d = 23

So, the distance is 23 units

Answer:

length of the line segment =23

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] (11, −4) = (x_1 , y_1) \\ (−12, −4) = (x_2 , y_2) \\ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^{2} + (y_2 - y_1)^{2} }[/tex]

Plug in the values into the equation

[tex]d = \sqrt{( - 12 - 11)^{2} + ( - 4 - ( - 4)^{2} } [/tex]

Simply :

-12-11=- -23

-4(-4) = -4+4=0

[tex]d = \sqrt{( - 23)^{2} + {(0)}^{2} } \\ d = \sqrt{529 + 0} \\ d = \sqrt{529} \\ d = 23[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 324m^2, find its perimeter.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]perimeter=90[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length is four times the width, so:

[tex]l=4w[/tex]

We also know the area, which is 324 m². The formula for area:

[tex]A=l*w[/tex]

Insert the known values:

[tex]324=(4w)*w[/tex]

Solve for w. Simplify by removing parentheses:

[tex]324=4w*w\\324=4w^2[/tex]

Divide 4 from both sides to isolate the variable:

[tex]\frac{324}{4}=\frac{4w^2}{4} \\\\81=w^2[/tex]

Find the square root of both sides:

[tex]\sqrt{81} =\sqrt{w^2} \\\\w=9[/tex]

The width is 9 m.

We know the width. Now find the length by using the area formula and inserting known values:

[tex]324=l*9[/tex]

Solve for l. Divide both sides by 9:

[tex]\frac{324}{9}=\frac{l*9}{9}\\\\ l=36[/tex]

The length of the rectangle is 36. (You can check: 4 times 9 is 36)

Now find the perimeter:

[tex]P=2l+2w[/tex]

Insert values:

[tex]P=2(36)+2(9)\\\\P=72+18\\\\P=90[/tex]

The perimeter is 90 m.

PLS PLS HELP WILL GIVE 50 POINTS TO BRAINLIEST How do you find the radius of a circle with the equation: 03.5 (x+2.2)^2 + 3.5 (y−11.1)^2 − 21 = 0

Answers

Answer: r=√6 or r≈2.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius, you first need to know the equation of a circle.

Equation of a circle: [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

Now that we know the equation of the circle, we can use it to find the radius of the given equation.

3.5(x+2.2)²+3.5(y-11.1)²-21=0

So far the equation looks pretty similar with the exception of the bolded areas. To get rid of them, we need to use our algebraic properties.

3.5(x+2.2)²+3.5(y-11.1)²-21=0                    [add both sides by 21]

3.5(x+2.2)²+3.5(y-11.1)²=21                       [factor out 3.5]

3.5((x+2.2)²+(y-11.1)²)=21                           [divide both sides by 3.5]

(x+2.2)²+(y-11.1)²=6

Now, our equation is the same as the one posted above. You may think that 6 is our radius, but if you look closely, the equation is equal to r². Therefore, 6 is actually r², not r.

r²=6                                                             [square root both sides]

r=√6

Finally, we have the final answer, r=√6 or r≈2.45.

An online merchant sells products that can be classified into the following non-intersecting categories: video games, electronics and clothing.In any given week, it is estimated that twice as many video games are sold compared to clothing items. However, the number of electronic items sold would be two-thirds of the number of video games sold, less one-fifth of the number of clothing items sold. A total of five items were independently sold in the past week.What is the probability that the five items consisted of three video games, one electronic item and one clothing item?A. 0.03B. 0.06C. 0.08D. 0.12E. 0.15

Answers

Answer:

0.15 ( E )

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming

video game to be : V

electronics : E

clothing : C

From the content of the question

V = 2c

hence E = 2/3 V - 1/5 C  

              = 2/3 ( 2c ) -  1/5 c

              = [tex]\frac{17c}{15}[/tex]

therefore : V = 2c  and E =  17c / 15

assuming the number of clothing ( c ) = 15

V = 2*15 = 30  and E = ( 17 *15 ) / 15 = 17

Total number of items sold =  V + C + E = 30 + 15 + 17 = 62

from here we can determine the probability that of the five items independently sold that there are 3 video game, 1 electronic item and 1 clothing item

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle V_\text{right} \approx 1696\text{ units}^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume for an oblique cylinder is the same for the volume of a right cylinder. That is:

[tex]\displaystyle V_\text{right} = V_\text{oblique} = \pi r^2h[/tex]

Hence, find the volume of the oblique cylinder:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} V_\text{oblique} & = (3.14)(6)^2(15) \\ \\ & = 1695.6 \text{ units}^3 \\ \\ &\approx 1696\text{ units}^3\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle V_\text{right} \approx 1696\text{ units}^3[/tex]

In conclusion, the volume of the right cylinder is about 1696 units³.
