A college accepted new applicants, of whom 56% were male and 44% were female. The board of directors was not pleased that males were being accepted at a greater percentage than females. A private company investigated and found each department accepted a greater percentage of females over males. What may make this claim possible?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Simson paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

In Simpson paradox, the trend that appears in the combined data reverses or disappears in the results of the several individual groups that make up the combined data

In the question, given that the percentage of female applicants accepted = 44% while the percentage of male applicants = 56%, and that the private company found that each department accepted a greater percentage of females over males

The above claim can occur when there is a confounding variable, which is the number of applications from female or male

The percentage used or the data provided to by the private company in each department are percentage in proportion of number of accepted females to total number of female applicants and percentage in proportion of number of accepted males to total number of male applicants, whereby, when there are fewer number of female applicants to each department and more were accepted, their percentage will be larger than the percentage of the male applications that have a lower percentage but larger number of applications, such that the accepted male applicants still outnumber the female when that total number of applications are considered.

peter, henry and john shared $345 between them. Peter received $45, henry received $75 and john received the rest.
a) find the ratio of peters share to henrys share to johns share

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J = John's share ($)

     P = Peter's share ($)

     H = Henry's share ($)

 

1) H = P + 80

 

2) J/P = 6/3 = 2

 

3) P/H = 3/5  

 

Substitute equation 1) into equation 3)

 

P/(P + 80) = 3/5            (multiply both sides by (P + 80)

 

P = (3/5)*(P + 80)         (multiply both sides by 5)

 

5*P = 3*P + 240

 

2*P = 240

 

P = 240/2 = $120

 

Substitute P value into equation 2)

 

J/P = 2  or

 

J = 2*P = 2*$120 = $240

 

John received $240

 

 

You are a screenwriter who is writing a script for an hour-long police drama. You have written 20 1/2 pages for act 1 and 5 1/2 pages for act 2.

How many pages have you written in total?

Answers

Answer:

You have written 26 pages in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

I always enjoyed adding fractions. Something about it is so... simple.

The problem is basically asking us to add 20 1/2 and 5 1/2 together.

I would first suggest adding both halves together, to make 1.

That way, we're left with 20 + 5 + 1. That seem easier, doesn't it?

Then we would add 20, 5 and 1 together, to get 26 whole pages.

And that, to an extent, is how I did it.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

Given:

Written pages for Act 1 = 20 1/2

Written pages for Act 2 = 5 1/2

For making mixed numbers like this easier to add, let's convert them first into an irrational number with this formula,

((Whole Number × Denominator) + Numerator)/Denominator

Thus,

for 20 1/2

((20 × 2) + 1)/2 = 41/2

for 5 1/2

((5 × 2) + 1)/2 = 11/2

Then we add,

41/2 + 11/2

Since, they have the same denominator, no more conversions need, proceed adding the numerators,

(41 + 11)/2 = 52/2 = 26

You've written 26 pages in total.

Answer:

44 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles ABC and DBC are congruent (as said in the question), that would make the corresponding parts of the two triangles congruent.

Answer:

Angle D = 44° (degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

given that ∆ABC is congruent to ∆DBC, AB = 10, and Angle A = 44°. Angle D must be 44° as well since you can tell that angle abc is 88° and is not a right angle, and due to the corresponding parts. You can also think about these triangle as angles since angle abc = angle dbc. The other angles can be calculated using the triangle sum theorem since both triangles share side bc so angle acb and dcb are right angles(90°)

therefore 180-(44+90) = 46° which the measure of angles abc and dcb.

This measure would only make it true because of triangle congruency.

From the question, we are informed that a scale drawing of an office space uses a scale of 1 in. : 4 yd.

When the scale drawing has an area of 12 square inches, to get the area of the actual office space, we multiply the given number by 4 since the actual office space is 4× the scale drawing. This will be:

Be sure to site examples and parts of the Constitution to support your opinion. The internal situation of France is today as calm as it has ever been in the most peaceful periods. There is no agitation to disturb the public tranquility, no suggestion of those crimes which recall the Revolution. Everywhere, useful enterprises are in progress and the general improvements, both public and private, attest the universal confidence and sense of security. . . A plot conceived by an implacable [ruthless] government was about to re-plunge France into the abyss of civil war and anarchy. The discovery of this horrible crime stirred all France profoundly, and anxieties that had scarcely been calmed again awoke. Experience has taught that a divided power in the state is impotent [weak] and at odds with itself. If vested in an individual for life, it would lapse with him, and after him would prove a source of anarchy and discord. It was clearly seen that for a great nation the only salvation lies in hereditary power, which can alone assure a continuous political life which may endure for generations, even for centuries. The necessity of hereditary power in a state as vast as France had long been perceived by the First Consul [Napoleon]. He had endeavored in vain to avoid this conclusion; but the public solicitude [worry] and the hopes of our enemies emphasized the importance of his task, and he realized that his death might ruin his whole work. Under such circumstances, and with such a pressure of public opinion, there was no alternative left to the First Consul. He resolved, therefore, to accept for himself, and two of his brothers after him, the burden imposed by the exigencies [demands] of the situation. The French people, by a free and independent expression, then manifested its desire that the imperial dignity should pass down in a direct line through the legitimate or adopted descendants of Napoleon Bonaparte, or through the legitimate descendants of Joseph Bonaparte, or of Louis Bonaparte.
