question:In a city, there are 1,000 people who have volunteered to be bone marrow donors. Among these volunteers, 15% are of non-European ancestry. A patient with non-European ancestry needs a bone marrow transplant, and the probability of finding a matching donor among those with the same ancestry is 1 in 200. How many potential matches are there for the patient within the group of volunteers?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:1. Determine the number of volunteers with non-European ancestry: We know that 15% of the 1,000 volunteers are of non-European ancestry. So, we calculate the number of non-European ancestry volunteers as follows: [ text{Number of non-European ancestry volunteers} = 0.15 times 1,000 = 150 ]2. Calculate the probability of finding a match among these volunteers: The probability of finding a matching donor among those with the same ancestry is given as 1 in 200. This means that for every 200 volunteers, there is 1 potential match.3. Find the number of potential matches: Since we have 150 volunteers of non-European ancestry, we need to find out how many potential matches there are among these 150 volunteers. The number of potential matches can be calculated using the probability provided: [ text{Number of potential matches} = frac{text{Number of non-European ancestry volunteers}}{text{Probability denominator}} ] [ text{Number of potential matches} = frac{150}{200} = 0.75 ]4. Interpret the result: Since the number of potential matches is 0.75 and we cannot have a fraction of a person as a match, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, there are no potential matches within this group of volunteers.# 0
question:A fashion photographer is planning an editorial shoot and wants to use a specific color grading technique that involves balancing the primary colors: red, green, and blue. To achieve the perfect look, she needs to mix her current color palette with additional colors. She has a base palette containing 180 units of red, 225 units of green, and 195 units of blue. For the shoot's theme, each color needs to be increased by a specific percentage: red by 20%, green by 15%, and blue by 10%. After the increase, she also wants to add an equal number of additional units to each color to further enhance the overall vibrancy. If she decides to add 30 additional units to each color after the percentage increase, how many units of red, green, and blue will she have in total for the shoot?
answer:To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:1. Calculate the increased units for each color after the percentage increase. - For red: Increase by 20% of 180 units. [ text{Increase in red} = 180 times 0.20 = 36 text{ units} ] New red total after percentage increase: [ 180 + 36 = 216 text{ units} ] - For green: Increase by 15% of 225 units. [ text{Increase in green} = 225 times 0.15 = 33.75 text{ units} ] New green total after percentage increase: [ 225 + 33.75 = 258.75 text{ units} ] - For blue: Increase by 10% of 195 units. [ text{Increase in blue} = 195 times 0.10 = 19.5 text{ units} ] New blue total after percentage increase: [ 195 + 19.5 = 214.5 text{ units} ]2. Add 30 additional units to each color. - Red after adding 30 units: [ 216 + 30 = 246 text{ units} ] - Green after adding 30 units: [ 258.75 + 30 = 288.75 text{ units} ] - Blue after adding 30 units: [ 214.5 + 30 = 244.5 text{ units} ]3. Calculate the total units of all colors combined. [ text{Total units} = 246 + 288.75 + 244.5 = 779.25 text{ units} ]Now, let's output the final answer.# 779.25
question:A graduate student is preparing to publish their first research paper. They have gathered data from 5 different experiments, each producing 12 pages of results. The student needs to condense their findings into a single paper that is no more than 20 pages long. If they spend an average of 3 hours editing each page of their original experiments, how many total hours will they spend editing to fit their paper into the final 20-page requirement?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine how many hours the graduate student will spend editing their paper to fit it into a 20-page limit.Step-by-step solution:1. Calculate the total number of pages from the original experiments: Each experiment produces 12 pages of results, and there are 5 experiments. Therefore, the total number of pages is: [ 5 text{ experiments} times 12 text{ pages/experiment} = 60 text{ pages} ]2. Determine how many pages need to be condensed: The student wants to condense their findings into a 20-page paper. Therefore, the number of pages that need to be condensed (i.e., the pages that need to be edited down from the original) is: [ 60 text{ pages (original)} - 20 text{ pages (final)} = 40 text{ pages} ]3. Calculate the total editing hours required: The student spends an average of 3 hours editing each page of their original experiments. Since they have 60 original pages, the total editing time required for the original pages is: [ 60 text{ pages} times 3 text{ hours/page} = 180 text{ hours} ] However, the final paper is only 20 pages long. To determine the total editing time for just the condensed paper, we recognize that they must edit the entire 60 pages down to 20, but the time spent should be calculated based on the original 60 pages they have to work through. Therefore, the total time spent editing all these pages down to fit into the 20-page paper is: [ 180 text{ hours} ]Therefore, the student will spend a total of # 180 # hours editing their paper to fit into the final 20-page requirement.
question:An architectural historian is examining the dimensions of a famous Renaissance building to challenge an art historian's interpretation that the design follows the "Golden Ratio." The building has a rectangular façade with a length of 80 meters and a width of 50 meters. The architectural historian argues that the ratio of length to width is not close to the Golden Ratio, which is approximately 1.618. To support their argument, the architectural historian conducts a series of calculations. First, they calculate the actual ratio of the building's length to its width. Then, they find the difference between this ratio and the Golden Ratio. Finally, they express this difference as a percentage of the Golden Ratio to highlight the deviation.What is the percentage difference between the actual ratio of the building's dimensions and the Golden Ratio?
answer:To solve this problem, we will follow the steps outlined:1. Calculate the actual ratio of the building's dimensions: The dimensions of the building are given as: - Length = 80 meters - Width = 50 meters The actual ratio of the length to the width is calculated as: [ text{Actual Ratio} = frac{text{Length}}{text{Width}} = frac{80}{50} = 1.6 ]2. Calculate the difference between the actual ratio and the Golden Ratio: The Golden Ratio is approximately 1.618. We find the difference between the actual ratio and the Golden Ratio: [ text{Difference} = text{Golden Ratio} - text{Actual Ratio} = 1.618 - 1.6 = 0.018 ]3. Express this difference as a percentage of the Golden Ratio: To find the percentage difference, we use the formula: [ text{Percentage Difference} = left(frac{text{Difference}}{text{Golden Ratio}}right) times 100 ] Plugging in the values, we get: [ text{Percentage Difference} = left(frac{0.018}{1.618}right) times 100 approx 1.112 % ]Therefore, the percentage difference between the actual ratio of the building's dimensions and the Golden Ratio is approximately 1.112%.# 1.112%
question:Jamie loves watching Formula 1 Racing and always cheers for the underdog teams. During one exciting race weekend, Jamie noticed that Team Arrow, a lesser-known team, scored 15 points on Saturday and 22 points on Sunday. Meanwhile, the top team, Team Thunder, scored 35 points on Saturday and 28 points on Sunday. Jamie wants to figure out how many more points Team Thunder scored over the entire weekend compared to Team Arrow. Can you help Jamie calculate the difference in points scored between the two teams for the whole weekend?
answer:To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total points scored by each team over the weekend and then find the difference between their scores.1. Calculate the total points scored by Team Arrow over the weekend: - Points scored by Team Arrow on Saturday = 15 - Points scored by Team Arrow on Sunday = 22 - Total points for Team Arrow = 15 + 22 = 372. Calculate the total points scored by Team Thunder over the weekend: - Points scored by Team Thunder on Saturday = 35 - Points scored by Team Thunder on Sunday = 28 - Total points for Team Thunder = 35 + 28 = 633. Calculate the difference in points scored between Team Thunder and Team Arrow: - Difference = Total points for Team Thunder - Total points for Team Arrow - Difference = 63 - 37 = 26The difference in points scored by Team Thunder compared to Team Arrow over the entire weekend is 26 points.# 26
