to solve we will set up a proportion . we know that β€œ 100 million vehicles is to 98 accidents as 3 billion vehicles is to x accidents ” . to express everything in terms of β€œ millions ” , we can use 3,000 million rather than 3 billion . creating a proportion we have : 100 / 98 = 3,000 / x cross multiplying gives us : 100 x = 3,000 * 98 x = 30 * 98 = 2,940 correct answer is c .

using the first example , here is the probability of that exact sequence occurring : wwgg = ( 3 / 6 ) ( 2 / 5 ) ( 3 / 4 ) ( 2 / 3 ) = 36 / 360 = 1 / 10 each of the other 5 options will yield the exact same probability . . . . wgwg = ( 3 / 6 ) ( 3 / 5 ) ( 2 / 4 ) ( 2 / 3 ) = 36 / 360 = 1 / 10 so we have 6 different options that each produce a 1 / 10 chance of occurring . 6 ( 1 / 10 ) = 6 / 10 = 3 / 5 final answer : a

carl is facing very difficult financial times and can only pay the interest on a $ 30,000 loan he has taken . the bank charges him a quarterly compound rate of 10 % . what is the approximate interest he pays annually ?
"usually , you are given the annual rate of interest and it is mentioned that it is annual rate . the bank charges him a quarterly compounded annual rate of 40 % . here you find per quarter rate as ( 40 / 4 ) % = 10 % i have actually never seen a question with quarter rate given but since this question did not mentionannual rate of interestand since the options did not make sense with 5 % annual rate of interest , it is apparent that the intent was a 10 % quarterly rate . so the bank charges 10 % every quarter and compounds it in the next quarter . had it been a simple quarterly rate , we would have just found 4 * 10 % of 30,000 = $ 12000 as our answer . but since , the interest is compounded , it will be a bit more than $ 12000 . option ( e ) looks correct ."

a school has 4 section of chemistry in class x having 65 , 35 , 45 and 42 students . the mean marks obtained in chemistry test are 50 , 60 , 55 and 45 respectively for the 4 sections . determine the overall average of marks per student .
required average marks = 65 Γ£ β€” 50 + 35 Γ£ β€” 60 + 45 Γ£ β€” 55 + 42 Γ£ β€” 45 / 65 + 35 + 45 + 42 = 3250 + 2100 + 2475 + 1890 / 187 = 9715 Γ’  β€ž 187 = 51.95 answer c

the speed at which a girl can row a boat in still water is 75 kmph . if he rows downstream , where the speed of current is 15 kmph , what time will he take to cover 300 metres ?
"speed of the boat downstream = 75 + 15 = 90 kmph = 90 * 5 / 18 = 25 m / s hence time taken to cover 400 m = 400 / 25 = 16 seconds . answer : a"

x , y , and z are all unique numbers . if x is chosen randomly from the set { 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 } and y and z are chosen randomly from the set { 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 } , what is the probability that x and y are prime and z is not ?
"p ( x is prime ) = 1 / 4 p ( y is prime ) = 1 / 4 if y is prime , then z is not prime since y and z are unique . then the probability is 1 / 4 * 1 / 4 = 1 / 16 the answer is a ."
