Percent Return Formula


In math, how much of parts done in every hundred is called as percents. The percents are represented by the symbol ‘%’. In other words, how much of value is noted out of hundred in experiments. The formula is returned with 100. Now we are going to see about percent return formula.


I like to share this Formula for Permutation with you all through my article.

Explanations for Percents Return Formula in Math

Percents return formula:

The percents are represented as fraction with percentage symbol that is 32/100%. We can denote the percents in whole number also like 32%.T he formula for returns the percents are P = ( observed value / total value) x 100.

How to return the percents using formula:

The formula for percents is divide the observed value and total value. Then multiply the 100 with that resultant value. Now, we can say this value is percents with symbol ‘%’. Sometimes, the formula returns the decimal value.

How to returns the fraction into decimal value:

We can represent the percent value in fraction and if there is any possible, we can simplify the fraction. Then divide the numerator value with denominator value.

More about Percents Returns Formula

Example problems for percents return formula in math:

Problem 1: Return the percent value using formula for given expression.

The student got the marks 140 out of 200. What is the percent value of student?

Answer:

The percent return formula is P = (observed value / total value) x 100.

The observed value is 140.

Return the percent as (140/200) x 100 = 0.7 x 100 = 70%.

Therefore, the formula returns the percent value as 70%.

Problem 2: Return the percent value using formula for given expression.

The fruit seller has 1650 apples out of 300 fruits. What is the percent value of apple?

Answer:

The percent return formula is P = (observed value / total value) x 100.

The observed value is 165.

Return the percent as (165/300) x 100 = 0.55 x 100 = 55%.

Therefore, the formula returns the percent value as 55%.

Probability of Rolling Doubles


Probability is the chance of the outcome of an event of a particular experiment. Probabilities are occurs always numbers between 0(impossible) and 1(possible). The set of all possible outcomes of a particular experiment is called as sample space. For example probability of getting a 3 when rolling a dice is ` 1/6` . In this article we will discuss about probability problems using dice.


Rules of Probability Doubles - Example Problems

Example 1: If rolling two dice, what is the probability of getting doubles?

Solution:

Let S be the sample space, n(S) = 6 * 6 = 36.

A be the event of getting doubles.

A = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}, n(A) = 6

P(A) = `(n(A))/(n(S))` = `6/36` = `1/6`

Example 2: If rolling two dice, what is the probability of getting doubles or primes?

Solution:

Let S be the sample space, n(S) = 6 * 6 = 36.

A be the event of getting doubles.

n(A) = {{1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)} = 6

P(A) = `(n(A))/(n(S))` = `6/36` = `1/6`

Let B be the event of getting primes.

n(B) = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4, 3), (5,2), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 5)} = 15

P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))` = `15/36` = `5/12`

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) = `1/6` + `5/12` = `7/12`

P(A or B) = `7/12`

Therefore probability of getting doubles or primes is `7/12`

Example 3: If rolling two number cubes, what is the probability of getting doubles or sum of 7?

Let S be the sample space, n(S) = 6 * 6 = 36.

A be the event of getting doubles.

n(A) = {{1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)} = 6

P(A) = `(n(A))/(n(S))` = `6/36` = `1/6`

Let B be the event of getting sum of 7.

n(B) = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)} = 6

P(B) = `(n(B))/(n(S))` = `6/36` = `1/6`

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) = `1/6` + `1/6` = `1/3`

P(A or B) = `1/3`

Therefore probability of getting doubles or sum of 7 is `1/3`

Probability of Rolling Doubles - Practice Problems

Problem 1: If rolling two dice, what is the probability of getting a sum of 5 or 6?

Problem 2: If rolling two number cubes, what is the probability of getting 6 or 7?

Answer: 1) `1/4` 2) `11/36`

Solving Double Number Identities


Trigonometry is arrived from the Greek word, trigonon = triangle and metron = measure. The father of trigonometry is Hipparchus. He designed the first trigonometric table. Identity is defined as an equation that is true for all probable values of its variables. In online, many websites provide online tutoring using tutors. Double number trigonometric identities problems are easy to solve. Solving double number trigonometric identities problems are easy.  Through practice, students can learn about solving trigonometric identities. Through online, students can practice more problems on trigonometric identities. In this topic, we are going to see about; solving double number identities.

Solving Double Number Identities: - Double Number Identities

The list of double number identities are given below,

sin `2theta` = 2sin `theta` cos `theta `

cos `2theta` = 2cos2 `theta` -1

cos `2theta` = 1- 2sin2 `theta`

cos `2theta` = cos2 `theta` – sin2 `theta`


Solving Double Number Identities: - Examples

Example 1:

Evaluate sin 60 using double number identities,

Solution:

sin 2theta = 2sin theta cos theta

sin 60 = (2x30)

= 2 sin 30 cos 30

= 2 (0.5) (0.866)

= 2*0.433

= 0.866

The answer is 0.866



Example 2:

Evaluate sin 90 using double number identities,

Solution:

sin 2theta = 2sin theta cos theta

sin 90 = (2x45)

= 2 sin 45 cos 45

= 2 (0.707) (0.707)

= 2*0.499

= 1

The answer is 1



Example 3:

Evaluate cos 50 using double number identities,

Solution:

cos 2theta = cos2 theta – sin2 theta

cos 50 = cos (2x25)

= cos2 25 - sin2 25

= (0.906)2 - (0.423)2

= 0.820 - 0.179

= 0.641

The answer is 0.641

Example 4:

Evaluate cos 90 using double number identities,

Solution:

cos 2theta = cos2 theta – sin2 theta

cos 90 = cos (2x45)

= cos2 45 - sin2 45

= (0.707)2 - (0.707)2

= 0.499-0.499

= 0

The answer is 0



Example 5:

Find cos 2y if sin y = -15/16 and in 3rd quadrant

Solution:

It is given that sin 2y is in 3rd quadrant,

Use the double angle identities

cos 2theta = 1- 2sin2 theta

cos 2y = 1 -2sin2 y

= 1 – 2`(-15/16)` 2

= 1 – 2 `(225/256)`

Taking LCM, we get

= `(256-450)/256`

= `-194/256`

= -97/128

The answer is `-97/128`

Sigma Algebra Examples


In mathematics, an σ-algebra is a technological concept for a group of sets satisfy certain properties. The main advantage of σ-algebras is in the meaning of measures; particularly, an σ-algebra is the group of sets over which a measure is distinct. This concept is important in mathematical analysis as the base for probability theory, where it is construed as the group of procedures which can be allocated probabilities. Now we will see the properties and examples.
Properties - Sigma Algebra Examples

Take  A  be some set, and 2Aits power set. Then a subset Σ ⊂ 2A is known as the σ-algebra if it satisfies the following three properties:

Σ is non-empty: There is as a minimum one X ⊂ A in Σ.
Σ is closed below complementation: If X is in Σ, then so is its complement, A \ X.
Σ is closed under countable unions: If X1, X2, X3, ... are in Σ, then so is X = X1 ∪ X2 ∪ X3 ∪ … .

Eg:

Thus, if X = {w, x, y, z}, one possible sigma algebra on X is

Σ = { ∅, {w, x}, {y, z}, {w, x, y, z} }.
Examples - Sigma Algebra

Example 1

X={1,2,3,4}. What is the sigma algebra on X?

Solution:

Given set is X={1,2,3,4}

So Σ = { ∅, {1,2}, {3,4}, {1,2,3,4}}.

Example 2

What is the sigma algebra for the following set ? X={2,4,5,9,10,12}

Solution:

Given set is X={2,4,5,9,10,12}

So   Σ = { ∅, {2,4}, {5,9}, {10,12},{2,4,5,9,10,12}}.

Example 3

11x+2y+5x+12a. Simplify the given equation in basic algebra.

Solution:

The given equation is  11x+2y+5x+12a

There are two related groups are available. So join the groups.

The new equation is,

(11x+5 x)+2y+12a

Add the numbers inside the bracket. We get 16x+2y+12a.

Arrange the numbers and we get the correct format.

=12a+16x+2y

We can divide the equation by 2.

So the equation 6a+8x+y.

These are the examples for sigma algebra.

Generating Function of Exponential Distribution


In mathematics, generating function of exponential distribution is one of the most interesting distributions in probability theory and statistics. The random variable X has an exponential distribution along with the parameter λ, λ> 0. If its probability density function is given by

f(x) = lambdae^(-lambdax) ,         x >= 0

Otherwise, f(x) = 0, x < 0. The following are the moment generating functions and example problems in generating function of exponential distribution.

Generating Function of Exponential Distribution - Generating Function:

Generating function (or) Moment generating function:

Moment generating function of exponential distribution function can be referred as some random variable which contains the other definition for probability distribution. Moment generating function give the alternate way to analytical outcome compare and also it can be straightly working with the cumulative and probability density functions. Moment generating function can be denoted as Mx(t) (or) E(etx). Here we help to calculate the moment generating function for the exponential distribution function.

Mx(t) = E(etx) =int_-oo^ooe^(tx)f(x)dx

= int_0^ooe^(tx)(lambda e^(-lambdax))dx

= λ int_0^ooe^(tx)(e^(-lambdax))dx

= λ int_0^ooe^((t-lambda)x)dx

= λ [e^(((t- lambda)x)/(t- lambda))]^oo_0

= λ [e^(((t- lambda)oo)/(t- lambda)) - e^(((t- lambda)0)/(t- lambda)) ]

Here we use this eoo = 0, and also we use this e0 = 1

= λ [ 0 – 1/(t- lambda) ]

= λ [ -(1/-( lambda-t)) ]

= lambda [1/ (lambda-t)]

= lambda/( lambda-t)

Mx (t) = E (etx) = lambda/(lambda-t)

Generating Function of Exponential Distribution - Example Problem:

Example 1:

If X has probability density function f(x) = e-5x, x > 0. Determine the moment generating function E[g(x)], if g(x) = e11x/15

Solution:

Given

f(x) = e-5x

g(x) = e11x/15

E(g(x)] = E[e11x/15]

= int_0^ooe^((11x)/15)f(x)dx

=  int_0^ooe^((11x)/15) (e^(-5x))dx

= int_0^ooe^(-x(5-(11/15)))dx

= [e^((-x(5-11/15))/-(5-11/15))]^oo_0

=[(e^-oo- (e^0)/-(5-11/15)) ]

= [0+ 1/(5-11/15) ]

= [1/((75-11)/15) ]

= [1/(64/15) ]

= 15/64

E [g(x)] = 0.2344

Answer:

E [g(x)] = 0.2344

Solving Word Percent Problems


In mathematics, a percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviation "pct". Percentages are used to express how large/small one quantity is, relative to another quantity. The first quantity usually represents a part of, or a change in, the second quantity, which should be greater than zero. Source: Wikipedia.
Solving Word Percent Problems

Solving percent problems - Example

Example 1: What percent of 30 is 60?

Solution:

30 × `x/100` = 60

30x = 6000

x = 200

Therefore 60 is 200 percent of 30.

Example 2: What is 45% of 250?

Solution:

`45/100`  × 250 = x

45 × 250 = 100x

x = `11250/100` = 112.5

Therefore 45 percent of 250 is 112.5.

Example 3:  25% of what is 15?

Solution:

`25/100` × (x) = 15

25x = 1500

x = 60

Therefore 25 percent of 60 is 15.

Example 4: What is the percentage increase from 14 to 24?

Solution:

Increase = 24 - 14 = 10

Percentage increase = (Change in value / Original value) × 100%

Percentage increase = `10/14` ×100% = 71.42%

Therefore 71.42% increase from 14 to 24.

Example 5: Last month, Anita earned $300. This month she earned $450. Calculate the percentage increase in her earnings.

Solution:

Increase = $450 - $300 = $150

Percentage increase = (Change in value / Original value) × 100%

Percentage increase = `150/300` × 100% = 50%

Therefore percentage increase in her earnings is 50%.

Example 6: What is the percentage decrease from 30 to 14?

Solution:

Decrease = 30 – 14 = 16

Percentage decrease = (Change in value / Original value) × 100%

Percentage decrease = `16/30` × 100% = 53.33%

Therefore 53.33% decrease from 30 to 14.

Example 7: Last month, Anita earned $400. This month she earned $340. Calculate the percentage decrease in her earnings.

Solution:

Decrease = $400 - $340 = $60

Percentage decrease = Change in value / Original value × 100%

Percentage decrease = `60/400` × 100% = 15%

The percentage decrease in her earnings is 15%.
