- The number of individuals that had infection A is 1/3 of N, or N/3.
Infection A: N/3 - The number of individuals that also had infection B is 1/5 of the number that had infection A. In other words, it is (1/5)A = (1/5)(N/3) = N/15.
Infection B: (1/5)A = (1/5)(N/3) = N/15 - If N/15 of the N individuals have infection A and B, then N – (N/15) did not have bot

This question requires two steps to solve: first, which year had the lowest total per capita consumption of both ice cream and cheese, and second, what was the ratio of ice cream consumption to cheese consumption in that year?
By examining the data points for particular years, you can identify that in 1989, the total consumption of ice cream and cheese was less than 53 pounds (because the ice cream consumption was less than 29 pounds, and the cheese consumption was less than 24 pounds.) Testing other years, such as 1990, confirms that 1989 had the lowest total consumption. (In 1990, the total consumption was approximately 53 pounds, based on the data points of approximately 28.5 pounds of ice cream and 24.5 pounds of cheese.)
To calculate the ratio of per capita ice cream consumption to per capita cheese consumption for 1989, divide the data point for ice cream (approximately 29) by the data point for cheese (approximately 24) for a ratio of approximately 1.2 (or, in fractional terms, 6/5).

- Start by combining the two equations. Since the second equation is already solved for y, plug it into the first equation to yield:
2x + 3y = 16
Since y = -6x
2x + 3(-6x)=16 - Simplify like terms:
2x + 3(-6x) = 16
2x + (-18x) = 16
-16x = 16. - Divide by -16 to yield x = -1. Be careful though: the question asks for the value of -x, not x.... more

Notes Wala answered • yesterday |
- We are interested in the sales of the old month. We know that the new month had 25% more sales than the old. Since a 25% increase is equal to multiplying a number by 1.25 (=100% + 25% = 1 + .25), we can write the following equation:
1.25(Old month sales) = $1,000,000
Divide both sides by 1.25 to yield $800,000 for the value of sales for the past month.

Some students argue that land is singular, even if it is thousands of acres.

Logical arguments are usually classified as either deductive or inductive, depending on the process used to arrive at them. In the process of deduction, you begin with some statements, called premises, which are assumed to be true, and you then determine what else would have to be true if the premises are true. For example, in mathematics you can begin with some axioms and then determine what you can prove to be true given those axioms are true. With deduction you can provide absolute proof of your conclusions, since your premises are considered correct. The premises themselves, however, remain unproven and unprovable; they must be accepted on face value, or by faith, or for the purpose of exploration.On the other hand, in the process of induction, you begin with some data, and then determine what general conclusion(s) can logically be derived from that data. In other words, you determine what theory or theories could explain the data. For example, you note that the probability of becoming schizophrenic is greatly increased if at least one parent is schizophrenic, and from that you conclude that schizophrenia may be inherited. That is certainly a reasonable hypothesis given the data. Note, however, that induction does not prove that the theory is correct. There are often alternative theories that are also supported by the data. For example, the behavior of the schizophrenic parent may cause the child to be schizophrenic, not the genes. What is important in induction is that the theory does indeed offer a logical explanation of the data. To conclude that the parents have no effect on the schizophrenia of the children is not supportable given the data, and would not be a logical conclusion.Both deduction and induction by themselves are inadequate for a scientific approach. While deduction gives absolute proof, it never makes contact with the real world; there is no place for observation or experimentation - no way to test the validity of the premises. And, while induction is driven by observation, it never approaches actual proof of a theory. Accordingly, a synthesis of these two logical approaches is required for an actual scientific method.Which one of the following statements can be inferred about the induction process of arriving at a logical argument?... more

Statement (1): The agency owns 7 total cars.
- This statement tells us that the total number of cars is 7, but it does not tell us how many are full-size and how many are compact.
- Without knowing the specific breakdown between the two types of cars, we cannot determine how many compact cars are owned. Therefore, Statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

Understanding the Quadratic Equation
To solve the equation x² + px + q = 0, we substitute the values of p and q. Given p = 7 and q = 12, the equation becomes:
x² + 7x + 12 = 0
Factoring the Quadratic
Next, we need to factor the quadratic equation. We look for two numbers that multiply to +12 (the constant term) and add up to +7 (the coefficient of x). The numbe... more

Understanding the Problem
To find the cost of one pen, we need to analyze the information given in the statements.
Statement 1: Cost of 3 pens and 2 pencils is 80
- Let the cost of one pen be P and the cost of one pencil be C.
- From the statement, we can formulate the equation:
3P + 2C = 80

Directions: Read the Passage carefully and answer the question as follow.Although European decisions during the 16th and 17th centuries to explore, trade with, and colonize large portions of the world brought tremendous economic wealth and vast geographic influence, the enormous success of European maritime ventures during the age of exploration also engendered a litany of unintended consequences for most of the nations with which Europe interacted. Due to their incredible military force, religious zeal, and uncompromising goal of profit, Europeans often imposed their traditions, values, and customs on the people with whom they traded. They frequently acted without regard to the long-term welfare of others as their principal concern was short-term economic gain. Since many nations that traded with Europe placed high value on their historical customs, some natives became deeply disconcerted by the changes that occurred as a result of European power. These factors, coupled with perennial domestic political instability, caused numerous countries to grow increasingly resistant to European influence.One potent example of this ideological shift can be seen in the actions of the Tokugawa government of Japan. In its Seclusion Edict of 1636, the government attempted to extricate cultural interactions with Europe from the intimate fabric of Japanese society. The Edict attempted to accomplish this by focusing on three areas. First, it sought to curb cultural exchange by eliminating people bringing European ideas into Japan. The Edict stated, "Japanese ships shall by no means be sent abroad….All Japanese residing abroad shall be put to death when they return home." Second, the Edict focused on limiting trade. Articles 11 through 17 of the Edict imposed stringent regulations on trade and commerce. Third, the government banned Christianity, which it saw as an import from Europe that challenged the long-established and well-enshrined religious traditions of Japan. The government went to considerable lengths to protect its culture. Article eight of the Edict stated, "Even ships shall not be left untouched in the matter of exterminating Christians."With the example of Japan and the examples of other countries that chose a different response to European influence, it is perhaps not too far of a stretch to conclude that Japan made the right decision in pursuing a path of relative isolationism. As history unfolded during the next 400 years, in general, countries that embraced European hegemony, whether by choice or by force, tended to suffer from pernicious wealth inequality, perennial political instability, and protracted underdevelopment.Q.

The passage below is accompanied by four questions. Based on the passage, choose the best answer for each question.Over the past four centuries liberalism has been so successful that it has driven all its opponents off the battlefield. Now it is disintegrating, destroyed by a mix of hubris and internal contradictions, according to Patrick Deneen, a professor of politics at the University of Notre Dame. . . . Equality of opportunity has produced a new meritocratic aristocracy that has all the aloofness of the old aristocracy with none of its sense of noblesse oblige. Democracy has degenerated into a theatre of the absurd. And technological advances are reducing ever more areas of work into meaningless drudgery. “The gap between liberalism’s claims about itself and the lived reality of the citizenry” is now so wide that “the lie can no longer be accepted,” Mr Deneen writes. What better proof of this than the vision of 1,000 private planes whisking their occupants to Davos to discuss the question of “creating a shared future in a fragmented world”? . . .Deneen does an impressive job of capturing the current mood of disillusionment, echoing leftwing complaints about rampant commercialism, right-wing complaints about narcissistic and bullying students, and general worries about atomisation and selfishness. But when he concludes that all this adds up to a failure of liberalism, is his argument convincing? . . . He argues that the essence of liberalism lies in freeing individuals from constraints. In fact, liberalism contains a wide range of intellectual traditions which provide different answers to the question of how to trade off the relative claims of rights and responsibilities, individual expression and social ties. . . . liberals experimented with a range of ideas from devolving power from the centre to creating national education systems.Mr Deneen’s fixation on the essence of liberalism leads to the second big problem of his book: his failure to recognise liberalism’s ability to reform itself and address its internal problems. The late 19th century saw America suffering from many of the problems that are reappearing today, including the creation of a business aristocracy, the rise of vast companies, the corruption of politics and the sense that society was dividing into winners and losers. But a wide variety of reformers, working within the liberal tradition, tackled these problems head on. Theodore Roosevelt took on the trusts. Progressives cleaned up government corruption. University reformers modernised academic syllabuses and built ladders of opportunity. Rather than dying, liberalism reformed itself.Mr Deneen is right to point out that the record of liberalism in recent years has been dismal. He is also right to assert that the world has much to learn from the premodern notions of liberty as self-mastery and self-denial. The biggest enemy of liberalism is not so much atomisation but old-fashioned greed, as members of the Davos elite pile their plates ever higher with perks and share options.

Here is the extracted text from the image:
Key Equations:
- Total weight: w + x = y
- Cashew content: 0.24w + 0.09x = 0.15y
Simplification:
Substitute y = w + x into the cashew equation:
0.24w + 0.09x = 0.15(w + x)
Solve to find the relationship:
x = 1.5w
Evaluating Statements:
- Statement (1): w = 30
Directly gives x = 1.5 × 30 = 45. Sufficient alone. - Statement (2): y = 75
Substitute into w + x = 75 and x = 1.5w:
w + 1.5w = 75 → w = 30, x = 45. Sufficient alone.
Final Answer:
Option D: EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
Option D: EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

Veterinarian: A disease of purebred racehorses that is caused by a genetic defect prevents afflicted horses from racing and can cause paralysis and death. Some horse breeders conclude that because the disease can have such serious consequences, horses with the defect should not be bred. But they are wrong because, in most cases, the severity of the disease can be controlled by diet and medication and the defect also produces horses of extreme beauty that are in great demand in the horse show industry.The veterinarian’s argument employs which one of the following techniques?- a)calling into question the motives of the horse breeders cited

In the early to mid-1980s, a business practice known as a “leveraged buyout” became popular as a method for companies to expand without having to spend any of their own assets. The leveraged buyout was not without its problems, however, and in time it came to represent in the public imagination not only corporate ingenuity and success, but also excess and greed. Many of the main corporate figures of the 1980s saw spectacular rises and, perhaps inevitably, spectacular falls as they abused the leveraged buyout as a means to extraordinary financial gain.
A leveraged buyout entails one company purchasing another using the assets of the purchased company as the collateral to secure the funds needed to buy that company. The leveraged buyout allows companies to take on debt that their own assets would have been insufficient to secure in order to finance expansion. The benefit of the leveraged buyout is obvious: companies with insufficient funds can still expand to compete with larger competitors. The drawbacks, however, became apparent only after the fact: the purchased company must perform extraordinarily well in order to generate the capital to pay off the loans that made the purchase possible in the first place. When the purchased company underperforms, the buyer must somehow find the money to pay off the loans. If such funds are not obtained, the buyer may be forced to sell off the company, or parts thereof, for less than the purchase price. In these cases, the buyer is still responsible for repaying the debt that is not covered by the sale price. Many of these deals resulted in the evisceration of the purchased companies, as subparts were sold to pay down the loans and employees were laid off to reduce costs and increase profits.
The most famous leveraged buyout is probably the 1988 purchase of RJR Nabisco by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (“KKR”). The purchase price for the corporate giant RJR Nabisco was $25 billion, almost all of which was borrowed money. The takeover was “hostile,” meaning that RJR Nabisco resisted any overtures from potential buyers. KKR ultimately succeeded by buying a controlling interest in RJR Nabisco, thereby obtaining voting control over the company. By the mid-1990s, though, KKR had seen a reversal of fortune and was forced to sell off RJR Nabisco in order to relieve itself of the crushing debt load.
The 1980s were the heyday of the leveraged buyout, as lending institutions were willing to loan money for these ventures. When the deals turned out to be much riskier in life than on paper, the lenders turned away from the buyouts and returned to the notion that borrowers must possess adequate collateral of their own.
