The statement his friend’s statement  is not accurate. The percent increase will be more than 2% is correct.

We have the average hourly earnings for a construction worker is projected to be $24.50 in 2012. jason wants to join the construction work force after he graduates in 2012. his friend tells him that average hourly earnings for construction workers will rise by 2% from 2009 to 2012.

<h3>What is the meaning of avarage?</h3>

An average value is defined as the sum of all the values divided by the total number of values in a given data.

Therefore we get,have ion industry  average hourly earnings, 2000-2009 a line graph titled construction industry, average hourly earnings (dollars), 2000 to 2009,

where the x-axis shows years and the y-axis shows average hourly earnings of production workers.

line starts at 17.2 on january 2000, slowly increases to 19.7 on january 2006, then increases more quickly to 20.5 on january 2007 and 22.4 on january 2009

<h3>What is the meaning of increasing 2%?</h3>

The percent increase between two values is the difference between a final value and an initial value, expressed as a percentage of the initial value.

Therefore from the given data line starts

17.2 on january 2006

20.5 on janury 2007

22.4 on janury 2009

It seems that The option B is correct.

Therefore,his friend’s statement  is not accurate. The percent increase will be more than 2%.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME. IM STUCK IN A SUMMER SCHOOL AND IF I DONT GET GOOD GRADES ILL GET IN BIG TROUBLE AND IM TOTALLY LO
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

We know that in the box there are:

4 twix

3 kit-kat

Then the total number of candy in the box is:

4 +3 = 7

a)

Here we want to find the probability that we draw two twix.

All the candy has the same probability of being drawn from the box.

So, the probability of getting a twix in the first drawn, is equal to the quotient between the number of twix and the total number of candy in the box, this is:

p = 4/7

Now for the second draw, we do the same, but because we have already drawn one twix before, now the number of twix in the box is 3, and the total number of candy in the box is 6.

this time the probability is:

q = 3/6 = 1/2

The joint probability is the product of the individual probabilities, so here we have

P = p*q = (4/7)*(1/2) =  2/7

b) same reasoning than in the previous case:

For the first bar, the probability is:

p = 3/7

for the second bar, the probability is:

q = 2/6 = 1/3

The joint probability is:

P = p*q = (3/7)*(1/3) = 1/7

c) Suppose that first we draw a twix.

The probability we already know that is:

p = 4/7

Now we want another type, so we need to draw a kit-kat, the probability will be equal to the quotient between the remaining kit-kat bars (3) and the total number of candy in the box (6)

q = 3/6

The joint probability is:

P = p*q = (4/7)*(3/6) = 2/7

But, we also have the case where we first draw a kit-kat and after a twix, so we have a permutation of two, then the probability in this case is:

Probability = 2*P = 2*2/7 = 4/7

What is the volume of the composite figure below? (formula for volume of a prism is 1/3 Bh where B is the area of the base.)
arsen [322]

Answer:

Last Option; 84 cu. mm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that;

Volume = 1/3(Bh)

And that this is figure has a square base, therefore B that represents the area of the base will be: 6 * 6 = 36

And height = 7mm

Therefore we can say;

Volume = (1/3)*(6 x 6)*(7)

Volume = (1/3)*(36)*(7)

Volume = (12)*(7)

<u>Volume = 84</u>

Hope this helps!
