Using proportions, it is found that:

a) He has 24 videogames left.

b - I) He kept 15 videogames for himself.

b - II) The selling price of a videogame was of $800.

c) He received $15,200 from the sale of the videogames.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Item a:

He has 3/5 of 40 videogames left, hence:

3/5 x 40 = 3 x 8 = 24.

He has 24 videogames left.

Item b:

He kept 5/8 of the 24 videogames, hence:

5/8 x 24 = 5 x 3 = 15.

He kept 15 videogames for himself.

He also sold 9 videogames for $7,200, hence the selling price of one of them is:

7200/9 = $800.

Item c:

Earned $7,200 plus 500 for 16, hence:

T = 7200 + 500 x 16 = $15,200.

He received $15,200 from the sale of the videogames.

The income distribution in a county is a normal distribution with a mean income of $10,000. The top 2.5% of the wage earners ear
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

<em>84%</em><em> of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7%)-

According to this around 95% of the data will fall within two standard deviations of the mean.

As the bell curve is symmetrical, so the remaining 5% will be divided into 2 equal parts. So 2.5% will be above 2 standard deviation and 2.5% will be below 2 standard deviation.

As it is given that, the top 2.5% of the wage earners earn $18,000 or more, so 18,000 is 2 standard deviation away from the mean 10,000.

i.e 2\sigma=18000-10000=8000

\Rightarrow \sigma = 4000

We know that,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 14,000

μ = 10,000

σ = 4,000

Putting the values,

Z=\dfrac{14000-10000}{4000}=\dfrac{4000}{4000}=1

Now, calculating the value from the z score table,

P(1)=0.8413=84.13\%

As the probability at z=1 is the area below that, so 84% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each.

Answer:  For part A, the formula for the employee's pay is  <em><u>P</u></em>ay = hourly <em><u>r</u></em>ate times <em><u>h</u></em>ours .  P = r × h  The equation is P = 13h   To find how many hours are required to earn a given amount, fill in given values and solve for the missing variable .  7800 = 13h   h= 7800/13    600 hours needed.

For part B, the formula for this employee's pay is  <em><u>P</u></em>ay = <u><em>B</em></u>onus + hourly <em><u>r</u></em>ate times <em><u>h</u></em>ours .   P = b + rh

330 = 90 + r(24)    330 - 90 = 24r .  240 = 24r    240/24 = r . r = 10

The employee's pay rate is $10 per hour.
