Answer:

c. $19,813.56

Explanation:

Given:

• Lisa receives a net pay of $619.06 biweekly.

,

• $143 is withheld from her pay each pay period.

We are required to find her annual gross salary.

First, determine her gross salary for each pay period.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Gross Salary}=\text{Net Pay+Deduction} \\ =619.06+143 \\ =\$762.06 \end{gathered}$

Next, determine the number of payment periods.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Lisa is paid biwe}ekly,\text{ that is every 2 weeks.} \\ The\text{ number of weeks in a year}=52 \\ \text{Therefore:} \\ \text{The number of payment periods}=\frac{52}{2}=26 \end{gathered}$

Finally, multiply her gross salary per period by the number of periods to get her annual gross salary.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Gross annual salary}=26\times762.06 \\ =\$$19,813.56$ \end{gathered}$

Lisa's annual gross salary is $19,813.56.

Option C is correct.

A restaurant chain has two locations in a medium-sized town and, believing that it has oversaturated the market for its food, is

scoray [572]

Answer:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{1}=360000$ represent the mean for the downtown restaurant

$\bar X_{2}=340000$ represent the mean for the freeway restaurant

$s_{1}=50000$ represent the sample standard deviation for downtown

$s_{2}=40000$ represent the sample standard deviation for the freeway

$n_{1}=36$ sample size for the downtown restaurant

$n_{2}=36$ sample size for the freeway restaurant

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of revenue for downtown is higher than for freeway restaurant, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}\leq \mu_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}$

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Determine the critical value.

Based on the significance level $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ we can find the critical values from the t distribution dith degrees of freedom df=36+36-2=55+88-2=70, we are looking for values that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right tail on the t distribution.

For this case the value is $t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.66$

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$t=\frac{360000-340000}{\sqrt{\frac{50000^2}{36}+\frac{40000^2}{36}}}}=1.874$

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{70}>1.874)=0.033$

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

Comparing the p value with the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean for the downtown revenue restaurant seems higher than the true mean revenue for the freeway restaurant.

The best option would be:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Add the following Linear Expressions.<br> (-6y - 3) + 5 (3+2.5y)

amm1812

Answer= 6.5y+12

distribute the 5 in the parentheses:
(-6y-3) + (15+12.5y)
(you can take away the parentheses after this step)

then add like terms together.
12.5y + (-6y) = 6.5y
15 + (-3) = 12

make it one expression.
6.5y + 12

Suppose n(x)= 22 and n(y) is 13 what is the maximum number of elements X ∪Y can have ?

Nikolay [14]

The inclusion/exclusion principle states that

$|X\cup Y|=|X|+|Y|-|X\cap Y|$

That is, the union has as many members as the sum of the number of members of the individual sets, minus the number of elements contained in both sets (to avoid double-counting).

Therefore, $|X\cup Y|$ will have the most elements when the sets $X$ and $Y$ are disjoint, i.e. $X\cap Y=\emptyset$ , which would mean the most we can can in this case would be

$|X\cup Y|=|X|+|Y|=22+13=35$

(Note that $n(X)=|X|$ denotes the cardinality of the set $X$ .)

PLEASE HELP! Answer quickly for points!! There are 5 times as many tomato plants as there are cucumber plants. The number of pep

miskamm [114]

Let x= cucumber plants
5x= tomato plants
6x+7= pepper plants
peppers = 19
therefore
6x+7=19
subtract 7 from both sides
6x= 12
divide both sides by 6
x=2
replace the x with 2

2= cucumber plants
10= tomato plants

hope this helps

Explain how to solve for the rate in a simple interest equation if you are given the interest amount, the principal, and the tim

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

divide the interest amount by the product of the principal and time

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is I = prt where I is the interest, p is the principal, r is the rate and t is the time (in years). Rewriting this formula so that r is the subject we get r = I / pt. Therefore the answer is divide the interest amount by the product of the principal and time.
