Which of the following payroll deductions is required by law?

A Real estate agent receives a commission of 9% on property sold through her. What is her commission on a sale of $42,000?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$ 3780 will be commission

Step-by-step explanation:

as the commission is 9 % of the total amount of property sold

property sold for = 42000 $

9 % of the total property= 0.09 x 42000

= 3780 $

A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain sca

saul85 [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference would be given by (-1.776;0.376)

We are 95% confidence that the true mean difference is between $-1.776 \leq \mu_d \leq 0.376$ . Since the confidence interval contains the value 0, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Let put some notation

x=test value before , y = test value after

x: 6.4 2.6 7.7 10.5 11.7 5.8 4.3 2.8

y: 6.7 2.4 7.4 8.1 8.6 6.4 3.9 2.7

The differences defined as $d_i = y_i -x_i$ and we got:

d: 0.3, -0.2, -0.3, -2.4, -3.1, 0.6, -0.4, -0.1

We can calculate the mean and the deviation for the sample with the following formulas:

$\bar d=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}$

$s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}$

$\bar d=-0.7$ represent the sample mean for the difference

$\mu_d$ population mean (variable of interest)

$s_d$ =1.32 represent the sample standard deviation

n=8 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2} *\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,8)".And we see that $t_(\alpha/2)=2.306$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$-0.7-2.306\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{8}}=-1.776$

$-0.7+2.306\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{8}}=0.376$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval for the difference would be given by (-1.776;0.376)

We are 95% confidence that the true mean difference is between $-1.776 \leq \mu_d \leq 0.376$ . Since the confidence interval contains the value 0, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain.

calculate the unit rate of change for each linear function using the formula. (4,9) (8,12) (16,18) (32,30)

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The unit rate of change is of $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a set of points (x,y).

To find the unit rate of change, we take two points, and divide the change in y by the change in x.

Points (4,9) and (8,12)

Change in y: 12 - 9 = 3

Change in x: 8 - 4 = 4

Unit rate of change: $\frac{3}{4}$
