The Bureau of Labor Statistics1 in the US tells us that, in 2010, the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no colleg

e degree is 9.7% while the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor's degree is only 5.2%. Find the difference in proportions of those unemployed between these two groups and give the correct notation for the difference, with a minus sign. Since the data come from the census, you can assume that the values are from a population rather than a sample. Use the correct notation for population proportions and use subscripts on the proportions to identify the two groups. Assume high school graduates with no college degree are group 1 and college graduates with a bachelor's degree are group 2.

Answer:

p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

0.045*100= 4.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following notation:

p_1 represent the unemployment rate for high school graduates with no college degree

p_2 represent the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor's degree

And for this case we need to find the difference in proportions of those unemployed between these two groups, we want to find:

p_1 -p_2

From the info given we have p_1 = \frac{9.7}{100}=0.097

p_2 = \frac{5.2}{100}=0.052

And the difference:

p_1 -p_2 = 0.097-0.052 = 0.045

So then the difference between the two proportions is 0.045 and if we convert this into % we got

0.045*100= 4.5%

a rectangular prism has base edge lengths of 6" and 8". The base edge lengths of a right rectangular prism are 8" and 6". The ba
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of neither the rectangular prism nor the triangular prism are given, so we don't know the volume of either.

If h is the height of the rectangular prism, then its volume is

6×8×h = 48

if the height of the triangular prism is h/2, then its volume is

(1/2)×24×8×(h/2) = 48

So we know the volumes are the same -- but we don't know what that volume is.
