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%

Autum school holding a voleturing challeng. Students are encouraged to volunteer for at least 1 1/2 hours per week. Volenteers a
Pani-rosa [81]

Given :

Challenge given is to volunteer for about 1 1/2 hours per week .

Autum did at a rate of 6 3/4 hours per week .

To Find :

The comparison ( ratio )  her volunteers rate with the challenge rate .

Solution :

Simplifying challenge rate in in normal fraction , 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2} .

Also , simplifying her rate , 6\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{(6\times 4)+3}{4}=\dfrac{27}{4} .

Now , ratio of his work by challenge is :

R=\dfrac{\dfrac{27}{4}}{\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\\\R=\dfrac{27\times 2}{4\times 3}\\\\R=\dfrac{9}{2}

Therefore , the ratio is 9/2 or 4 1/2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Answer:

  • table: 14, 16, 18
  • equation: P = 2n +12

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter values will be ...

rectangles . . . perimeter

  1 . . . 14

  2 . . . 16

  3 . . . 18

__

The perimeter of a figure is twice the sum of the length and width. Here, the length is a constant 6. The width is n, the number of rectangles. So, the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(6 +n) = 12 +2n

Your equation is ...

  P = 2n +12 . . . . . . . . perimeter P of figure with n rectangles.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may be expected to write the equation using y and x for the perimeter and the number of rectangles. That would be ...

  y = 2x +12 . . . . . . . . . perimeter y of figure with x rectangles
