As a valet at the mall, Davis works 7-hour shifts. He earns $7 per hour and keeps 60% of his tip money. How much does Davis need

to be tipped so that he takes home exactly $87.50, before taxes are deducted, per shift?

First lets calculate how much he makes in 7 hours from his hourly pay.
 Multiply 7 hours by $7, which equals $49, this is known as his base pay.

Now we subtract his base pay from what he wants to earn,
$87.50 - $49 = $38.50

He needs to earn $38.50 in tips.
 

He keeps 60% of his tip money, so we would divide the amount he needs ( $38.50) by 0.60 ( 60% as a decimal) to find out how much he needs in tips.

38.50 / 0.60 = 64.17

He needs to earn $64.17 in tips

If the length of the minor axis of an ellipse is 6 units and the length of the major axis is 10 units, how far from the center a
Sedbober [7]

The distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

<h3>How to determine the distance from the center?</h3>

The formula associated with the focus of an ellipse exists given as;

c² = a² − b²

Where c exists the distance from the focus to the center.

a exists the distance from the center to a vertex,

the major axis exists 10 units.

b exists the distance from the center to a co-vertex, the minor axis exists 6 units

c² = a² − b²

c² = 10² - 6²

c² = 100 - 36

c² = 64

c = \sqrt{64}

c = 8

Therefore, the distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.

Question: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has a length of 14 units and a side that is 9 units long. Which equation can be use
kramer

Answer:

The hypotenuse is the longest side in a triangle.

a^2=b^2+c^2.

14^2=9^2+c^2.

c^2=196-81.

c^2=115.

c=√115.

c=10.72~11cm

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

\mu_p -\sigma_p = 0.74-0.0219=0.718

\mu_p +\sigma_p = 0.74+0.0219=0.762

68% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.718 and 0.762

\mu_p -2*\sigma_p = 0.74-2*0.0219=0.696

\mu_p +2*\sigma_p = 0.74+2*0.0219=0.784

95% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.696 and 0.784

\mu_p -3*\sigma_p = 0.74-3*0.0219=0.674

\mu_p +3*\sigma_p = 0.74+3*0.0219=0.806

99.7% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.674 and 0.806

Step-by-step explanation:

Check for conditions

For this case in order to use the normal distribution for this case or the 68-95-99.7% rule we need to satisfy 3 conditions:

a) Independence : we assume that the random sample of 400 students each student is independent from the other.

b) 10% condition: We assume that the sample size on this case 400 is less than 10% of the real population size.

c) np= 400*0.74= 296>10

n(1-p) = 400*(1-0.74)=104>10

So then we have all the conditions satisfied.

Solution to the problem

For this case we know that the distribution for the population proportion is given by:

p \sim N(p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

So then:

\mu_p = 0.74

\sigma_p =\sqrt{\frac{0.74(1-0.74)}{400}}=0.0219

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

\mu_p -\sigma_p = 0.74-0.0219=0.718

\mu_p +\sigma_p = 0.74+0.0219=0.762

68% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.718 and 0.762

\mu_p -2*\sigma_p = 0.74-2*0.0219=0.696

\mu_p +2*\sigma_p = 0.74+2*0.0219=0.784

95% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.696 and 0.784

\mu_p -3*\sigma_p = 0.74-3*0.0219=0.674

\mu_p +3*\sigma_p = 0.74+3*0.0219=0.806

99.7% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.674 and 0.806

Why do banks give out there credit cards easily and offer to reward tgem
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

If the cardholder has a participating cash back rewards program, the credit card issuer simply shares some of the merchant fees with the consumer. The goal is to incentivize people to use their credit cards when making payments rather than cash or debit cards, which earns them no rewards.
