They are followed by detailed occupations under that category, such as Legal Secretaries and Medical Secretaries. These have active links (underlined). Choose a more detailed (underlined) occupation.
Tip: If you cannot find a particular occupation you are looking for, try different wording. For example, look for musician instead of rock star.
(b)Select the link for your chosen occupation. You will see a brief description of the job followed by mean wages.
3.Open your presentation. On slide 1, type your name. On slide 2, record the occupation title, occupation code (shown in the form xx-xxxx), mean hourly wage, and annual mean wage of your chosen career. If one of these amounts is missing, calculate it. Assume working 40 h/week for 52 weeks. Then summarize the duties of an employee with this job. Do not copy the description from the website word for word.

• Life Insurance: Use an annual deduction of $400 to calculate the deduction for the pay period.
• Disability Insurance: Use an annual deduction of $150 to calculate the deduction for the pay period.

Answer:
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let E: Event of getting a 3 in the spinner.
So, the number of favorable outcomes = 11
Total number of outcomes = Number of times the outcomes is {1,2,3,4,5,6}
= {13 +10 +11+16+11} = { 61}
So, the total number of outcomes = 61
So, here
