Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are rational, a - b has to be rational because we are not dividing them. 2 rational numbers subtracted from each other is always a rational number.

Example: 34 (rational) 23 (rational)

34 - 23 = 11 (rational)

Connie Hamm demonstrates microwave ovens at a home décor center . She is paid $35.00 per demonstration for the first 10 demonstr

DochEvi [55]

Connie will make $522.20 I believe
$35.00 x 10 = $350
$45.00 x 2 = $90
$20.55 x 4 = $82.20
350+90+82.20 = $522.20

For many years businesses have struggled with the rising cost of health care. But recently, the increases have slowed due to les

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

The margin of error for this case is given by:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

And replacing we got:

$ME = 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.0259$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.52 - 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.4941$

$0.52 + 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.5459$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.4941;0.5459).

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.52$ estimated proportion of of U.S. employers were likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

The margin of error for this case is given by:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

And replacing we got:

$ME = 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.0259$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.52 - 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.4941$

$0.52 + 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.5459$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.4941;0.5459).

Solve the equation 1/2(16x – 6) = 2.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

x = 0.625 or 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(16x-6) = 2

8x - 3 = 3

8x = 3 + 3

8x/8 = 9/8

x = 0.625
