Answer:

a)

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

b)

2 new counselors

Step-by-step explanation:

How many counselors should be assigned to each school using Hamilton's method?

Number of students

Lowell: 3584  

Fairview: 6816

Total number of students: 10400

Divisor D = (Total number of students)/(number of counselors)= 10400/13 = 800

<u>Temporal assignment</u>

3584/800 = 4 + 0.48 ==> 4 counselors for Lowell

6816/800 = 8 + 0.52 ==> 8 counselors for Fairview

There is one counselor left. According to Hamilton's method she should be assigned to the school with the largest remainder, that is Fairview.

<u>Final assignment</u>

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

The next year, a new school is opened, with 1824 students. Using the divisor from above, determine how many additional counselors should be hired for the new school

1824/800 = 2 + 0.28

<em>Two new counselors should be hired.</em>

What are the solutions to the equation (x-6)(x+8)=0?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

x = 6, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x - 6)(x + 8) = 0, that would imply that either (x - 6) or (x + 8) would equal zero. Using this, we can find that solving the two equations:

x - 6 = 0

and

x + 8 = 0

would yield the two solutions to the equation.

x - 6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

x = 6

So one of the solutions would be x = 6.

x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

x = -8

So the other solution would be x = -8.

The two solutions are x = 6 and x = -8.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Mean: $620, Mode: $600

Let's sort the rank stats.

First quartile: $580

Median: $610

Third quartile: $645

85th percentile: $685

OK, we're ready.  What happened to a and b?

c. $645 is the third quartile, 75th percentile.  That means 25% of the salaries are higher.

Answer: 25%

d.  $685 is the 85th percentile, 15% greater.

Answer: 15%

e.  The mean is the sum of all the salaries divided by the count.  

Mean = Sum / Count

So the sum is the count times the mean,

Sum = Count × Mean  = 100 × $620 = $62,000

Big payroll.

Answer: $62,000

suter [353]

the answer is b.7

Step-by-step explanation:

because you have to plug in the f(4) to the equation like this

f(4)=3(4)-5

and then multiple 3x4 which is 12 then subtract 12 and 5 and you get 7.
