Answer:

$240.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Peter is working for an hourly wage of $12. He worked for 20 hours last week.

Since gross pay is the income before any tax deductions. To find Peter's gross pay, we need to multiply his hourly wages by number of hours we worked.

$\text{Peter's gross pay}=\frac{\$12}{\text{ hour}}\times 20\text{ hours}}$

$\text{Peter's gross pay}=\$12\times 20$

$\text{Peter's gross pay}=\$240$

Therefore, Peter's gross salary last week was $240.

If Peter worked 20 hours last week and makes $12 a hour, his gross pay was $240.

12 x 20 = 240.

A magician is performing for an audience of 32 men and 20 women. He selects a volunteer from the audience, has the volunteer sta

statuscvo [17]

32+20=52 so there are 52 people in all.
32/52 people are men.
we now have to subtract 1 from this fraction like so 32-1/52-1 since the magician took away 1 man from the audience (therefore reducing the amount of men as well as the audience as a whole) resulting in 31/51
we multiply 32/52 with 31/51 to get 248/663. simply turn this fraction into a percent by multiplying the quotient by 100 and rounding it to the nearest tenth to get 37.4%

Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walker. They found th

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.515.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the respondents voted in favor of Scot Walker P(F) = 56%

Probability that the respondent voted in not favor of Scot Walker = 100-56 = P(F')=44%

Probability of those who did vote in favor had a college degree = 36% = P(C|F)

Probability of those who did vote against had a college degree = 44% = P(C|F')

So, we will use "Conditional Probability":

probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker given that they had a college degree is given by

$P(F|C)=\dfrac{0.56\times 0.36}{0.56\times 0.36+0.44\times 0.43}\\\\P(F|C)=0.515$

Hence, our required probability is 0.515.

If two triangles have three congruent, corresponding

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a pair of corresponding sides must be shown congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are "similar" if corresponding angles are congruent. The triangles will only be "congruent" if corresponding sides are also congruent. The additional information needed is that there is one congruent pair of corresponding sides. (If there's one pair, all pairs of corresponding sides will be congruent.)

Having one pair of corresponding sides congruent would allow you to invoke either of the ASA or AAS congruence postulates.
