Answer:

The standard unemployment rate is of 0.0794 = 7.94%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard unemployment rate, as a proportion, is the number of unemployed people divided by the size of the labor force.

In this question:

Labor force: 189 million

Number of unemployed people: 15 million

What is the standard unemployment rate?

15/189 = 0.0794

The standard unemployment rate is of 0.0794 = 7.94%.

A running group has 38 members. Each group member completed half marathon (13.1 miles). The average time to complete is 110 minu
Vikki [24]

Answer:

They took 4,180 minutes total to complete the course.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average time is given by the sum of each individual time of the members divided by the number of members on the group. So if we want to know the total time they took to complete the course we need to take the average and multiply it by the number of people in the group. So we have:

total time = average*number of members = 110*38 = 4180 minutes

They took 4,180 minutes total to complete the course.

write the slope-intercept form for the equation of the line described through (4,-5) and parallel to y=--5/4x-4
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = -5x/4 + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope

y = -5/4x - 4

Slope is the coefficient of x

Slope m = -5/4

Substitute m into point slope form equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - y1 = -5/4( x - x1)

Substitute the point into the equation

( 4 , -5)

x1 = 4

y1 = -5

y - y1 = -5/4( x - x1)

y - (-5) = -5/4( x - 4)

y + 5 = -5/4(x - 4)

Using a slope intercept form equation

y = mx + c

y - intercept point y

m - slope

x - intercept point x

c - intercept

open the bracket with -5/4

y + 5 = -5(x - 4)/4

y + 5 = (-5x + 20)/4

y = (-5x + 20)/4 - 5

LCM = 4

y =( -5x + 20 - 20)/4

y = ( -5x + 0)/4

Rearrange in

y = mx + c

y = -5x/ 4 + 0/4

y = -5x/4 + 0

The equation of the line is

y = -5x/4 + 0

Scientists are studying hurricanes to determine the number of hurricanes in the past 50 years that have caused greater than $1 m
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 1. Hurricanes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To successfully perform this study, the population to be analyzed must be the total hurricanes that have happened in the last 50 years. If the population is reduced to only hurricanes that have caused damages of more than US $ 1 Million, we would be skewing the research, leaving many of the dispersion and central tendency analysis invalid. The objective is to obtain conclusions from all hurricanes and not only from a subset of them.
