The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable:
x: number of years
y: total salary
We have then:
For first company:
y = 1500x + 31000
For second company:
y = 2000x + 28500
Equaling both equations we have:
1500x + 31000 = 2000x + 28500
Clearing x:
2000x - 1500x = 31000 - 28500
500x = 2500
x = 2500/500
x = 5
Answer:
It will take for the salaries to be the same about:
x = 5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The plumber's daily earnings have a mean of $145 per day with a standard deviation of
$16.50.
We want to find the probability that the plumber earns between $135 and
$175 on a given day, if the daily earnings follow a normal distribution.
That is we want to find P(135 <X<175).
Let us convert to z-scores using
This means that:
We simplify to get:
From the standard n normal distribution table,
P(z<1.82)=0.9656
P(z<-0.61)=0.2709
To find the area between the two z-scores, we subtract to obtain:
P(-0.61<z<1.82)=0.9656-0.2709=0.6947
This means that:
The correct choice is C.
About Slope Intercept Form:
- y = mx + b
- m represents the slope
- b represents the y-intercept or AKA the starting point
ABOUT PROBLEM:
- Since -3/2 is the slope, it represents m in Slope Intercept Form
- Since -5 is the y-intercept, it represents b in Slope Intrecept Form
y = mx + b
y = -3/2x + -5 --- IN Slope Intercept Form
Hope this helps you!!! :)
The radius is 10, so the diameter is 20. This means the parts of the diameter (the chord through the center P) to the left and right of the vertical chord have lengths 16 and 4, respectively.
Because the horizontal chord is a diameter, the vertical chord is cut in half, so its parts above and below the diameter both have length <em>x</em>.
Now, by the intersecting chord theorem,
16×4 = <em>x</em> × <em>x</em>
or
<em>x</em> ² = 64
so that
<em>x</em> = 8
