His hourly rate is $13.75.

Let x be the hourly rate.  Since he works 20 hours that week, the hourly wages are given by 20x.  We add to that his commission, which is 16% of the $1500 in sales, or 0.16(1500).  This totals to 515:

20x + 0.16(1500) = 515
20x + 240 = 515

Subtract 240 from both sides:
20x + 240 - 240 = 515 - 240
20x = 275

Divide both sides by 20:
20x/20 = 275/20
x = 13.75.

Anika [276]

Answer:

Larger for the sample of Canadians

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation (sampling variability) associated with the sample means and vice-versa.

The sample of Canadians is smaller, it is expected that their sampling variability is larger than the sample of Canadians based on the rule that as the sample size increases, the standard deviation of the means decreases; and as the sample size decreases, the standard deviation of the sample means increases

of a digit changes its value by a power of 10 .

In a system of numbers to any other base, moving the place of a digit changes
its value by a power of whatever the base of that number system is.
