Answer:

15.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in a certain city, the hourly wage of workers on temporary employment contracts is normally distributed. The mean is $15 and the standard deviation is $3.

Let us find the z-score of 12, using z-score formula.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, where,

z = z-score,

x = Random sample score,

\mu = Mean,

\sigma = Standard deviation.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula we will get,

z=\frac{12-15}{3}

z=\frac{-3}{3}

z=-1

Let us find P(z<-1) using normal distribution table.

P(z

Therefore, probability of a temporary worker earns less than $12 per hour is 0.15866. Let us convert our given probability in percentage by multiplying by 100.

\text{The percentage of temporary workers earn less than \$12 per hour}=0.15866\times 100

\text{The percentage of temporary workers earn less than \$12 per hour}=15.866\approx 15.87

Therefore, 15.87% of temporary workers earn less than $12 per hour.

For the real-valued functions f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), find the composition f o g and specify its domain using interval not
Anettt [7]

Answer:

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

Domain = [1, \infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions  f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), we are to find the composite function fog

fog = f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(√(x-1))

f(√(x+1)) means that we are to replace variable x in f(x) with the function √(x-1)

f(√(x-1)) = 2(√(x-1))+1

f(√(x+1)) = 2√(x-1) + 1

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

<em>For the function to exist on any real valued function, then the function inside square root i.e x-1 must be greater than or equal to zero (x-1≥0)</em>

If x-1≥0

x≥0+1

x≥1

This means the range of variable x must be values of x greater than or equal to 1.

Domain = [1, \infty)
