Answer:

5 Cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cars to be sold to make the total pay equal be x.

The first company pays a salary of $12,500 plus commission of $1500 for each car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 12500+1500x

The second company pays a salary of $17,500 plus a commission of $500 per car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 17500+500x

Equating both sides

12500+1500x=17500+500x

Collect like terms

1500x-500x=17500-12500

1000x=5000

Divide both sides by 1000

x=5

Therefore, when 5 cars are sold, the total pay would be the same.

It would be y=4x-2 because:
8x-3y=6-4x
-8x         -8x
-3y=6-12x
/-3  /-3 /-3
y=-2+4x

A sample of 20 joint specimens of a particular type gave a sample mean proportional limit stress of 8.41 mpa and a sample standa
nignag [31]

For this problem, the confidence interval is the one we are looking for. Since the confidence level is not given, we assume that it is 95%.

 

The formula for the confidence interval is: mean ± t (α/2)(n-1) * s √1 + 1/n


Where:

<span>
</span>

α= 5%


α/2 = 2.5%


t 0.025, 19 = 2.093 (check t table)


n = 20


df = n – 1 = 20 – 1 = 19

So plugging in our values:


8.41 ± 2.093 * 0.77 √ 1 + 1/20


= 8.41 ± 2.093 * 0.77 (1.0247)


= 8.41 ± 2.093 * 0.789019


= 8.41 ± 1.65141676


<span>= 6.7586 < x < 10.0614</span>
