So first we start with division:

$750 divided by 2 equals $375.

Since one employee gets more than the other, we need to add more onto his/her salary.

So, next is addition.

$375 plus $200 equals $575.

So, one employee makes $375 while the other has an increase in his salary, so they get paid $575.

Hope I helped you!

So first, u want to set up a system of equations:

(x+y)÷2=750

x+200=y

we can use substitution by putting x+200 in place of y in the first equation.

(x+x+200)÷2=750

(2x+200)÷2=750
2x+200= 1500
2x=1300
x=650

Now that we have found x, we can substitute that value to find y.

x+200=y
650+200=y
y=850

so, one make $850 and the other makes $650.

Answer:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

$z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion with the survey

$p_o=0.41$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is lower than 0.41.:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .
