Part A: W = 6x 

Part B: Since without overtime it is 6 $ per hour and you need to make 40 hours 
you would multiply 6 *40 = 240
So <u>S = 240 + 9y

</u>Part C: <u><em>Substitute</em></u><u />
Since Andrew earned 330 you would substitute it for <em>S</em> 
<u>
330 = 240 + 9y
</u> <--- solve for <u /><u><em>y</em><em /></u><em />

330  ( - 240 ) = 240 ( - 240 ) 9y  < ---- subtract 240 from each side 
90 = 9y 
90 / 9 = 9y / 9 <----- divide by 9 

10 =y   Andrew worked 10 hours for overtime  

<u><em /></u><u><em /></u><em /><u><em>Check </em></u><u><em /></u><em /> 
<u><em />
</u>
<u><em>330</em></u><u><em /></u><em> </em>= 240 + 9(10)
<u><em>330</em></u><u><em /></u><em /> = 240 + 90 
<u><em>330</em></u><u><em /></u><em /> = 330 <-- your answer is <u><em>10</em></u>

the following data values represent a population. what is the variance of the values? 17, 5, 11, 1, 11
Vladimir [108]
Variance = summation of (x - mean)^2 all divided by the number of dataset.
mean = (17 + 5 + 11 + 1 + 11)/5 = 9

Variance = [(17 - 9)^2 + (5 - 9)^2 + (11 - 9)^2 + (1 - 9)^2 + (11 - 9)^2]/5 = (8^2 + (-4)^2 + 2^2 + (-8)^2 + 2^2}/5 = (64 + 16 + 4 + 64 + 4)/5 = 152/5 = 30.4

Yeah... I'm normal good at angles, but the way you've taken the picture, it's pretty hard for us to figure out. All you need to do is grab you protractor and start measuring. Pretty simple.<span />
