Malia works at a movie theater and is paid hourly. One month, she earned $388.80. The total amount she earns can be found using

the equation y = 8.1x, where x is the number of hours she works and y is the total amount she earns in dollars. Bill works at a golf course and is also paid hourly. The table shows the total amount he is paid for different numbers of hours worked. The number of hours:18, 28, 35. Total number earned:144.90, 225.40, 281.75. How do the units compare?

Answer:

Malia's unit rate is greater than Bill's by $0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total amount she earns can be found using the equation y = 8.1x, where x is the number of hours she works and y is the total amount she earns in dollars.

The unit rate, when written as a fraction, has a denominator equal to one.

The unit price of Malia is $8.1

For Bill works:

Number of hours   Total amount earned

             18                          $144.90

             28                         $225.40

             35                         $281.75

Unit price would be:

\dfrac{144.90}{18}=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\8.05=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\y=8.05x

Hence, unit price of Bill is $8.05

Malia's unit rate is 8.1 whereas Bill's unit rate is 8.05,

Thus, Malia's unit rate is greater than Bill's by 8.10-8.05=0.05.

Malia : y = 8.1x.....this tells me she makes 8.10 per hr worked

Bill : if he earned 144.90 for working 18 hrs.....144.90/18 = 8.05 per hr worked.

so Malia makes 5 cents more per hr worked.

Is that the answer ur looking for ?

We have 6 tents for 18 campers each tent holds 2 or 4 campers exactly how many of our tents hold 2
wolverine [178]

Answer:

  3 tents hold 2 campers

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be expressed as a single equation in the number of 2-camper tents.

__

Let x represent the number of 2-camper tents. Then the number of 4-camper tents is 6-x, and the total number of campers in tents is ...

  2x +4(6 -x) = 18

  -2x +24 = 18

  -2x = -6 . . . . . . subtract 24

  x = 3 . . . . . . . divide by -2

Exactly 3 tents hold 2 campers.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The other 3 tents hold 4 campers.

Another way to consider this is to assume that all tents hold 2 campers, and then realize there are 18 -6×2 = 6 campers left over. If these are placed 2 per tent, then there will be 6/2 = 3 tents with 4 campers. The remaining 3 tents will have 2 campers.

The national average sat score (for verbal and math) is 1028. if we assume a normal distribution with standard deviation 92, wha
elena55 [62]

Let X be the national sat score. X follows normal distribution with mean μ =1028, standard deviation σ = 92

The 90th percentile score is nothing but the x value for which area below x is 90%.

To find 90th percentile we will find find z score such that probability below z is 0.9

P(Z <z) = 0.9

Using excel function to find z score corresponding to probability 0.9 is

z = NORM.S.INV(0.9) = 1.28

z =1.28

Now convert z score into x value using the formula

x = z *σ + μ

x = 1.28 * 92 + 1028

x = 1145.76

The 90th percentile score value is 1145.76

The probability that randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is

P(X > 1200)

Z score corresponding to x=1200 is

z = \frac{x - mean}{standard deviation}

z = \frac{1200-1028}{92}

z = 1.8695 ~ 1.87

P(Z > 1.87 ) = 1 - P(Z < 1.87)

Using z-score table to find probability z < 1.87

P(Z < 1.87) = 0.9693

P(Z > 1.87) = 1 - 0.9693

P(Z > 1.87) = 0.0307

The probability that a randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is 0.0307
