You currently make $13.50 an hour. You've earned a 15% pay raise. You want to find out your previous rate of pay per hour.

<h2>Steps:</h2>

1.) Convert 15% to a decimal, which equals 0.15

2.) Multiply your current earnings with the percentage in decimal form (0.15)

$13.50 (current pay per hour) x 0.15 (percentage in decimal form) = $2.025 (difference between your previous wage and your current wage)

3.) Subtract the difference of your previous wage and current wage with your current earnings

$13.50 (current pay per hour) - $2.025 (difference between previous and current wage) = $11.475 (previous pay per hour)

4.) Since this is talking about wage, rounding is not applicable. In other cases, your number would be rounded off to $11.48, however you can't add what you don't have, so you would have to round down.

<h2>You were previously making $11.47 an hour.</h2>

SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE PLZ!

To construct a circle that circumscribes to a triangle, you would have to construct a circle that where all vertices of the triangle are on the circle. To do this you would have to construct the perpendicular bisectors of each side with your compass and straight edge. Comment on this answer if you are unsure of how to construct a perpendicular bisect (it's a long fundamental process to describe, and I wouldn't want to lecture you one something you already know). Once you have done so, set your compass point on the point where all perpendicular bisectors intersect (they should intersect in ONE point, if not you will have to redo it). Set your other compass lead on one of the vertices and spin away! If you have done this correctly, you should hit all three vertices when spinning your compass. Hope this helps!

Fun fact: the point where all perpendicular bisectors intersect is called the circumcenter

An article describes a study comparing two methods of measuring mean arterial blood pressure. The auscultatory method is based o

zzz [600]

Answer:

$p_v =P(t_{(5)}>0.499) =0.319$

The p value is higher than any significance level given for example $\alpha=0.05,0.1$ , so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the mean reading is greater for the auscultatory method at 5% or 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example if we have Before-and-after observations we can use it.

Let put some notation

x=Auscultatory method , y = Oscillatory method

x: 74 86 84 79 70 78 79 70

y: 70 85 90 110 71 80 69 74

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_x- \mu_y \leq 0$
