In May Mr. Lee's earings were 60 percent of the Lee family's total income. In June Mr. Lee earned 20 percent more than in May. I

f the rest of the family's income was the same both months, then, in June, Mrs.Lee's earnings were approximately what percent of the Lee Family's total income?

Answer: 64.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total earnings of the Lee family in May be x

Amount earned by Mr Lee in May = 60% of x = 0.6x

Amount earned by other family members in May = x - 0.6x (total earnings - Mr Lee's earnings) = 0.4x

Amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 20% more than what Mr Lee earned in May.

That is, amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 1.2 × 0.6x = 0.72x

Amount earned by other members of the family in June remains unchanged, that is = 0.4x

Total amount earned by the Lee family in June = 0.72x + 0.4x = 1.12x

Percentage of total earnings in June earned by Mr. Lee = (0.72x/1.12x) × 100% = 64.29%.

Ahat [919]

Complete Question

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens remain unemployed for an average of 15.9 weeks before finding their next job (June, 2008). Suppose you want to show that Louisiana has been effective in getting their unemployed back to work sooner. You take a random sample of 50 citizens who were unemployed six months earlier and ask them to report the duration. You find that the average time spent unemployed was 13.4 weeks with a sample standard deviation of the time unemployed is 6.7 weeks.

1 Which of the following statements is the correct alternative hypothesis?

2 The test statistic for testing the hypothesis is

a. -2.64

b. -2.32

c. -2.11

d. -1.28

e. none of these are correct

Answer:

1  

 The  alternative hypothesis  H_a  :  \mu < 15.9

2

The  test statistics z =  -2.64  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population  mean value for time  citizens remain unemployed is  \mu  =  15.9 \  weeks

     The  sample size is  n =  50

     The  sample standard deviation is  6.7 weeks.

      The  sample mean value for time  citizens remain unemployed is  \mu  =  15.9 \  weeks

       

     The  null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu \ge 15.9

      The  alternative hypothesis  H_a  :  \mu < 15.9

Generally test statistics is mathematically represented as

       z =  \frac{ \= x  - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  

=>    z =  \frac{13.4 - 15.9}{\frac{6.7}{\sqrt{50}}}

=>     z =  -2.64

Three more than twice the sum of a number and half the number equals 105. Which equation models this relationship?
AlekseyPX

Answer:2(x+1/2x)+3=105

Step-by-step explanation: that is how i got my answer. If not a similar answer i would go with 2x+3=3x+105.

You can automatically eliminate the first answer. The second one has a random 5, so eliminated. and the last one just isn't correct.

EQUATION 10y=80. yes or no. ​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                                           10*y-(80)=0

 Pull out like factors :

                                10y - 80  =   10 • (y - 8)

           Solve :    10   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

  Solve  :    y-8 = 0  

Add  8  to both sides of the equation :  

                     y = 8

6. Find d.<br><br><br> Please help
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we are going to do is to fill in the other angles that we need to solve this problem. You could find ALL of them but all of them isn't necessary. So looking at the obtuse angle next to the 35 degree angle...we know that those are supplementary so 180 - 35 = the obtuse angle in the small triangle. 180 - 35 = 145. Within the smaller triangle we have now the 145 and the 10, and since, by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem all the angles have to add up to equal 180, then 180 - (10 + 145) = the 3rd angle, so the third angle is 180 - 155 = 25. Now let's get to the problem. If I were you, I'd draw that out like I did to keep track of these angles cuz I'm going to name them by their degree. In order to find d, we need to first find the distance between d and the right angle. We'll call that x. The reference angle is 35, the side opposite that angle is 12 and the side we are looking for, x, is adjacent to that angle. So we will use the tan ratio to find x:

tan(35)=\frac{12}{x} Isolating x:

x=\frac{12}{tan(35)} so

x = 17.1377 m

Now we have everything we need to find d. We will use 25 degrees as our reference angle, and the side opposite it is 12 and the side adjacent to it is

d + 17.1377, so that is the tan ratio as well:

tan(25)=\frac{12}{d+17.1377} and simplifying a bit:

d+17.1377=\frac{12}{tan(25)} and a bit more:

d + 17.1377 = 25.73408 so

d = 8.59, rounded
