Answer: the electrician's hourly labor rate is $29.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the electrician's hourly labor rate.

electrician charges a $40 dollar fee to make a house call plus an hourly rate for labor. This means that the total bill for a job that takes y hours would be expressed as

xy + 40

If the total bill for a job that takes 2 hours comes to $99, it means that

2x + 40 = 99

2x = 99 - 40

2x = 59

x = 59/2 = 29.5

What is the constant of proportionality in the table below?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:  \dfrac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality 'k' between two variables ( one independent and one dependent ) is given by :-

k=\dfrac{\text{Value of dependent variable}}{\text{Value of independent variable}}

In the given table, independent variable = Days

Dependent variable = Total Miles

From first row,  Days = 3

Total Miles = 1\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{5}

Then, the constant of proportionality in the table

k=\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{5}}{3}=\dfrac{6}{5\times3}=\dfrac{2}{5}

Hence, the constant of proportionality in the table is \dfrac{2}{5} .

Chocolate chip cookies have a distribution that is approximately normal with a mean of 24.1 chocolate chips per cookie and a sta
garik1379 [7]
P5

From Z tables and at P5 = 5% = 0.05, Z = -1.645
Therefore,
True value = mean +Z*SD = 24.1+(-1.645*2.1) = 20.6455 Chips per cookie

P95

From Z table and at P95=95%=0.95, Z= 1.645
Therefore,
True value = 24.1 +(1.645*2.1) = 27.5545 Chips per cookie

These values shows the percentages of amount of chips in the cookies. Thus, the more the percentage considered, the more the amount of chips in the cookies. This can be used to control the number of chips in cookies during production.
