An equation that could be used to find the percent change, p, in the number of employees is:

\begin{array}{l}{p=\frac{\text {change in number of employees}}{\text {previous count}} \times 100} \\\\ {\mathrm{p}=\frac{9}{115} \times 100}\end{array}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, Over the course of a year, a company goes from 115 employees to 124 employees.

Given that "p" represents the percent change

Percentage change equals the change in value divided by the absolute value of the original value, multiplied by 100.

\text { Percent change "p" }=\frac{\text { change in number of employees }}{\text { previous count }} \times 100

Change in number of employees = present count – previous count

So, change in number of employees = 124 – 115 = 9

\begin{array}{l}{p=\frac{9}{115} \times 100} \\\\ {p=\frac{9}{23} \times 20} \\\\ {p=\frac{180}{23}=7.82}\end{array}

The equation that is used to find the percent change is:

\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{p}=\frac{\text { change in number of employees }}{\text { previous count }} \times 100} \\\\ {\mathrm{p}=\frac{9}{115} \times 100}\end{array}

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8,2) and has an undefined slope?
astra-53 [7]

Answer: x = -8

Step-by-step explanation: Since this line has <em>no slope</em>, it must be <em>vertical</em>.

The equation of a vertical line through a given point can

always be written x = the x-coordinate of the given point.

So the answer to this problem is x = -8.

In the diagram below, the angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to a speed boat is 27 degrees.  The base of the lig
elixir [45]

Answer:

=

412

feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is always measured from the horizontal.

A triangle is formed by the lighthouse, the ground and the boat. The angle of depression is not in the triangle, but it is equal to the angle of elevation at the boat. (Alternate angles on parallel lines)

The angle at the top of the lighthouse, inside the triangle is:

90°−27°

=63°

The distance to the boat is the side opposite the angle of

63°

while the height of the lighthouse is the adjacent side.

opposite

adjacent

=tan 63°

distance

210=tan 63°

distance=210×tan 63°=412 feet

Students in a statistics class are conducting a survey to estimate the mean number of units students at their college are enroll
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in is between 11.7 and 12.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 45 - 1 = 44

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 44 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{45}} = 0.4

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 12.1 - 0.4 = 11.7 units

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 12.1 + 0.4 = 12.5 units

The 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in is between 11.7 and 12.5 units.

1.A rectangle is 6 inches longer than its wide.Write and simply an expression for the perimeter of the rectangle.
iris [78.8K]
P = 2L + 2W
L = W + 6
P = 2(W + 6) + 2W
P = 2W + 12 + 2W
P = 4W + 12

5 + 2(3x + 4) + x
5 + 6x + 8 + x
5 + 8 + 6x + x
13 + 7x Stop Don't go any further. That's the 11th commandment: Thou shalt not combine unlike terms.

Paul has a long drive. If Shelly waits up she better have some snacks
4*65 + x = 500 The x stands for the number of miles left to go
270 + x = 500 Subtract 280 from both sides
x = 500 - 270
x = 230

Just so you know if he keeps going at 65 mph the amount time will be
230/65 = 3.53 hours.
