The probability that the payroll for one week contained overtime wages or temporary help is \boxed{\frac{10}{13}}.

Further explanation:

It is given that during a 52 week period, a company paid overtime wages for 19 weeks and hired temporary help for 11 weeks.

During 5 weeks, the company paid overtime and hired temporary help.

Calculation:

A company paid overtime wages for 19 weeks and 5 weeks during the 52 week period.

Therefore, the probability of overtime wages P(O) is calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}P(O)&=\dfrac{19}{52}+\dfrac{5}{52}\\&=\dfrac{19+5}{52}\\&=\dfrac{24}{52}\end{aligned}

The probability of overtime wages is \frac{24}{52}.  

The same company hired temporary help for 11 weeks and 5 weeks during the 52 week period.

Therefore, the probability of temporary help P(H) is calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}P(H)&=\dfrac{11}{52}+\dfrac{5}{52}\\&=\dfrac{11+5}{52}\\&=\dfrac{16}{52}\end{aligned}  

The probability of temporary help is \frac{16}{52}.  

Now, the combined probability P that the payroll for one week contained overtime wages or temporary help is calculated by adding the probabilities of overtime wages and temporary help as follows:

\begin{aligned}P&=\dfrac{24}{52}+\dfrac{16}{52}\\&=\dfrac{24+16}{52}\\&=\dfrac{40}{52}\\&=\dfrac{10}{13}\end{aligned}

 

The probability that the payroll for one week contained overtime wages or temporary help is \boxed{\dfrac{10}{13}}.

P(overtime wage) = 19/52 + 5/52 = 24/52
P(temp help wage) = 11/52 + 5/52 = 16/52
P(overtime or temp help) = P(overtime) + P(temp help)
= 24/52 + 16/52
= 40/52 = 10/13

Jerome found the lengths of each side of triangle QRS as shown, but did not simplify his answers. Simplify the lengths of each s
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

D. Triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle because QR = RS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the length of each side of the triangle using the formula for calculating the distance between two points.

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For side RS

R(0,0) and S(5, -3.322)

RS = √(5-0)²+(-3.322-0)²

RS = √25+11.035684

RS = √36.035684

RS = 6.0029

For side RQ

R(0,0) and Q(-3, -5.2)

RQ = √(-3-0)²+(-5.2-0)²

RQ = √9+27.04

RQ = √36.04

RQ = 6.0033

For side QS

Q(-3,-5.2) and S(5, -3.322)

QS = √(5+3)²+(-3.322+5.2)²

QS = √64+3.526884

QS = √67.526884

QS = 8.22

From the calculation it can be seen that RS=QR

Since the two sides f the triangle are equal, hence the triangle is an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two of its sides equal

In a sample of 42 burritos, we found a sample mean 1.4 lb and assumed that sigma equals.5. In a test of the hypothesis H subscri
Sergio [31]

Answer:

D. 0.9953 (Probability of a Type II error), 0.0047 (Power of the test)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first remember that a Type II error is to NOT reject H0 when it is false, and the probability of that occurring is known as β. On the other hand, power refers to the probability of rejecting H0 when it is false, so it can be calculated as 1 - β.

To resolve this we are going to use the Z-statistic:

                                           Z = (X¯ - μ0) / (σ/√n)

where  μ0 = 1.2

            σ = 5

            n = 42

As we can see in part A of the attached image, we have the normal distribution curve representation for this test, and because this is a two-tailed test, we split the significance level of α=0.01 evenly into the two tails, 0.005 in each tail, and if we look for the Z critical value for those values in a standard distribution Z table we will find that that value is 2.576.

Now we need to stablish the equation that will telll us for what values of X¯ will we reject H0.

Reject if:

Z ≤ -2.576                                                          Z ≥ 2.576

We know the equation for the Z-statistic, so we can substitute like follows and resolve.

Reject if:

(X¯ - 1.2) / (5/√42) ≤ -2.576                          (X¯ - 1.2) / (5/√42) ≥ 2.576

X¯ ≤ -0.79                                                         X¯ ≥ 3.19

We have the information that the true population mean is 1.25, so we now for a fact that H0 is false, so with this we can calculate the probability of a Type II error:  P(Do not reject H0 | μ=1.25)

As we can see in part B of the attached image, we can stablish that the type II error will represent the probability of the sample mean (X¯) falling between -0.79 and 3.19 when μ=1.25, and that represents the shaded area. So now we now that we are looking for P(-0.79 < X¯ < 3.19 | μ=1.25).

Because we know the equation of Z, we are going to standardize this as follows:

P ( (-0.79 - 1.25) / (5/√42) < Z <  (3.19 - 1.25) / (5/√42) )

This equals to:

P(-2.64 < Z < 2.51)

If we go and look for the area under the curve for Z positive scores in a normal standart table (part C of attached image), we will find that that area is 0.9940, which represents the probability of a Type II error.

Therefore, the power of the test will be 1-0.9940 = 0.006

If we look at the options of answers we have, there is no option that looks like this results, which means there was a probable redaction error, so we are going to stay with the closest option to these values which is option D.
