Answer: False
The Fermi Process is a fast way to calculate an estimate (usually done with mental math or math you can do on the back of an envelope or napkin). It's unlikely you'll get the exact answer, though you should be fairly close. To make the math more simple, rounding is done.
Question:
The majority of U.S. car owners still buy American cars." Ideally, what would the sample be in the study that generated this stat?
answer choices
a) Everyone in the United States who owns a car
b) Everyone in the United States who owns an American car
c) A randomly selected group of car owners in the U.S.
d) A randomly selected group of Americans who own American cars
Answer:
A randomly selected group of car owners in the U.S.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this study, we are told the majority of U.S car owners still buy American cars. The sample in the study that generated this stat would be "a randomly selected group of car owners in the U.S".
⬤ Option A is incorrect, because collecting a sample from every car owner in U.S is impossible as the sample size would be rather tool large.
⬤ Option B is also incorrect because just like in option A, the sample size would be too large. Also this does not take into consideration those who don't use American cars
⬤ Option D is incorrect, this study deals with all car owners in the U.S, not Americans who own American cars. Therefore selecting a sample from Americans who own American cars would be wrong.

Answer:
$962.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start from the first sentence of the word problem and work from there.
First, the employee is working for 40 hours at $18.50 per hour. This means that for each hour, the employee is gaining $18.50 . This can be represented as $18.50 * 40 = $740 for their base pay.
Next, the employee works 8 hours of overtime at 1.5 * base pay (18.50). For each hour of overtime they work, they earn 1.5 * 18.50 = $27.75 dollars. Their earnings from overtime work for the week can be represented as
8 * 27.75 = $222
Because all the employee's hours are encompassed in overtime and base pay, we can add the two together to get
740 + 222 = $962.00 for their total pay for the week
