Answer:

  $1,956.80

Step-by-step explanation:

For amounts over $6000, the commission can be computed as ...

  0.14s -300 . . . . . . for sales (s) ≥ 6000

So, for $16,120 in sales, the commission is ...

  0.14×$16,120 -300 = $2,256.80 -300 = $1,956.80

__

The commission schedule suggests that for larger amounts, you divide the problem into two parts: calculate the commission on $6000, and separately calculate the commission on the amount over $6000.

  0.14(s -6000) + 0.09(6000)

  = 0.14s - 0.14·6000 +0.09·6000

  = 0.14s -300 . . . . the formula used above for s ≥ 6000

U − -23<br> _______ = -8<br> -9 <br><br> Solve for u<br> Thanks!
Romashka [77]

Answer:

u=95

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to isolate 'u' variable using properties of equation.

Lets multiply by -9 the whole equation

u - -23=-8*9

Remember keys features of algebra:

- * - = +

- * += -

+ * - = -

+ * + =+

So, our equations becomes>

u+23=-72

Lets now subtract 23 to both sides

u-23=-72-23

We have u=95

The city of Raleigh has 11700 registered voters. There are two candidates for city council in an upcoming election: Brown and Fe
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown is 0.308.

The expected numbers of voters who would vote for Brown is 3604.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample statistic is a numerical quantity used to represent a characteristic of a sample. For example, sample mean is a sample statistic representing the average of the sample. Or, sample proportion is a sample statistic representing the proportion of a particular variable in the sample. Or sample variance is a sample statistic representing the variance of the sample.

The sample statistic can be used to estimate the population parameter.

They are known as the point estimate of the parameter.

The sample proportion of a variable <em>X</em> is given by:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}

It is provided that of the <em>n</em> = 250 registered voters selected, the number of voters who said they would vote for Brown is <em>X </em>= 77.

Compute the sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown as follows:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}

  =\frac{77}{250}\\

  =0.308

Thus, the sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown is 0.308.

Compute the expected number of people of the 11700 registered voters who would vote for Brown as follows:

E(X)=N\times \hat p

         =11700\times 0.308\\=3603.6\\\approx 3604

Thus, the expected numbers of voters who would vote for Brown is 3604.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,0) and
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (32, - 5)

m = \frac{-5-0}{32-2} = \frac{-5}{30} = - \frac{1}{6}
