Answer:3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 of the staff are male.  The entire staff is represented by the fraction 8/8.  Taking 5/8 from this, what we have left is

8/8-5/8 = 3/8 of the staff are female.

According to Okun's law, if the unemployment rate goes from 5% to 3%, what will be the effect on the GDP?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

D. It will increase by 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

u_1 = 5\% --- initial rate

u_2 = 3\% --- final rate

Required

The effect on the GDP

To calculate this, we make use of:

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = u_1 - 2\triangle u

This gives:

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(5\% - 3\%)

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(2\%)

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 4\%

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 1\%

<em>This implies that the GDP will increase by 1%</em>

The following histogram presents the amounts of silver (in parts per million) found in a sample of rocks. One rectangle from the
gladu [14]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The height of the missing rectangle is 0.15</em></u>

Explanation:

The image attached has the mentioned <em>histogram</em>.

Such histogram presents the relative frequencies for the clases [0,1], [1,2],[2,3], [4,5], and [5,6] Silver in ppm.

Only the rectangle for the class [3,4] is missing.

The height of each rectangle is the relative frequency of the corresponding class.

The relative frequencies must add 1, because each relative frequency is calculated dividing the absolute class frequency by the total number in the sample; hence, the sum of all the relative frequencies is equal to the total absolute class frequencies divided by the same number, yielding 1.

In consequence, you can sum all the known relative frequencies and subtract from 1 to get the missing relative frequency, which is the height of the missing rectangle.

<u>1. Sum of the known relative frequencies</u>:

  • 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.15 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.85

<u>2. Missing frequency</u>:

  • 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

<u>3. Conclusion</u>:

  • The height of the missing rectangle is 0.15

Which point is in the solution set of the given system of inequalities 3x+y&gt;-3,x+2y&lt;4
Dima020 [189]
Step 1. Solve both inequalities for y:
3x+y\ \textgreater \ -3
y\ \textgreater \ -3x-3

x+2y\ \textless \ 4
2y\ \textless \ -x+4
y\ \textless \ - \frac{1}{2} x+2

Step 2. To check a point in the solution of the given system of inequalities, look for the intercepts of the lines -3x-3 and - \frac{1}{2} x+2:

y=-3x-3 (1)
y=- \frac{1}{2} x+2 (2)

Replace (1) in (2):
-3x-3=- \frac{1}{2} x+2
Solve for x:
\frac{5}{2} x=-5
x=-2 (3)

Replace (3) in (1):
y=-3x-3
y=-3(-2)-3
y=6-3
y=3

We can conclude that the point (-2,3) is in the solution of the system if <span>inequalities</span>; also any point inside the dark shaded area of the graph of the system of inequalities is also a solution of the system.
