Given =

Marcus earned $54,000 last year. social s ecurity tax was 6.2% and medicare tax was 1.45%

Find out  he pay in Social Security and Medicare taxes last year.

To proof

Marcus earned last year = $ 54000

Social Security tax = 6.2%

Medicare tax = 1.45%

First find out the  social security tax

6.2 % written in the simpler form = \frac{6.2}{100}

                                                       = 0.062

Social Security tax last year = .062×54000

                                              = $ 3348

find out Medicare taxes

1.45% Medicare tax written in the simpler form = \frac{1.45}{100}

                                                                             = 0.0145

Medicare taxes last year = 0.0145 × 54000

                                        = $743

Total tax  last year  = $743 + $3348

                                = $ 4131

Hence proved

Answer

Social security tax amount = $3348

Medicare tax amount = $743

Step by step explanation

The amount earned by Marcus = $54000

Social security tax = 6.2% = 6.2/100 = 0.062

Social security tax amount = 54000*0.062

Social security tax amount = $3348

Medicare tax = 1.45% = 1.45/100 = 0.0145

Medicare tax amount = 54000*0.0145

Medicare tax amount = $743

Hope this will help you.

According to the American Lung Association, 7% of the population has lung disease. Of those having lung disease, 90% are smokers
postnew [5]

Answer:

Probability that a smoker has lung disease = 0.2132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = event that % of population having lung disease, P(L) = 0.07

So,% of population not having lung disease, P(L') = 1 - P(L) = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93

S = event that person is smoker

% of population that are smokers given they are having lung disease, P(S/L) = 0.90

% of population that are smokers given they are not having lung disease, P(S/L') = 0.25

We know that, conditional probability formula is given by;

                        P(S/L) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(L)}  

                        P(S\bigcap L) = P(S/L) * P(L)

                                      = 0.90 * 0.07 = 0.063

So,  P(S\bigcap L) = 0.063 .

Now, probability that a smoker has lung disease is given by = P(L/S)

      P(L/S) = \frac{P(S\bigcap L)}{P(S)}

P(S) = P(S/L) * P(L) + P(S/L') * P(L')

       = 0.90 * 0.07 + 0.25 * 0.93 = 0.2955

Therefore, P(L/S) = \frac{0.063}{0.2955} = 0.2132

Hence, probability that a smoker has lung disease is 0.2132 .

The graph of f(x) shown below has the same shape as the graph of g (x) = x^2 but it is shifted to the left 2 units. what is the
mariarad [96]

Answer:

  C.  F(x) = (x+2)²

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal shift to the right by "h" units is achieved by replacing x with (x-h). The shift we want is to the left by 2 units, so h = -2, and we have ...

  f(x) = g(x -(-2)) = g(x+2)

  f(x) = (x+2)²
