Suzanne owns a small business that employs 5 other people. Suzanne makes $100,000 per year and the 5 employees make between $40,

000and $50,000 per year. Suzanne decides to increase her salary per year and leave the rest of the salaries the same. How will increasing her salary affect the mean and median? plz help i know my account says high school but im only 11.

The mean will increase, because it's the sum of the salaries divided by the number of the salaries.

the median will still be the same because it's the value in the middle. since she only increased her salary (and she has the highest salary), the value in the middle didn't change.

The correct answer is B.

To increase the median you have to add or subtract a whole number from the set.  Because this just changed the value of one of them the median stays the same.

Stanley, the skunk, is traveling from point A to point B by taking a shortcut through the pond.A path that avoids the pond is 25
san4es73 [151]
Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.

This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.

If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.

A random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength
irinina [24]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength μ = 5500 psi and the standard deviation is σ = 100 psi.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\bar X<u><em> = sample mean comprehensive strength</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                          Z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean comprehensive strength = 5500 psi

            \sigma = standard deviation = 100 psi

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is given by = P(\bar X > 4985 psi)

    P(\bar X > 4985 psi) = P( \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{4985-5500}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{9} } } ) = P(Z > -15.45) = P(Z < 15.45)

                                                                  = <u>0.99999</u>

<em>Since in the z table the highest critical value of x for which a probability area is given is x = 4.40 which is 0.99999, so we assume that our required probability will be equal to 0.99999.</em>

A circle with circumference 20 has an arc with 72 degree central angle what is length of the arc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

<h2>4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Look at the picture.</em>

<em />

<em>At the beginning we have to calculate what part of the angle 360° is the given angle 75°.</em>

<em />\dfrac{75}{360}=75:360=0.2<em />

<em>The same part of the circumference of the circle is the arc defined by this central angle.</em>

The circumference <em>C = 20</em>.

Therefore

x=0.2\cdot20=4

A camper wants to know the width of a river. From point A, he walks downstream 60 feet to point B and sights a canoe across the
Anarel [89]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is:

D. 40 feet.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:

Tan\alpha =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

Where,

alpha is the given angle, 34°

Adjacent is the distance from A to B, which is equal to 60 feet.

Opposite is the distance from A to C which is also equal to the width of the river.

So, substituting and calculating we have:

Tan(34\°) =\frac{Width}{60ft}

Width=60ft*Tan(34\°)=60ft*0.67=40.2ft=40ft

Hence, we have that the correct option is:

D. 40 feet.

Have a nice day!
