Answer:

a) 0.0026

P- value is <em>0.0026</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given data

first sample size n₁= 80

mean of the first sample  x⁻₁= $6.75

Standard deviation of the first sample   (σ₁) = $1.00

second sample size (n₂) = 60

mean of the second sample( x₂⁻) = $6.25

Standard deviation of the second sample (σ₂) = $0.95

<u><em>step(ii):-</em></u>

<em>Test statistic </em>

Z = \frac{x^{-} _{1} -x^{-} _{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{(S.D)_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1} } +\frac{(S.D)_{2} ^{2} }{n_{2} } } }  

<em>   </em><u><em>Null Hypothesis :H₀</em></u><em>: There is no significant difference in wages across the two employers.</em>

<em> x⁻₁= x₂⁻</em>

<em>Alternative Hypothesis :H₁: There is significant difference in wages across the two employers.</em>

<em>x⁻₁≠ x₂⁻</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>Z = \frac{6.75 -6.25 }{\sqrt{\frac{(1^{2}  }{80 } +\frac{((0.95)^{2}  }{60} } }<em></em>

<em>Z = 3.01</em>

<u><em>P- value:-</em></u>

Given data is two tailed test

The test statistic Z = 3.01

First we have to find the Probability of z-statistic

<em>P(Z>3.01) =  1- P( z <3.01)</em>

<em>                  = 1- (0.5 + A(3.01)</em>

<em>                 = 0.5 - A(3.01)</em>

<em>              =    0.5 - 0.49865   ( from normal table)</em>

<em>              = 0.0013</em>

<em>P(Z>3.125) = 0.0013</em>

<em>Given two tailed test </em>

<em>    P- value = 2 × P( Z > 3.01)</em>

<em>                  = 2 × 0.0013</em>

<em>                 = 0.0026</em>

<u><em>Final answer</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>The calculated value Z = 3.125 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance</em>

<em>null hypothesis is rejected</em>

<u><em>Conclusion:-</em></u>

P- value is <em>0.0026</em>

suppose you are the financial manager of the International Emirates University IEU. And you are requested at the end of the year
Irina18 [472]
So what this is is
many words

assuming year 0 is 2017

so compound first thing till 2020, take out 30000
the remaining is copmpounded til 2022, take out 50000
remaining is compounded for 1 more year and that is equal to 80000

so from 2017 to 2020, that is 5 years
from 2020 to 2022 is 2 years
from 2022 to 2023 is 1 year


work backwards

A=P(r+1)^t
last one
A=80000
P=?
r=0.08
t=1 year

80000=P(1.08)^1
divide both sides by 1.08
I would leave in fraction
20000000/27=P

now that is the remaining after paying 50000, after 2 years of compounding

so
50000+(2000000/27)=P(1.08)^2
solve using math
about
106374=P

now reverse back

5 years
paid 30000

30000+106374=P(1.08)^5
solve using math
92813.526=P
round
$92813.53




put $92813.53 in the fund

The function h(t) = -16t^2 + 16t represents the height (in feet) of a horse (t) seconds after it jumps during a steeplechase.
Vladimir79 [104]
A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.

h'(t) = -32t + 16

When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.

-32t + 16 = 0

-32t = -16

t = 0.5 seconds

b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.

h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet

If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.

c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0. 

-16t^2 + 16t = 0

-16t(t-1)=0

t = 0 and 1

So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.

Pleasee help me with this anyone..
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set up a proportion

Let x = NK

7/13 = x/56    Notice that the longest side of the small trapezoid is the denominator of the fraction  on the left. That means that the longest side of the large trapezoid must also be the denominator of that fraction on the right.

Cross multiply

13x = 7*56                Combine the right

13x = 392                 Divide by 13

x = 392/13

x = 30.15

NK = 30.15
