The mean salary of 5 employees is $33700. The median is $34600. The mode is $35600. If the median paid employee gets a $3500 rai

se, then ...
Hint: It will help to write down what salaries you know of the five and think about how you normally calculate mean,median, and mode.

a) What is the new mean? (3 point)
New Mean = $


b) What is the new median?
New Median = $


c) What is the new mode?
New Mode = $

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean = 33700

Median = 34600

Mode = 35600

The mean is the average, the median is the middle number, and the mode is the most common number.

a)

First, we need to find the new mean (average) if one of the employees gets a 3500 raise.  The average is the total salary divided by number of employees:

(5 × 33700 + 3500) / 5 = 34400

b)

The mode is the most common number in a set.  Since there are only five employees, and the mode is different than the median, then the two highest earners must have the same salary.  The salaries from smallest to largest is therefore:

?, ?, 34600, 35600, 35600

When the median gets the 3500 raise, the set becomes:

?, ?, 35600, 35600, 38100

So the new median is 35600.

c)

The most common number is still 35600.  So the mode hasn't changed: 35600.

Mitch used 1 4 pounds of beef to make 3 4 liters of beef strogonoff. If Mitch's recipe is for 1 liter of beef strogonoff, how ma
iren [92.7K]

option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u>step 1 </u>:

Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff

'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff

<u>step 2</u> :

Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters

(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)

x = 14/34

x = 0.412

1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef

<u>step 3</u> :

To make 6 times the recipe = 6 \times 0.412

                                              = 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)

Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is national You may use the following fact: For any integer kirke
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Let us proof that √3 is an irrational number, using <em>reductio ad absurdum</em>. Assume that \sqrt{3}=\frac{m}{n} where  m and n are non negative integers, and the fraction \frac{m}{n} is irreducible, i.e., the numbers m and n have no common factors.

Now, squaring the equality at the beginning we get that

3=\frac{m^2}{n^2} (1)

which is equivalent to 3n^2=m^2. From this we can deduce that 3 divides the number m^2, and necessarily 3 must divide m. Thus, m=3p, where p is a non negative integer.

Substituting m=3p into (1), we get

3= \frac{9p^2}{n^2}

which is equivalent to

n^2=3p^2.

Thus, 3 divides n^2 and necessarily 3 must divide n. Hence, n=3q where q is a non negative integer.

Notice that

\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3p}{3q} = \frac{p}{q}.

The above equality means that the fraction \frac{m}{n} is reducible, what contradicts our initial assumption. So, \sqrt{3} is irrational.

2. Let us prove now that the multiplication of an integer and a rational number is a rational number. So, r\in\mathbb{Q}, which is equivalent to say that r=\frac{m}{n} where  m and n are non negative integers. Also, assume that k\in\mathbb{Z}. So, we want to prove that k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Z}. Recall that an integer k can be written as

k=\frac{k}{1}.

Then,

k\cdot r = \frac{k}{1}\frac{m}{n} = \frac{mk}{n}.

Notice that the product mk is an integer. Thus, the fraction \frac{mk}{n} is a rational number. Therefore, k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Q}.

3. Let us prove by <em>reductio ad absurdum</em> that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number. So, we have x is irrational and p\in\mathbb{Q}.

Write q=x+p and let us suppose that q is a rational number. So, we get that

x=q-p.

But the subtraction or addition of two rational numbers is rational too. Then, the number x must be rational too, which is a clear contradiction with our hypothesis. Therefore, x+p is irrational.
