The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown :

The timing shown in the morning is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

It is given that, the pay is $12.5 per hour.

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The timing shown in the afternoon is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

Therefore, the pay earned in the afternoon = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The pay for 1 day = pay earned in the morning section + pay earned in the afternoon section.

⇒ 53.125 + 53.125

⇒ 106.25

∴ The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

A particular baseball player has a batting average (number of hits/number of times at bat) of 0.364. What is the probability tha

MAXImum [283]

The correct answer is option (c) P(not a hit) = 0.636

The batting average of the baseball player = $\frac{number of hits}{number of times at bat}$ = 0.364

Now, the probability of occurrence of any event is say, P, the probability of not occurrence of the event is given as = 1 - P

Therefore, the probability that he will not get a hit at his next at bat = 1- 0.364 = 0.636

If P(n) and Q(n) are polynomials of degree j and k, respectively, then the series

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

converges

Step-by-step explanation:

well the two polynomials in the series are 1 and n^8 (I'm assuming the +7 is not in the decimal but it seems to not matter). The degree of the polynomial 1 is 0 which can be represented by 1x^0. The second polynomial in the denominator has a degree of 8. So j = 0 and k = 8. Since 0 < (8-1)

0 < 7 the series converges

Write a proof for the biconditional using the inverse and contrapositive.

MariettaO [177]

I don’t really understand the question at hand but let me try to help

X is equal to 4 we know this because because the sign in between the number means greater than or equal to so 3 x 4 equals 12 and that makes the equation on right true and on the left x is also equal to for which also makes the statement on the right true as well so I think X = 4

I hope I was able to help and If not I’m sorry

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME represent the margin of error

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

2) Solution to the problem

Since the new Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
