Divide 6 1/3 by 3/4
first, convert 6 1/3 to an improper fraction
6 1/3 --> 19/3
make the denominators match
19/3 --> 76/12
3/4 --> 9/12
then multiply 76/12 by the reciprocal of 9/12 (which is 12/9)
cross reduce, you get 76/9
convert back to a mixed number
76/9 --> 8 4/9
it would take 9 loads

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Statistics reports that the average annual salary in the metropolitan Boston area is $50,542. Suppos
xenn [34]

Answer:

(a) P(X > $57,000) = 0.0643

(b) P(X < $46,000) = 0.1423

(c) P(X > $40,000) = 0.0066

(d) P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = 0.6959

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that U.S. Bureau of Economic Statistics reports that the average annual salary in the metropolitan Boston area is $50,542.

Suppose annual salaries in the metropolitan Boston area are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $4,246.

<em>Let X = annual salaries in the metropolitan Boston area</em>

SO, X ~ Normal(\mu=$50,542,\sigma^{2} = $4,246^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

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

where, \mu = average annual salary in the Boston area = $50,542

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4,246

(a) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is more than $57,000 is given by = P(X > $57,000)

    P(X > $57,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma } > \frac{57,000-50,542}{4,246 } ) = P(Z > 1.52) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.52)

                                                                     = 1 - 0.93574 = <u>0.0643</u>

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.52 in the z table which gave an area of 0.93574</em>.

(b) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is less than $46,000 is given by = P(X < $46,000)

    P(X < $46,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma } < \frac{46,000-50,542}{4,246 } ) = P(Z < -1.07) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.07)

                                                                     = 1 - 0.85769 = <u>0.1423</u>

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.07 in the z table which gave an area of 0.85769</em>.

(c) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is more than $40,000 is given by = P(X > $40,000)

    P(X > $40,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma } > \frac{40,000-50,542}{4,246 } ) = P(Z > -2.48) = P(Z < 2.48)

                                                                     = 1 - 0.99343 = <u>0.0066</u>

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.48 in the z table which gave an area of 0.99343</em>.

(d) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is between $45,000 and $54,000 is given by = P($45,000 < X < $54,000)

    P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = P(X < $54,000) - P(X \leq $45,000)

    P(X < $54,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma } < \frac{54,000-50,542}{4,246 } ) = P(Z < 0.81) = 0.79103

    P(X \leq $45,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma } \leq \frac{45,000-50,542}{4,246 } ) = P(Z \leq -1.31) = 1 - P(Z < 1.31)

                                                                      = 1 - 0.90490 = 0.0951

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.81 and x = 1.31 in the z table which gave an area of 0.79103 and 0.9049 respectively</em>.

Therefore, P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = 0.79103 - 0.0951 = <u>0.6959</u>

Which expression is equivalent to (r Superscript negative 7 Baseline) Superscript 6? r Superscript 42 StartFraction 1 Over r Sup
vodomira [7]

Power rule of exponents says that the power of the power of a exponent is equal to the multiplying both the powers. The expression which is equal to the given expression is,

\dfrac{1}{(r)^{42}}

The option B is the correct option.

Given information-

The given expression in the problem is,

[(r)^{-7}]^5

<h3>Power rule of exponents</h3>

Power rule of exponents says that the power of the power of a exponent is equal to the multiplying both the powers.

Suppose<em> </em><em>x</em> is a number with power <em>a. </em>The power is power of the power of number <em>x. </em>Then by the power rule of the exponents,

(x^a)^b=x^{ab}

Using the power rule of the exponents given expression can be written as,

[(r)^{-7}]^6=(r)^{-7\times 6} &#10;

[(r)^{-7}]^6=(r)^{-42}

<h3>Negative exponents rule</h3>

Negative exponents rule says that when a power of a number is negative, then write the number in the denominator with the same power with positive sign.Thus,

[(r)^{-7}]^6=\dfrac{1}{(r)^{42}}

Hence the expression which is equal to the given expression is,

\dfrac{1}{(r)^{42}}

The option B is the correct option.

Is this correct or no
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A.

The slope-intercept form is y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

The problem with B is that if you take out the coordinates for x₁ and y₁, you get the coordinates (1,4). This coordinate does not land on the line.

The coordinates for A is (-1,4). This point does land on the line.
