The answer is $12792

Explanation:

It is known Tessa pays $108.00 to contribute to family coverage every two weeks and this represents 18% of the total payment. This implies the employer pays the 82% missing (100% - 18% = 82%). Additionally, with this information, it is possible to know the amount the employer has to pay every two weeks that represents 82%. The process is shown below:

1. Write the values you know and use x to represent the value you need to find

108 = 18        

  x =   82      

3. Cross multiply

x 18 = 8856

4. Find  the value of x by solving this simple equation

x = 8856 ÷ 18

x = 492 - Amount the employer pays every two weeks for Tessa's family coverage

Now that we know the money the employer pays every two weeks, it is possible to calculate the annual amount of money. Follow the process below.

1. Consider one year has a total of 52 weeks and divide this number of weeks by 2 because the payment for the family coverage occurs every 2 weeks

52 ÷ 2 = 26

2. Finally, multiply the money paid by the employer every two weeks by 26

26 weeks x $492 = $12792- This is the total the employer pays annually

For what values of θ on the polar curve r=θ, with 0≤θ≤2π , are the tangent lines horizontal? Vertical?
Bond [772]
Given that r=\theta, then r'=1

The slope of a tangent line in the polar coordinate is given by:

m= \frac{r'\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{r'\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}

Thus, we have:

m= \frac{\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta}



Part A:

For horizontal tangent lines, m = 0.

Thus, we have:

\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta=0 \\  \\ \theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta \\  \\ \theta=- \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} =-\tan\theta

Therefore, the <span>values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are horizontal are:

</span><span>θ = 0

</span>θ = <span>2.02875783811043
</span>
θ = <span>4.91318043943488



Part B:

For vertical tangent lines, \frac{1}{m} =0

Thus, we have:

\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta\sin\theta=\cos\theta \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta= \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} =\sec\theta

</span>Therefore, the <span>values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are vertical are:

</span>θ = <span>4.91718592528713</span>

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi
ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles  carry just one person.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

P(x \geq 47)

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)

= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.
