Answer:
b. 
f. 17 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Charges for coming to my house = $68 (this will be the constant of the equation)
Amount charged per hour labor = $17
hours = h
Total amount paid to Mike = 357
The equation that represents this situation can be expressed as:

Solve for h
(subtraction property of equality)

(division property of equality)

Mike was in my house for 17 hours.
Answer:
C. Decreases the margin of error and hence increases the precision
Step-by-step explanation:
If we select a sample by Simple Random Sampling in a population of “infinite” size (a population so large that we do not know its size exactly), then the margin of error is given by
where
<em>Z = The Z-score corresponding to the confidence level
</em>
<em>S = The estimated standard deviation of the population
</em>
<em>n = the size of the sample.
</em>
As we can see, since n is in the denominator of the fraction and the numerator is kept constant, the larger the sample size the smaller the margin of error, so the correct choice is:
C. Decreases the margin of error and hence increases the precision
Answer: 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we see that 4km is 1/2 of 8km.
So, we will have to find 1/2 of 5km.
1/2 of 5km = 2.5km
Your answer is 2.5km
