Determine the total annual fica tax for an annual salary of $38,480.

egoroff_w [7]

The annual FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) tax is composed of two parts: Social Security and Medicare Taxes. On the employee's side, he/she has to shoulder 6.2% of the annual salary for the Social Security Tax, and 1.45% of the annual salary for the Medicare Tax. So in total, FICA takes 7.65% of your annual salary as tax. To calculate the FICA tax to be paid, this is shown below:

$38,480 x 7.65% = $2943.72

Therefore, for an annual salary of $38,480, $2943.72 goes into FICA tax payment.

Problem: The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72

Lisa [10]

Answer:

0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

Gestation periods:

1) 0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.

2) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3) 0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4) 0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these questions, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72 inches and standard deviation 3.17 inches.

This means that $\mu = 38.72, \sigma = 3.17$

Sample of 10:

This means that $n = 10, s = \frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}$

Compute the probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 40. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{40 - 38.72}{\frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}}$

$Z = 1.28$

$Z = 1.28$ has a p-value of 0.8997

1 - 0.8997 = 0.1003

0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

Gestation periods:

$\mu = 266, \sigma = 16$

1. What is the probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 260. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{260 - 266}{16}$

$Z = -0.375$

$Z = -0.375$ has a p-value of 0.3539.

0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.

2. What is the probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now $n = 20$ , so:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{20}}}$

$Z = -1.68$

$Z = -1.68$ has a p-value of 0.0465.

0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now $n = 50$ , so:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{50}}}$

$Z = -2.65$

$Z = -2.65$ has a p-value of 0.0040.

0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4. What is the probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean?

Sample of size 15 means that $n = 15$ . This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 276 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 256.

X = 276

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{276 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}$

$Z = 2.42$

$Z = 2.42$ has a p-value of 0.9922.

X = 256

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{256 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}$

$Z = -2.42$

$Z = -2.42$ has a p-value of 0.0078.

0.9922 - 0.0078 = 0.9844

0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Identify the transformation from figure A to figure B in the image below.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the transformation that yielded figure B from figure A

Looking at the plot, we can see that we have the origin as the center of transformation

The kind of transformation however is reflection

The shape A was reflected about the origin or the point (0,0) to give shape B
