Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2 hours, the clerical secretary can do 1/4 of the job. (The executive secretary does 3/4 of the job - or 3 times as much - in the same 2 hours.)

Since it takes the clerical secretary 2 hours to do 1/4 of the job, it will take them four times that to do it themselves. 2x4=8.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

132 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I would figure out the areas of the right triangles

Left triangle:  1/2(6x8) =24 units²

Right triangle:  1/2(8x3) = 12 units²

entire rectangle between triangles: 12x8 = 96 units²

add all areas together:  24+12+96 = 132 units²

The boxplot below shows salaries for CPAs and Actuaries in a town. 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Salary (thousands of $) Actuary CPA
GuDViN [60]

Answer: 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question, we have to know the meaning of a box plot. Boxplots are especially useful in statistical analysis and gives us a meaningful range of values. A box plot consists of 2 shapes, which are the box part and the extended lines. The short sides of the  box and the vertical line in the middle of the box represent a certain percentage of the values. The vertical line in the boxplot is the median of your dataset. For example, according to the shape given in the question, the median value for CPA's is 50 and this is closer to the left side of the box. This means that the first half ogf the dataset (when ranked from the smallest to the greatest) is closer to each other. The sides of the box represent the values at the 25% and 75% of the values respectfully.

For example, if we have 100 values, we rank them in order and the 25th value corresponds to the left side of the boxplot (named first quartile), 50th value (which is also the median)  corresponds the vertical line in the box and and the 75the value corresponds to the right side of the box (named third quartile).

The extended arms are calculated as accordingly: IQR=(3rd quartile value-1st quartile value). Left extended arm is first quartile-1.5*IQR and right extended arm is third quartile+1.5*IQR. However, this information is not directly related to this question.

Now, this question should seem simpler. The median salary of CPA is 50 and this is equal to left side of the Actuary boxplot, which corresponds to the 25% of actuaries. As a result, CPA median salary is less than 75% of the Actuaries (100%-25%).

401(k) accounts are those that are partially funded by employers using a portion of wages before tax: true or false?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false because 401(k) accounts are not funded by employer's wages but  <em>employees' </em>wages ; the latter voluntarily make contributions to a retirement account that is taken out of their wages before taxes . Employers on the other hand may partially or fully match a portion of these contributions.
