Recall the scenario about Eric's weekly wages in the lesson practice section. Eric's boss have been very impressed with his work

. He has given him a $2 raise and now Eric earns $12 an hour. His boss also has increased Eric's hours to 10 to 25 hours per week. The restrictions remain the same; he needs to work a full-hour in order to get the hourly wage working 1.5 hour does not pay him for 1.5 hours but for one hour. Tasks: Consider the scenario and restrictions and interpret the work hour and potential earning relation as a function. Express the relation in the following formats: 1. Function equation 2. Domain of the function in the set notation (Would domain (work hours) be infinite?(write the domain in the set notation) 3. Range of the function in the set notation (Would the range (weekly wage) be infinite(write the range in the set notation) 4. Sketch the function and plot the points for his earnings.

Answer:  

1)\quad f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll}12x&0\leq x

2) D: x = [0, 24]

3) R: y = [0, 384]

4) see graph

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Eric's regular wage is $12 per hour for all hours less than 9 hours.

The minimum number of hours Eric can work each day is 0.

f(x) = 12x    for   0 ≤ x < 9

Eric's overtime wage is $18 per hour for 9 hours and greater.

The maximum number of hours Eric can work each day is 24 (because there are only 24 hours in a day).

f(x) = 18(x - 8) + 12(8)

    = 18x - 144 + 96

    = 18x - 48           for 9 ≤ x ≤ 24

The daily wage where x represents the number of hours worked can be displayed in function format as follows:

f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll}12x&0\leq x

2) Domain represents the x-values (number of hours Eric can work).

The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0 and the maximum he can work in one day is 24.

D:  0 ≤ x ≤ 24        →        D: x = [0, 24]

3) Range represents the y-values (wage Eric will earn).

Eric's wage depends on the number of hours he works. Use the Domain (given above) to find the wage.

The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0.

f(x) = 12x

f(0) = 12(0)

     =  0

The maximum hours he can work in one day is 24 <em>(although unlikely, it is theoretically possible).</em>

f(x) = 18x - 48

f(24) = 18(24) - 48

       = 432 - 48

       = 384

D:  0 ≤ y ≤ 384        →        D: x = [0, 384]

4) see graph.

Notice that there is an open dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 12x

and a closed dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 18x - 48

1. Lucy has a jewelry business. To make a certain necklace, she spends $3.38 on materials and $5.57 on labor. She then sells the
son4ous [18]
<span>(a) $7.04 (b) 704/1599 (c) 0.44 (d) 14 (e) $98.56 (a) How much profit does Lucy earn when she sells a necklace? Since the problem states that her profit is the sale price minus the cost of materials and labor, we have the following equation. P = $15.99 - $3.38 - $5.57 P = $12.61 - $5.57 P = $7.04 So her profit is $7.04 per necklace. (b) Write a fraction of the profit per sale price of the necklace. Record your answer as a fraction using whole numbers. The raw fraction is 7.04/15.99, to get rid of the decimal point, multiply top and bottom by 100, getting 704/1599. The prime factors of 704 are 2,2,2,2,2,2,11 and the prime factors of 1599 are 3,13,41. Since neither 704, nor 1599 share any common factors, the fraction can't be reduced and the final answer is 704/1599. (c) What decimal of every dollar of the sale price of the necklace is profit using the fraction from Part (b)? Pardon the lack of formatting 704/1599 = 0.4403 Rounded to the nearest hundredth gives 0.44 (d) Lucy collected $223.86 selling necklaces at a craft fair. How many necklaces did Lucy sell? Show your work. This question is asking for total cost. So divide the $223.86 by the sale price of $15.99. $223.86 / $15.99 = 14 14 necklaces were sold. (e) How much profit did she earn from the number of necklaces she sold? Show your work. Since we know from (a) that she has $7.04 profit per necklace, just multiply the amount of profit by the number sold. So $7.04 * 14 = $98.56</span>

A 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression line is determined to be (-0.181, 1.529). Which of the following
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{Upper \ limit + lower\ limit}{2}

Here , confidence interval :  (-0.181, 1.529)

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{-0.181+1.529}{2}

=\dfrac{1.348}{2}\\\\=0.674\ \ \ \ [\text{ positive}]

⇒Correlation coefficient(r) must be positive, So a. is true.

But, d. and e. are wrong(0.674 ≠ 0 or 1.348).

We cannot check residuals or its sum from confidence interval of slope of a regression line, so b is wrong.

We cannot say that scatterplot is linear as we cannot determine it from interval, so c. is wrong

So, the correct option : a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.
