Yes you do. Place all of the numbers, even repeating ones, in order from slammers to largest and then start crossing out from both sides until you get the middle. For example, in the problem below the median would be 4 bc it’s in the middle

There are usually multiple ways to solve any math problem.

You don't have to put the numbers in order if there's another way to find a value such that the number of numbers greater than that value is equal to the number of numbers less than that value.*

It is usually easiest to put the numbers in order, but it is not absolutely necessary.

_____
* If the size of the set is odd, then the value found must be in the set. If the size of the set is even, the value found must be the average of the two numbers in the set that are nearest and either side of that value.

A bit is a 0 or a 1. A bit string of length 8 is a sequence of 8 digits, all of which are either 0 and 1.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

a) N = 2^8 = 256

b)N = 2^8 + 2^7 +2^6 +2^5 +2^4 +2^3 +2^2 +2^1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

String of length 8, with two options (0 or 1) each.

a) for the number of bits of strings of length 8.

Each digit of the 8 digit string has 2 options.

For 8 digit, we have

N = 2×2×2.... = 2^8 =256

b) for bit of strings of length 8 or less.

For n string = 2^n

For n < 8

The number of bit strings for length 8 or less are;

N = N8 +N7 + N6 + ... +N1

N = 2^8 + 2^7 +2^6 +2^5 +2^4 +2^3 +2^2 +2^1

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.

Find the perimeter of the figure
nalin [4]

Answer:

The perimeter is 66.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ABD

<em>Find the length side AD</em>

tan(33^o)=\frac{8}{AD} ----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

AD=\frac{8}{tan(33^o)}=12.3\ units

Find the length side BD

sin(33^o)=\frac{8}{BD} ---> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

BD=\frac{8}{sin(33^o)}=14.7\ units

step 2

In the right triangle CDE

Find the length side CE

cos(64^o)=\frac{CD}{CE} --> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

we have

CD=BD/2=14.7/2=7.35\ units

substitute

CE=\frac{7.35}{cos(64^o)}=16.8\ units

Find the length side DE

tan(64^o)=\frac{DE}{CD} --> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

DE=tan(64^o){7.35}=15.1\ units

step 3

Find the perimeter of the figure

The perimeter is equal to

P=AB+AD+BD+CE+DE

substitute the values

P=8+12.3+14.7+16.8+15.1=66.9\ units
