5 'parts' of the total company staff are men, and 8 'parts' are women.
That's 13 'parts' all together, comprising 364 people.
So each 'part' is 364/13 = 28 people.

Men = 5 'parts' = 5 x 28 = <u>140 men</u>

Women = 8 'parts' = 8 x 28 = <u>224 women</u>

<em><u>Check:</u></em>

140/224 = 70/112 = 35/56 =<em> </em><em>5/8</em>

140 + 224 = <em>364</em>

yay !

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The true statement about Kendra's sample is:

b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years

Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample

Week   Average Age (in years)

1                    3.7

2                   3.8

3                   4.2

4                   4.1

5                  3.9

6                  3.9

7                  4.0

Total         27.6

Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)

b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine.  While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years.  On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other.  With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other.  Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."

Aliun [14]
Corrine earns an hourly wage on top of her weekly gas allowance for her delivery job.

Her weekly earnings can be expressed as:

Earnings = 40 + 7.50h

When h=0, her earnings will be 40

This constant represents, the fixed gas allowance she is receiving for her delivery job. 7.50h represents that she get paid $7.50 for an hour of work. 

So, the constant term in the expression represent her weekly gas allowance.

HELP!!!!

Answer:

8 y^{50}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (64 y Superscript 100 Baseline) Superscript one-half.

Let us write it into an equation.

\left(64 y^{100}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

Apply radical rule: \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{2}} and a^{m+n}=a^m+a^n

\begin{aligned}\left(64 y^{100}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} &=\sqrt[2]{64 y^{100}} \\&=\sqrt[2]{8^{2} y^{50} y^{50}} \\&=\sqrt[2]{8^{2}\left(y^{50}\right)^{2}} \\&=8 y^{50}\end{aligned}

Hence, 8 y^{50} is equivalent to  (64 y Superscript 100 Baseline) Superscript one-half.
