Answer:

The probability of selecting a worker who earns more than $ 6.75 is 0.2877 or 28.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

The wages are normally distributed;

Average wage per hour; μ = $6.50

Standard deviation; σ = $0.45

Now, we want to find the probability that the worker earns more than $6.75

So, we'll find the z-value of P(x > 6.75) using the formula Z = (x-μ)/σ

Thus,

Z = (6.75-6.50)/0.45

Z = 0.556

So, looking at the z-distribution table P(Z>0.556) = 1 - P(Z < 0.556) = 1 - 0.7123 = 0.2877

Thus, The probability of selecting a worker who earns more than $ 6.75 is 0.2877 or 28.7%

Let the abbreviation PSLT stand for the percent of the gross family income that goes into paying state and local taxes. Suppose
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Number of families that should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within 0.5 is at least 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one wants to estimate the mean PSLT for the population of all families in New York City with gross incomes in the range $35.000 to $40.000.

If sigma equals 2.0, we have to find that how many families should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within 0.5.

Here, we will use the concept of Margin of error as the statement "true mean PSLT within 0.5" represents the margin of error we want.

<u></u>

<u>SO, Margin of error formula is given by;</u>

       Margin of error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_ ) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

where, \alpha = significance level = 10%

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2.0

            n = number of families

Now, in the z table the critical value of x at 5% ( \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05 ) level of significance is 1.645.

SO,        Margin of error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_ ) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

                          0.5   =  1.645 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{n} }

                         \sqrt{n} =\frac{2\times 1.645 }{0.5}

                         \sqrt{n} =6.58

                           n  =  6.58^{2}

                               = 43.3 ≈ 43

Therefore, number of families that should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within 0.5 is at least 43.

Which statement is NOT true about the slope of a straight-line graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Option D. Slope is 1 if the line is vertical

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Part A)  Slope is a measure of the steepness of the line

The statement is true

Because, the steepness of a line is measured by the absolute value of the slope.

Part B) Slope is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change

The statement is true

Because the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

so

Is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change

Part C) Slope is zero if the line is horizontal

The statement is true

Because If the line is horizontal, the y-coordinate of two points is the same

therefore

The vertical change is equal to zero

Part D) Slope is 1 if the line is vertical

The statement is Not true

Because, if the line is vertical the slope is undefined

2nd pic:

Rene should add, not multiply 2 volumes.

The correct answer is 48+216 =264

3rd pic:

a, for blue prism: V = Area of base x Height = 48 x a =720

=> a = 720/48 = 15

b,  for orange prism: V = Area of base x Height = (12xb)/2 x 15 =720

=> b =(720x2)/(15x12)= 8

The temperature outside Monday morning was -14. On Tuesday morning it was 4 degrees colder. Create an equation to show temperatu
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Temperature on Tuesday morning is -18^{o}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is the measure in degrees how cold or hot a substance is. The three scale of measurements are: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

In the given question, temperature on Monday morning is -14 degrees. Since it was given that the temperature on Tuesday morning is 4 degrees colder than that of Monday, then;

Temperature on Tuesday = -14 + (-4)

                                          = -14 -4

                                          = -18

Therefore, the temperature on Tuesday morning is -18^{o}.
