Answer:

<h3>C. $56,900</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of the Social Security (FICA) wage base y, (in thousands of dollars) from 1983 to 1988 expressed as y=1.9x+34.1

for us to calculate his wage base in 1995, we need to calculate the total number of years between 1983 to 1995 i.e 12 years

Substitute x = 12 into the expression above as shown;

y=1.9x+34.1

y = 1.9(12)+ 34.1

y = 22.8 + 34.1

y = 56.9

Since y is in thousand of dollars then

y = 56.9 * 1000

y = 56900

y = $56,900

Hence FICA wage base in 1995 is $56,900

(both to the nearest tenth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the surface of the river =  area of the  outer circle - area of the inner circle.

Radius of the outer circle  = 30 *3 = 90 feet.

So the surface area of the river = π(90)^2 - π(85)^2

= 875π ft^2

Also the volume of the river = surface area * depth = 875π*4 = 3500π ft^3

= 10,995.6 ft^3.

Number of gallons of water it will hold = 10,995.6 /  4.78

= 2300.3 gallons.

Ok this might be wrong but you don’t have much time so I will give my best

I’m pretty sure the of the x and y thing you do this you see the box with the number in it do this the top two says 2 and 4 the left side is x and the right side is y so you see at the bottom of the number Line thing on the right is a little x that where you start so the box of numbers the fist one says 2 so go to the bottom number line and there is the number two now the top right box with numbers says 4 so go up 4 squares from the number 2 and make a dot where they come together

Determine whether the value is a discrete random​ variable, continuous random​ variable, or not a random variable. a. The number
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a. Discrete

b. Discrete

c. Not a random variable

d. Continuous

e. Discrete

f. Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The discrete random variable is countable while continuous random variable is measurable.

a. The number of fish caught is a discrete random variable because these are countable.

b. The number of text book authors are also countable so it is a discrete random variable.

c. The political party affiliation of adults is not a random variable because the political party affiliation depends on person's interest and it cannot be randomly assigned to person. Also random variable is the numerical outcome of random experiment whereas political affiliation is the categorical variable that results in non numerical responses such as Democrat, Republicans etc.

d. The square footage of a house is measurable and so it is a continuous random variable.    

e. The number of free dash throw attempts are countable so it is a discrete random variable

f. The weight of Upper T dash bone steak is measurable and so it is a continuous random variable.
