Answer: thier salaries are $5000 and $5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the average weekly salary of one employee be =x

And that of the other employee be = x+500

Such that if thier average of their salaries= $5250

So, their total salary= $5250 x 2=10,500

The equation to solve each employee salary becomes

x+x+500=10,500

2x+500=10,500

2x=10,500-500

2x=10,000

x=10,000 /2

x= first employee salary =$5000

second employee = x+500 =$5500

Franchise Business Review stated over 50% of all food franchises earn a profit of less than $50,000 a year. In a sample of 130 c

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

We need a sample size of 564.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$\pi = \frac{81}{130} = 0.6231$

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

Based upon a 95% confidence interval with a desired margin of error of .04, determine a sample size for restaurants that earn less than $50,000 last year.

We need a sample size of n

n is found when $M = 0.04$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6231*0.3769}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.6231*0.3769}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.6231*0.3769}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.6231*0.3769}}{0.04})^{2}$

$n = 563.8$

Rounding up

We need a sample size of 564.

What is the square root of 64 over 225 with a negative outside of the radical?

irinina [24]

The square root of (64/225) is the same as √64 / √225 .
That could make the whole thing easier.

Do you know what either of those separate square roots is ?

You're right ! I'm so impressed!
The square root of 64 IS 8, and the square root of 225 surely is 15 .
You really know your stuff !

So now, the expression is √64 / √225 = <em>8 / 15</em> .

Oh, I almost forgot, it has a negative sign before it. OK,so the answer is <em>- 8/15</em> .

I need help with creating some equations for an assignment. These are the types of equations I need:

kondor19780726 [428]

Hi there!

Here are some examples for you:

Two one step equations:
6x = 36
y + 5 = 10

Two equations containing fractions:
1/2x = 4
3/4y + 1 = 8

One equation using the distributive property:
2(x + 5) = 3

One equation with a decimal:
2.5x + 5 = 10

One real world problem that is solved by an equation:
At the beginning, I had 5 cups of flour. I made a batch of cookies. Now, I have 3.5 cups of flour. How much flour did I use?
5 - x = 3.5

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
