Answer:

$3692

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the gross salary be x.

<u>Then after deduction it becomes:</u>

x - 22% =
x(1 - 0.22) =
0.78x

<u>Since the amount is known, the gross salary is:</u>

078x = 2880
x = 2880/0.78
x = 3692 rounded to whole number

<u>Answer</u>: $3692

Answer:

To be able to approximate the sampling distribution with a normal model, it is needed that $np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$ , and both conditions are satisfied in this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will make payments on time, or they won't. The probability of a person making the payment on time is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The sampling distribution can be approximated to a normal model if:

$np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$

Based on past experience, a bank believes that 8.9 % of the people who receive loans will not make payments on time.

This means that $p = 0.089$

The bank has recently approved 220 loans.

This means that $n = 220$

What must be true to be able to approximate the sampling distribution with a normal model?

$np = 220*0.089 = 19.58 \geq 10$

$n(1-p) = 220*0.911 = 200.42 \geq 10$

To be able to approximate the sampling distribution with a normal model, it is needed that $np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$ , and both conditions are satisfied in this problem.

The table below represents a function. Which of the following equations could be its function rule?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$y=2x-2$ is the required equation.

Therefore, the second option is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation of a linear function is given by

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Taking two points (0, -2) and (1, 0) from the table to determine the slope using the formula

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:0\right)$

$m=\frac{0-\left(-2\right)}{1-0}$

$m=2$

substituting the point (0, -2) and the slope m=2 in the slope-intercept form to determine the y-intercept i.e. 'b'.

$y=mx+b$

$-2 = 2(0)+b$

$-2=0+b$

$b=-2$

Now, substituting the values of m=2 and b=-2 in the slope-intercept form to determine the equation of a linear function

$y=mx+b$

$y=2x+(-2)$

$y=2x-2$

Thus, $y=2x-2$ is the required equation.

Therefore, the second option is true.

Difference of Squares gives which complex factors for the expression x2 +3?

Andreas93 [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

Shortest way to solve this question is to find the factors of the given expression.

The given expression is (x² + 13).

Now we have to factorize it.

(x² + 13) = x² + (√13)²

= x² + [-(i)²√(13)²] [Since i = √(-1)]

= x² - (i√13)²

= (x - i√3)(x + i√3) [Since (a² - b²) = (a + b)(a - b)]-by-
