Quan's last paycheck shows that he eamed $210.00 for 24 hours of work. What is his hourly rate of pay?

bija089 [108]

Answer: 8.75$

Step-by-step explanation: to find the answer to this problem, you would divide his total amount of cash earned by the number of hours he worked to see how the cash is split between each hour. By doing this, you should get 8.75$ and hour.

Answer:

a) The sampling distribution for n=540 has a mean sample proportion of p=0.37 and a standard deviation of σs=0.0208.

b) probability = 0.99998

d) probability = 0.99874

e) You gain 0.12% in probability for an increase of 80% in sample size.

The increase in sample size is not justified by the increase in probability, for this margin of error (Δp=0.09).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have a known population proportion π=0.37 and we have to describe the sampling distribution when the sample size is n=540.

The mean sample proportion is expected to be the same as the population proportion:

$\bar p = \pi = 0.37$

The standard deviation of the sampling will be the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size:

$\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.37*0.63}{540}}=\sqrt{0.000431667}=0.0208$

Then, we can say that the sampling distribution will have a p=0.37 and a standard deviation σs=0.0208.

b) We have to calculate the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.09 of the population proportion.

We can calculate the z-value as:

$z_1=\dfrac{p_1-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{0.09}{0.0208}=4.3269\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{p_2-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.0208}=-4.3269$

As the distribution is symmetrical, we can calculate the probabilty that he sample proportion will be within 0.09 of the population proportion as:

$P(|p-\bar p|$

probability = 0.99998

d. Now the sample is smaller (n=300), so the standard deviation of the samping distribution:

$\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.37*0.63}{300}}=\sqrt{0.000777}=0.0279$

We have to recalculate the z-scores:

$z_1=\dfrac{p_1-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{0.09}{0.0279}=3.2258\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{p_2-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.0279}=-3.2258$

And the probability is:

$P(|p-\bar p|$

probability = 0.99874

e. The increase in sample size is 80%

$\Delta n\%=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}-1=\dfrac{540}{300}-1=1.8-1=0.8=80\%$

and the increase in probability is 0.12%

$\Delta P\%=\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}-1=\dfrac{0.99998}{0.99874}-1=1.0012-1=0.0012=0.12\%$

You gain 0.12% in probability for an increase of 80% in sample size.

The increase in sample size is not justified by the increase in probability, for this margin of error (Δp=0.09).

If T is the centroid of ∡MNP, TN = 16, MQ = 23, and RP = 18, find each missing measure.

kramer

Answer:

a) QT = 8

b) QN = 24

c) QP = 23

d) MP = 46

e) RT = 6

f) TP = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

If T is the centroid of<MNP, then the following are true;

TN = 2QT

Given TN = 16

16 = 2QT

QT = 16/2

QT = 8

QN = QT + TN

QN = 8 + 16

QN = 24

MQ + QP = MP and MQ = QP

If MQ = 23

QP = 23

Recall that MP = MQ + QP

MP = MQ + MQ

MP = 2MQ

MP = 2(23)

MP = 46

Similarly, TP = 2RT

RT = TP/2

Also RP = RT + TP

RP = RT + 2 RT

RP = 3RT

18 = 3RT

RT = 18/3

RT = 6

Recall that TP = 2RT

TP = 2(6)

TP = 12

Very confused need lots of help

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The angle is 50 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll see, the angle that is on the left of the 70° angle has to be 110°, because a straight line has 180°.

Now, the inner angles of a triangle have to sum 180°. So if the lower angle is 110° (because you just calculated it), and the upper angle is 20°, the third angle is:

180° = 110° + 20° + x

180° = 130° + x

180° - 130° = x

50° = x

Now this third angle is on the bottom left part of the triagle, and it's 50°. It also opposite to the angle 1, which is the one you want to calculate. Because they are opposites, they are identical, meaning that they both are 50°. This is due to a geometrical rule.
