Set up a system of equations
Let x=first salesperson's paycheck
y=second salesperson's paycheck
x= y-.15y
x+y= 1425

Solve by substituting x
(y-.15y)+y= 1425
1.85y= 1425
y= 770.27

Substitute 770.27 for y in order to solve for x
x= (770.27)-.15(770.27)
x= 770.27-115.54
x=654.73

So the first salesperson(x) has a paycheck of $654.73 and the second salesperson(y) has a paycheck of $770.27.

Hope this helps!

Talja [164]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The standard deviation σ = 14

The sample size n = 49

The sample mean \overline x = 56

The formula for calculating the standard error can be expressed as:

S.E = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

S.E = \dfrac{14}{\sqrt{49}}

S.E = \dfrac{14}{7}

S.E = 2

Therefore, the standard error of the mean = 2
