Answer:

He is likely to be accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate is a value that is close to the true or actual value. Usually, a sample from a smaller group is projected into a larger population. To crosscheck the trueness of the estimate, we compare the small sample to the large sample thus;

If 40 employees =  8 applicants for vacation

1200 employees = ? applicants for vacation

Cross multiplying the above gives;

<u>1200 * 8</u>

40

= 9600/40

= 240 applicants for vacation.

The figure 240 is close to the owner's estimate of 250.

If the demand increases more rapidly for software engineers than for office clerks, what would you expect to
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Supply and demand - the answer is "B".  And there should be a "C" - unknown.  There should also be a "D" since it is possible that the pay for software engineers could drop and office clerks increase (unlikely) is the supply of software engineers grows more quickly than demand while the supply of office clerks drops while demand increases (this is unlikely due to the fact that the skills necessary to be an office clerk are easier to obtain and as such, supply should not drop).

The probability distribution histogram shows the mass distribution of sedimentary rocks in the collection at a museum of natural
nignag [31]
<span>The p statement asks for the probability that 10kg is less than or equal to the mass and that the mass is less than 35kg. To work this out, add the probabilities of all the bars on the histogram where the mass fits this range: the 10-15kg, 15-20kg, 20-25kg, 25-30kg and 30-35kg bars. When probability events are mutually exclusive (i.e. the mass can only be represented by one of the bars, not multiple bars), simply add the probabilities together. 0.25 + 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.85. The probability is 0.85 that the mass will be greater than or equal to 10kg and less than 35kg.</span>
