Answer:

<em>The total commission is: $840 + $1,120 + $672 = $2,632</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Multi-Level Commissions</u>

For sales less than $7,000, a company pays a 12% commission.

For sales between $7,000 and $15,000, the company pays 14%.

For sales greater than $15,000, the company pays 15%.

Let's calculate the commission on sales of $19,480.

For the first $7,000, the commission is:

12*7,000/100 = $840

The remaining sales base is now $19,480-$7,000 = $12,480

For the portion of $8,000 between $7,000 and $15,000, the commission is:

14*$8,000/100 = $1,120

The remaining sales base is now $12,480 - $8,000= $4,480

This portion gets the final 15%:

15*$4,480/100 = $672

The total commission is: $840 + $1,120 + $672 = $2,632

Suppose that at Northside High, the number of hours per week that seniors spend on homework is approximately Normally distribute

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of means for the 36 students is of 18.6 homework hours per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

For the population, the mean is 18.6. So, by the Central Limit Theorem, the mean of the sampling distribution is also 18.6.

Kamila has a rectangular lawn that measures 80 by 150 feet. She wants to lay gravel made from colored rock in a border, 6 feet w

beks73 [17]

A) Diagram

Below is a sketch of the recctangular lawn (the inside rectangle) and the gravel border.

6 ft + 150 yards + 6 ft
-------------------------------
|                                    |
|     ---------------------      |
|     |                        |     |
|     |                        |     |   6 ft + 80 yard + 6 ft
|     |                        |     |
|      ---------------------     |
|                                    |
|------------------------------|

B) How many square feet of the gravel will surround the lawn?

Conversion: 1 yard = 3 feet

=> 80 yard = 80*3 feet = 240 feet

=> 150 yard = 150 * 3 feet = 450 feet

Area of the external rectangle = (6 ft + 240 ft + 6 ft) (6 ft + 450 ft + 6 ft) = 252 ft * 462 ft = 116,424 ft^2

Area of the internal rectangle = 240 ft * 450 ft = 108,000 ft^2

Area of the gravel border = 116,424 ft^2 - 108,000 ft^2 = 8424 ft^2

answer: 8424 ft^2

C) volume

volume = area of the base * depth

2 inches = 2/12 ft = 1/6 ft

=> volume = 8424 ft^2 * 1/6 ft = 1404 ft^3

answer: 1404 ft^3

C) cost

1 yard^3 = $ 30

1yard ^3 = (3 feet)^3 = 27 ft^3

=> cost = $ 30 / 27 ft^3

=> 1404 ft^3 * $30 / 27 ft^3 = $ 1560

answer: $ 1560
