As a salesperson for an electronic parts distributor, you are given two options for your salary structure. The first option has

a base salary of $300 a week plus 4% of all sales made. The second option has a base salary of $100 plus 7.5% commission on all sales. Find the sales amount that will result in the two options having the same weekly salary.

Answer:

The amount of sale is approximately 5714.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sales made that will result to the same salary and let y be the same weekly salary.

We can represent both salaries as follows:

300 + 0.04x = y

100 + 0.075x = y

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have:

200 – 0.035x = 0

0.035x= 200

x = 200/0.035

x ≈ 5714.

Therefore, the amount of sale is approximately 5714.

f(x)=2x^2+0x-5

Find the vertex

0/4=0=x

Input x into the equation to find y or f(x)

0+0-5=f(x)

(0,-5) = Vertex

Now find a random x coordinate to input into the equation.

Let's do 4.

32+0-5=f(x)=27

It may not look like a parabola due to it being uneven.

There are 9,481 eligible voters in a precinct. 500 were selected at random and asked to indicate whether they planned to vote fo
maria [59]

Answer:

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Of the 500 surveyed, 350 said they were going to vote for the Democratic incumbent.

This means that n = 500, \pi = \frac{350}{500} = 0.75

80% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.2, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9, so Z = 1.28.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.725

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.775

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.
