Eric works in landscaping. He charges a fee of $25 plus $15 per hour. What is the least number of hours he must work in order to

nlexa [21]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

you would so 100 minus 25 (25 is just one charge fee) which is 75 then divide 75 into 15 which is the hourly pay, and get 5 which is the hours he must work

"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year

KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that $p = 0.56$

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is $P(X \geq 1)$ when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927$

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Joe is 1.6m tall. His shadow is 2m long when he stands 3m from the base of a floodlight.height1.6 m2m3mWhat is the height of the

alexdok [17]

We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.

First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:

1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)

where x is the height of the flood light

solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
