Answer:
z = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
10- 3/4z = 8
Subtract 10 from each side
10-10- 3/4z = 8-10
-3/4z = -2
Multiply each side by -4/3
-3/4z * -4/3 = -2 *4/3
z = 8/3
Answer:
Hourly rate: $17.
Hourly overtime rate: $25.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent Jim's hourly pay.
We have been given that Jim worked 40 hours last week. So amount paid in 40 hours would be
.
We are also told that his over time pay is time-and-a-half rate that is
.
The amount earned for working 8 overtime hours would be
.
Since Jim's gross pay was $884, so we will equate amount earned in 40 hours and 8 hours of overtime with 884 as:




Therefore, Jim's hourly rate is $17.
Overtime rate would be 
Therefore, Jim's hourly overtime rate is $25.5.
We notice that the upper trapezoid is symmetric to the lower one & the line of symmetry should be a horizontal line (mirror line) where any point of the upper vertices should be at equal distance (perpendicular) with the related vertices of the lower one from this horizontal line:
Note that QQ" =4 units, Hence the line of symmetry is the perpendicular to QQ' at 2 units
Answer:
A. P(x>12 in 5 minutes)=0.0201
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we are working with a Poisson Distribution of probability, we need to get all the data needed. In a Poisson distribution is needed a constant called λ that symbolizes the mean data (6 calls) per unit of time (5 minutes), for this distribution λ=6/5.
Poisson probabilities work like this:

Remember y has to be an integer and the units of z must be the same unit of time used in λ. Now we are ready to solve this problem
A. The question is asking for the probability that in 5 minutes appear more calls than the phone-answering machine could answer (i.e P(x>12 in 5 minutes)). Because there are infinite numbers greater than 12, we are using this property of probabilities that´ll help us simplify the problem:
P(x>12 in 5 minutes)= 1 - P(x≤12 in 5 minutes)
Now we can use the following:



And you can find P(x=n in 5 minutes) for every n using a calculator or a computer, and finally add them to get
P(x≤12 in 5 minutes)= 0.9799
P(x>12 in 5 minutes)= 1-0.9799
This will be our answer
P(x>12 in 5 minutes)= 0.0201
