Job-sharing is an innovative employment alternative that originated in Sweden and is becoming popular in the United States (for

example, in 2001, 26% of companies in the U.S. offered it as a flexible work option). Firms that offer job-sharing plans allow two or more persons to work part-time, sharing one full-time job. For example, two job-sharers might alternate work weeks, with one working while the other is off. Job-sharers never work at the same time, and may not even know each other. Job-sharing is particularly attractive to working mothers and to people who frequently lose their jobs due to fluctuations in the economy. In a recent survey of 1,035 major U.S. firms, approximately 23% offer job-sharing to their employees.
For each of the questions, select the correct answer from choices i. through xi. listed below.

a. What is the population of interest?
b. What is the variable measured?
c. What is the sample selected?
d. What is the parameter?
e. What is the statistic?


i. All major U.S. firms
ii. All major firms in the world
iii. All U.S. firms
iv. Job-sharing availability
v. Proportion of employees who are working mothers
vi. The 1,035 firms surveyed
vii. The percentage of all U.S. major firms which o↵er job-sharing to their employees
viii. The percentage of the 1035 major firms surveyed which o↵er job-sharing to their employees
ix. 25%
x. The percentage of all U.S. major firms which employ working mothers

Answer:

a. The population of interest is:

xi. All workers in the U.S. who have participated in the job-sharing program

b. The variable that is being measured is:

viii. The percentage of the 1035 major firms surveyed which offer job-sharing to their employees

c. The sample selected is:

vi. The 1,035 firms surveyed

d. The parameter is:

v. Proportion of employees who are working mothers

e. The statistic is:

ix. 25% (stated as 23%)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameter of a population is a fixed value calculated from every individual in the population.  It is different from a statistic, which is computed from a sample of the population.  The statistic is meant to approximate a population parameter.

An automobile travels past the farmhouse at a speed of v = 45 km/h. How fast is the distance between the automobile and the farm
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

\frac{ds}{dt} = 39.586 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

let distance between farmhouse and road is 2 km

From diagram given

p is the distance between road and past the intersection of highway

By using Pythagoras theorem

s^2 = 2^2 +p^2

differentiate wrt t

we get

\frac{d}{dt} s^2 = \frac{d}{dt} (4 + p^2)

2s \frac{ds}{dt}  =2p \frac{dp}{dt}

\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{p}{s}\frac{dp}{dt}

\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{p}{\sqrt{p^2 +4}} \frac{dp}{dt}

putting p = 3.7 km

\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{3.7}{\sqrt{3.7^2 +4}} 45

\frac{ds}{dt} = 39.586 km/h

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following square pyramid? I DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT A PHOTO ON PC!!! b
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

40 or 16+6+6+6+6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a 3d figure, we can imagine all of its faces laid down on a flat plane. In this case, we would have a square, and four congruent triangles. Now all we have to do is find the areas of each shape and add them up.

4 is the base of the pyramid, so it's also the square's side length. Since a square has four equal sides, our square's length and width are both 4.

4*4 = 16

For every triangle we have, the base is 4 and the height is 3. The area of a triangle can be found using the formula A=(bh)/2. We plug in the values:

A = (4*3)/2

A = (12)/2

A = 6

Since we have 4 triangles, the surface area is:

16+6+6+6+6 = 40

A sports store sells three different packs of tennis balls. Brand A costs $2.50 for two balls, brand B sells three balls for $3.
meriva

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sports store sells three different packs of tennis balls. Brand A costs $2.50 for two balls, brand B sells three balls for $3.90, and brand C has a sale of four balls for $5.12. Which inequality about the unit price per ball is correct

Brand A:

$2.50 for 2

Brand B :

$3.90 for 3

Brand C:

$5.12 for 4

We calculate the unit price :

Brand A:

$2.50 / 2 = $1.25

Brand B:

$3.90 / 3 = $1.30

Brand C:

$5.12 / 4 = $1.2

The red lines on the diagram show the layout for a running event. Runners will race around the triangle-shaped grassy area. What
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Total distance = 5.754 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Red lines of the right triangle show the layout of the race course.

Total length of the race course = Perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the measures of all three sides

                                         = 1.83 + 1.524 + 2.4

                                         = 5.754 km

Therefore, total distance of the race course is 5.754 km.

Mai and Tyler work on the equation 2/5b+1=-11 together. Mais soulution is b=-25 and Tyler’s is b=-28. Here is their work. Do you
Anika [276]

Answer:

No I don't agree with their solution; both their answers are wrong.

Correct answer is b=-30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{2}{5}b+1=-11

Now given:

According to Mai b = -25 and According to Tyler b = -28

Now we need to find which of them is correct.

So we will solve the given equation we get;

\frac{2}{5}b+1=-11

Subtracting both side by 1 we get;

\frac{2}{5}b+1-1=-11-1\\\\\frac{2}{5}b =-12

Now Multiplying both side \frac{5}{2} we get;

\frac{2}{5}b\times\frac{5}{2}= -12 \times \frac{5}{2}\\\\b=-6\times 5\\\\b=-30

Hence both of them are incorrect, correct answer is b=-30.
