The Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart Stores Inc. is planning to lay off employees at its Sam's Club warehouse unit. App

roximately half of the layoffs will be hourly employees (The Wall Street Journal, January 25-26, 2014). Suppose the following data represent the percentage of hourly employees laid off for Sam's Club stores. 55 56 44 43 44 56 60 62 57 45 36 38 50 69 65 a. Compute the mean and median percentage of hourly employees being laid off at these stores.

Answer:

The mean percentage of hourly employees being laid off at these stores is 52.

The median percentage of hourly employees being laid off at these stores is 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

Sum of all values divided by the number of values.

So

M = \frac{55+56+44+43+44+56+60+62+57+45+36+38+50+69+65}{15} = 52

The mean percentage of hourly employees being laid off at these stores is 52.

Median:

Value that separate the lower 50% from the upper 50% in the sorted set.

The sorted set is

36 38 43 44 44 45 50 55

The set has cardinality 15, which is an odd number, so the median is the element at the position (15+1)/2 = 8 of the sorted set, which is 55.

The median percentage of hourly employees being laid off at these stores is 55.

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x)=−(x−3)(x+11)? −8 −4 33 49
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

y - value of the vertex is 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = -(x - 3)(x + 11)

f(x) = -(x² - 3x + 11x - 33)

     = -(x² + 8x - 33)

     = -(x² + 8x + 16 - 49)

     = -[(x + 4)² - 49]

     = -(x + 4)² + 49

Comparing this equation with the vertex form of a quadratic function,

f(x) = -(x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the function.

Vertex of the parabola is (-4, 49)

Therefore, y-value of the vertex is 49.

The area of the Pacific Ocean is 63,780,000 square miles. The Atlantic Ocean is 2.27 cross times 10 to the power of 7 square mil
olganol [36]

Answer:

4.11 * 10⁷ square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = pacific ocean

A = Atlantic ocean

P = 63,780,000 = 6.38 * 10⁷

Since A is 2.27 * 10⁷ square miles smaller than the pacific ocean,

The area of A = 6.38 * 10⁷ - 2.27 * 10⁷

The area of the atlantic ocean = 4.11 * 10⁷ square miles

The dataset Restaurant Tips contains data recorded from 157 restaurant bills at a bistro in New York over a two week period and
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: ($3.532, $4.166)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.90=0.10

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Sample size : n= 157

Sample mean : \overline{x}=\$\ 3.849

Standard deviation : \sigma= \$\ 2.421

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :_

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\text{i.e. }\$\ 3.849\pm (1.64)\dfrac{2.421}{\sqrt{157}}\\\\\approx\$\ 3.849\pm0.317\\\\=(\$\ 3.849-0.317,\$\ 3.849+0.317)=(\$\ 3.532,\$\ 4.166)

Hence, the 0% confidence interval for the average tip given at this restaurant = ($3.532, $4.166)

  • Multiple Roots
  • Factoring
  • Completing the Square: -b/(2a)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² - 8x + 15 = 0

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 15 on both sides:                     x² - 8x = -15
  2. Complete the Square [Addition Property of Equality]:                                 x² - 8x + 16 = -15 + 16
  3. [Complete the Square] Simplify:                                                                   (x - 4)² = 1
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                  x - 4 = ±1
  5. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides:                                   x = 4 ± 1
  6. Evaluate:                                                                                                          x = 3, 5
