Answer:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the rate of the first mechanic with x and the second with y.

So, we have:

x + y = 160

The total earnings is: $1850, so we have:

5x + 15y = 1850

Required

Determine the rate of each

The equations are:

x + y = 160 --- (1)

5x + 15y = 1850 --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 5

x + 3y = 370 --- (3)

Subtract (1) from (3)

x - x + 3y - y = 370 - 160

2y = 210

Divide through by 2

y = \frac{210}{2}

y = 105

Substitute 105 for y in (1)

x + y = 160

Make x the subject

x = 160 - y

Substitute 105 for y

x = 160 - 105

x = 55

Hence:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

Use the given values of n and p to find the minimum usual value μ−2σ and the maximum usual value μ+2σ. Round to the nearest hund
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

μ−2σ = 1,089.26

μ+2σ = 1,097.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a sample of size 'n' and proportion 'p' is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

If n=1139 and p =0.96, the standard deviation is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}\\\sigma = 0.001836

The minimum and maximum usual values are:

\mu-2\sigma = (p-2\sigma)*n\\\mu+2\sigma = (p+2\sigma)*n

\mu-2\sigma = (0.96-2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu-2\sigma = 1,089.26\\\mu+2\sigma = (0.96+2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu+2\sigma = 1,097.62

Joshua invested $750 in an account paying an interest rate of
Maslowich
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Joshua:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0341/4= 0.008525
Number of periods (n)= 18*4= 72 quarters
Josiah:
Initial investment (PV)= $750
Interest rate (i)= 0.0285
Number of periods (n)= 18 years
To calculate the future value of each one, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
Joshua:
FV= 750*(1.008525^72)
FV= $1,381.98
Josiah:
FV= 750*(1.0285^18)
FV= $1,169.74
Due to the difference in the interest rate and the quarterly compounding, Joshua will have $212.24 more than Josiah.
