Answer:

-9

Its in the format y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the intercept. Also since x is 0 at the y intercept, you could substitute 0 for x and see the intercept

Janet an experienced shipping clerk can fill a certain order in 5 hours . Tom a new clerk needs 8 hours to do the same job. work

aksik [14]

Janet can fill a certain order in 5 hours, therefore she performs 1/5 of the order within 1 hour.

Tom needs 8 hours to do the same job, therefore he performs 1/8 of the order within 1 hour.

Working together, they make 1/5 + 1/8 orders within 1 hour.

Let <em>t</em> mean the number of hours they need. Then we have equation:

$\left(\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)t=1\\\\_{\text{use}\ \frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd}}\\\\\dfrac{(1)(8)+(1)(5)}{(5)(8)}t=1\\\\\dfrac{8+5}{40}t=1\\\\\dfrac{13}{40}t=1\ \ \ \ |\text{multiply both sides by 40}\\\\13t=40\ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\t=\dfrac{40}{13}\\\\t=3\dfrac{1}{13}\\\\Answer:\ 3\dfrac{1}{13}h=3h\ \dfrac{60}{13}min\approx3h\ 5min$

You have been assigned to determine whether more people prefer Coke or Pepsi. Assume that roughly half the population prefers Co

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11$

And rounded up we have that n=1068

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

$ME=0.03$ the margin of error desired

$Conf= 0.95$ the level of confidence given

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

the critical value for 95% of confidence is $z=1.96$

We can use as estimator for the population of interest $\hat p=0.5$ . And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.03$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
