A package delivery company experiences high variability in daily customer demand, which in turn results in high variability in t

he daily workload at the central sorting facility. The company relies on its sorting facility employees working overtime to provide on-time delivery when the workload demand is very high. A sorting facility employee receives a salary of $12/hour for a 40 hour week, and the employee receives $18/hour for every hour worked overtime, that is, for every hour worked over 40 hours in a given week. The number of overtime hours that an employee works in any given week is a random variable, with a mean of 15 hours and a standard deviation of 4 hours.
Required:
What are the mean, the standard deviation, and the variance of an employee's total weekly salary?

Solution :

Let :

X = number of overtime hours

S = total weekly salary

S = $12 \times 40 + 18 \times X$

S = 480 + 18X

E(S) = $480 + 18 \times E(X)$

$E(S) = 480 + 18 \times 15$

        = 750

Mean of S = 750

Var (S) = $18^2 \times Var(X)$

Var(S) = $18^2 \times 4^2$

          = 5184

Variance of S = 5184

The standard deviation equals square root of 5184 = 72

Jenna solved the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0 . She stated that the solutions to the equation were 7/2 and -6. Do you agree with J
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Yes. Her solution is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check if Jenna solution is correct:

To solve the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0, we can use Bhaskara's formula:

D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*2*42 = 25+336 = 361

sqrt(D) = 19

x1 = (-5 + 19)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2

x2 = (-5 - 19)/4 = -24/4 = -6

We must agree with Jenna's solution, because the values she found as solution are correct: with we replace these values of x in the equation, we will find 0 = 0, which is correct and proves that these values are the solution of the equation.

Convert the polar equation to rectangular form: <br><br> r = 2 / [1 + sin(theta)]
iren2701 [21]
R = 2 / (1 + sin <span>θ)

Using the following relations:

R = sqrt (x^2 + y^2)
sin </span>θ = y/R
<span>
R = 2 / (1 + y/R)
R</span>(1 + y/R<span>) = 2
</span><span>R + y = 2
R = 2 - y
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 - y

Squaring both sides:
x^2 + y^2 = (2 - y)^2
x^2 + y^2 = 4 - 4y + y^2

x^2 + 4y - 4
