Janis earns $7.00 per hour at Pizza King. After 6 months, her hourly rate of pay increased to $7.70 per hour. What is the percen

t increase in her hourly rate of pay?

8 0

Find the amount of the increase and divide that by the original amount:

7.70 - 7.00 = 0.70 increase

0.70 / 7.00 = 0.1

Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

0.1 x 100 = 10 %

The increase was 10 %

While conducting a test of modems being manufactured, it is found that 10 modems were faulty out of a random sample of 367 modem

Kitty [74]

Answer:

We conclude that this is an unusually high number of faulty modems.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that while conducting a test of modems being manufactured, it is found that 10 modems were faulty out of a random sample of 367 modems.

The probability of obtaining this many bad modems (or more), under the assumptions of typical manufacturing flaws would be 0.013.

Let p = <em><u>population proportion</u></em>.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 0.013 {means that this is an unusually 0.013 proportion of faulty modems}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p > 0.013 {means that this is an unusually high number of faulty modems}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z-test</u> for proportions;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion faulty modems= $\frac{10}{367}$ = 0.027

n = sample of modems = 367

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> = $\frac{0.027-0.013}{\sqrt{\frac{0.013(1-0.013)}{367} } }$

= 2.367

The value of z-test statistics is 2.367.

Since, we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now at 5% level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 2.367 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.

Therefore, we conclude that this is an unusually high number of faulty modems.

Determine the next step for solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=\frac{1+\sqrt{7}}{2}$ and $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{7}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$0=-2x^{2}+2x+3$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$-3=-2x^{2}+2x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$-3=-2(x^{2}-x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$-3-0.5=-2(x^{2}-x+0.5^{2})$

$-3.5=-2(x^{2}-x+0.5^{2})$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$-3.5=-2(x-0.5)^{2}$

$7/4=(x-0.5)^{2}$

square root both sides

$x-0.5=(+/-)\sqrt{\frac{7}{4}}$

$x-\frac{1}{2}=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1}{2}(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{7}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1-\sqrt{7}}{2}$
