Semi monthly means 2 times per month
assume that pay is at beginning and middle of month (doesn't matter, but makes it easier for me)
so 12 months
2 times per month
12 times 2=24
divide 55000 by number of months
55,000/24=2291.67
so the amount per paycheck, assuming equally distributed amounts throughout the paychecks, is $2291.67
11183333.3/10^7 = 1.11x10^-7.
housing: 900/4500 = 0.2 = 20%
transportation: 650 / 4500 = 0.14 = 14%
utilities: 120/4500 = 0.026 = 2.6% ( round to 3% maybe)
food: 475/4500 = 0.105 = 10.5% (round to 11% maybe)
savings: 1600 / 4500 = 0.355 = 35.5% (round to 36% maybe)
Student Loan: 270 / 4500 = 0.06 = 6%
Other expenses: 485 / 4500 = 0.107 = 10.7% (round to 11% maybe)
You didn't say if they needed to be rounded so I gave you the options on the ones that may need it.
The answer is a, -40 + 7 = -33
Var(y)=k(1-p)/p^2
where y is the random variable
k is the successes obtain from y
0<p<1
