Answer:

raise = $0.76

new wage = $10.26 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

8% in decimal form = 8/100 = 0.08

To find 8% of 9.50: 0.08 x 9.50 = 0.76

Therefore, the housekeeper's raise = $0.76

To calculate the amount she now earns after the raise, add the 8% rise to the initial value:

0.76 + 9.50 = $10.26

A fire department in a rural county reports that its response time to fires is approximatelyNormally distributed with a mean of

____ [38]

Answer:

Option C) 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 22 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 11.9 minutes

We are given that the distribution of response time is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(response times is over 30 minutes)

P(x > 30)

$P( x > 30) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{30 - 22}{11.9}) = P(z > 0.6722)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 0.6722)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 30) = 1 - 0.749= 0.251 = 25.1\%$

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 0.25

Adam wishes to have $20 comma 000 available in 18 years to purchase a new car for his son as a gift for his high school graduat

wel

Adam should invest $15516 after 18 years.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Amount(18) = $20000

Rate of Interest, r = 1.41%

Time, t = 18 years

n = 365 (compounded daily)

General equation of amount that is compounded daily:

$A(t) = A_0(1 + \frac{r}{n} )^n^t$

Solving for A₀:

$A_0 = \frac{A(t)}{(1+\frac{r}{n} )^n^t}$

Substituting the values:

$A_0 = \frac{20000}{(1 + \frac{0.0141}{365})^3^6^5^X^1^8 } \\\\A_0 = \frac{20000}{1.289}\\ \\A_0 = 15516$

Therefore, Adam should invest $15516 after 18 years.
