kozerog [31]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation below.

Explanation:

Solution:

According to the data given: This can be solved as following. (Note: we are not given income tax tables to calculate the accurate net pay. So, according to given information here. Following is the accurate one. )

Let's assume, a 6.2% tax rate for SS ( Social Security) and 1.45% tax rate on Medicare:

So,

Social Security = 6.2%

Medicare = 1.45%

Pay Per hour = $14.30

So, let's calculate Rhonda's Gross pay:

Gross Pay = Pay per hour x total number of hours

Gross pay = $14.30 x 80 hours

Gross Pay = $1,144

Now, calculate the Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security:

Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security = $1,144 x 6.2%

Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security = $70.928

Similarly, Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare:

Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare = $1,144 x 1.45%

Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare = $16.588

So Finally,

Rhonda's Take-home Pay for her first check will be = Gross pay - Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security - Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare

Rhonda's Take-home Pay for her first check will be = $1,144 - $70.928 - $16.588

Rhonda's Take-home Pay for her first check will be = $1,056.484

Describe a problem you face in your everyday life or at work. How might you use hypothesis testing to find a solution or improve

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The common problem i encounter mostly is the statistical modelling problem.

In this scenario we choose best combination of independent variables for the hypothesis testing. the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling.

My null hypothesis would be that there is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable. for my alternative hypothesis there exist is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Explanation:

The common problem I face daily is the statistical modelling problem which is the selection of relevant independent variable for prediction modelling.

In this example to select the best combination of independent variables we use hypothesis testing. if the independent variable has significant effect on dependent variable then the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling. In this way the model gets improved.

Since there are always two variables or two categories. hence it has a two sample test.

The Hypothesis can be shown below:

Null hypothesis:

H0: There is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: There is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

Lisa is choosing between three alternatives: a) working at her job that pays 60 dollars; b) writing a term paper which she value

choli [55]

Answer: $80

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

The opportunity cost of writing a term paper is $80 that she values by going out with a friend and it is the higher cost alternative.
