Answer:

89 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve all the deductions.

For each multiply the $10, which you are paid, and the percentage.

For FICA: $10 x 0.0765 = $0.77 per hr

For Fed tax: $10 x 0.12 = $1.2 per hr

For State tax: $10 x 0.08 = $0.8 per hr

Now subtract the remaining pay:

10 – 0.77 – 1.2 – 0.8 = $7.23

Time required = $640 / $7.23 per hr

Time required = 89 hrs

Final answer:

89 hours

Suppose that 5 out of 13 people are to be chosen to go on a mission trip. In how many ways can these 5 be chosen if the order in

algol [13]

5 People can be chosen in 1287 ways if the order in which they are chosen is not important.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students= 13

Number of Students to be selected= 5

To Find :

The number of ways in which the 5 people can be selected=?

Solution:

Let us use the permutation and combination to solve this problem

$nCr=\frac{(n)!}{(n-r)!(r)!}$

So here , n =13 and r=5 ,

So after putting the value of n and r , the equation will be

$13C_5=\frac{(13)!}{(13-5)!(5)!}$

$13C_5=\frac{(13 \times12 \times11 \times10 \times9 \times8\times7 \times6 \times5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)}{(8 \times7 \times6 \times5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)(5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)}$

$13C_5=\frac{(13 \times12 \times11 \times10 \times9 )}{((5 \times4 \times3 \times2 \times1)}$

$13C_5=\frac{154440}{120}$

$13C_5= 1287$

The following are questions from a self-quiz.According to some study, the height for Northern European adult males is normally d

lara [203]

Answer:

a) 0.064

b) 0.109

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 181 centimeter

Standard Deviation, σ = 7.3 centimeter

We are given that the distribution of height for Northern European adult males is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

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

a) P(person is between 160 and 170 centimeters)

$P(160 \leq x \leq 170) = P(\displaystyle\frac{160 - 181}{7.3} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{170-181}{7.3}) = P(-2.8767 \leq z \leq -1.506)\\\\= P(z \leq -1.506) - P(z < -2.8767)\\= 0.066 -0.002 = 0.064 = 6.4\%$

b) P(person is higher than 190 centimeter)

P(x > 190)

$P( x > 190) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{190 - 181}{7.3}) = P(z > 1.2328)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1.2328)$

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

$P(x > 190) = 1 - 0.891 = 0.109 = 10.9\%$

Carlos shovels snow from driveways in his neighborhood. he charges $10 for each regular driveway and he charges an extra $7.50 f

stiks02 [169]

Let, the number of regular driveways be x.

Given there are 3 fewer large driveways than regular driveways.

So, the number of large driveways = $(x-3)$

Given, Carlas charges $10 for each regular driveway.

So for x regular driveway the amount will be = $ $(10)(x)$ = $ $(10x)$

And he charges extra $7.50 for each large driveway.

So for each large driveway Carlos charges = $ $(10+7.50)$ = $17.50.

For (x-3) large driveways Carlos will charge = $ $(17.50)(x-3)$ = $ $(17.50x - 52.50)$

Given, the total amount he makes = $140

So we can write the equation as,

$10x + 17.50x - 52.50 = 140$

$27.50x + 52.50 = 140$

We will move 52.50 to the right side by adding it to both sides. We will get,

$27.50x - 52.50 + 52.50 = 140 + 52.50$

$27.50x = 192.50$

Now to get x, we will move 27.50 to the right side by dividing it to both sides. We will get,

$\frac{(27.50x)}{27.50} =\frac{192.50}{27.50}$

$x =\frac{192.50}{52.50}$

$x = 7$

So we have got the required answer.

The number of regular driveways Carlos shovel = 7.
