A tiling company completes two jobs. The first job has $1200 in labor expenses for 40 hours worked, while the second job has $15
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The correct option is;

1560 = 30(52) + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the first job = $1,200 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the first job = 40

The second job costs $1,560 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the second job = 52

If the cost of labor per hour = L and the expenses = b, we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + b......................(1)

$1,560 = 52×L + b.......................(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we have;

52×L + b - (40×L + b) =  52×L - 40×L + b - b = $1,560 - $1,200 = $360

12×L = $360

L = $360/12 = $30/hour

From equation (1), we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + X =  40×$30 + b

Therefore, the equation that can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation is either;

1200 = 40(30) + X or 1560 = 32(52) + b, which gives the correct option as 1560 = 32(52) + b

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months. What will he pay in interest?
Viktor [21]

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months.

We have to calculate the interest paid.

Interest = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Substituting the values of

Principal = $1058

Rate = 13%

Time = 9 months = \frac{9}{12} year

Interest = \frac{1058 \times 13 \times 9}{12 \times 100}

Interest = 103.155

= 103.16

So, Devin will pay 103.16 as the interest.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

Geometry: Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.
Kazeer [188]

It is given in the question that,

Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

And

m \angle PQS = 2x+1
\\
m \angle RQS = 4x-15

Since QS bisects angle PQR, therefore

m \angle PQS = m \angle RQS

Substituting the values, we will get

2x+1=4x-15
\\
1+15 = 4x-2x
\\
2x = 16
\\
x = 8

An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in fire control by the number of sprinklers t
gregori [183]

Answer:

probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will use Binomial  probability distribution because:

  • In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
  • The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.

A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an  repeated multiple or n times.

Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.

The formula is:

b(x; n, P) = C_{n,x}*p^{x}  * (1 - p)^{n-x}

b = binomial probability  also represented as P(X=x)

x =no of successes

P = probability of a success on a single trial

n = no of trials

C_{n,x} is calculated as:

C_{n,x} = n! / x!(n – x)!

        = 10!  / 10!(10-10)!

        = 1

According to given question:

probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.

number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10

To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire

X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them

So putting these into the formula:

P(X=x) = C_{n,x}*p^{x}  * (1 - p)^{n-x}

           = C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰

           =  1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰

           = 1 * 0.0282 * 1

  P(X=x)        = 0.0282

University graduates have a mean job search time of 38.1 weeks, with a standard deviation of 10.1 weeks. The distribution of job
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

7.1 weeks to 68.4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev's Theorem states that:

75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 38.1

Standard deviation = 10.1

Between what two search times does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantee that we will find at least 89% of the graduates

Between 3 standard deviations of the mean.

So from 38.1 - 3*10.1 = 7.8 weeks to 38.1 + 3*10.1 = 68.4 weeks
