Which best describes the relationship between the successive terms in the sequence shown?

2 answers:

7 0

Take any term and subtract the one before it. -4.8 - 2.4 = -7.2 but -19.2 - 9.6 = -28.8 so the difference is NOT common
Dividing pairs of terms gives -4.8 / 2.4 = -2. 9.6 / -4.8 = -2. -19.2 / 9.6 = -2 so there is a common ratio of -2

Determine the total annual FICA tax for an annual salary of $110,330. Use $106,800 for maximum taxable earningsa.$822.14b.$844.0

Agata [3.3K]

<span>The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) requires employers to withhold a certain percentage of an employee's income as tax. The categories are: 6.2% as social security tax 1.45% as Medicare tax 0.9% as Medicare surtax for employees earning more than $200,000 In this case, the percentage of tax applied will be 6.2 + 1.45 = 7.65% The FICA tax will be 110,330 * 0.0765 FICA tax = $8,440.24</span>

The article "Expectation Analysis of the Probability of Failure for Water Supply Pipes"† proposed using the Poisson distribution

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

a. P(X ≤ 5) = 0.999

b. P(X > λ+λ) = P(X > 2) = 0.080

Step-by-step explanation:

We model this randome variable with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=1.

We have to calculate, using this distribution, P(X ≤ 5).

The probability of k pipeline failures can be calculated with the following equation:

$P(k)=\lambda^{k} \cdot e^{-\lambda}/k!=1^{k} \cdot e^{-1}/k!=e^{-1}/k!$

Then, we can calculate P(X ≤ 5) as:

$P(X\leq5)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(4)+P(5)\\\\\\P(0)=1^{0} \cdot e^{-1}/0!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(1)=1^{1} \cdot e^{-1}/1!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(2)=1^{2} \cdot e^{-1}/2!=1*0.3679/2=0.184\\\\P(3)=1^{3} \cdot e^{-1}/3!=1*0.3679/6=0.061\\\\P(4)=1^{4} \cdot e^{-1}/4!=1*0.3679/24=0.015\\\\P(5)=1^{5} \cdot e^{-1}/5!=1*0.3679/120=0.003\\\\\\P(X\leq5)=0.368+0.368+0.184+0.061+0.015+0.003=0.999$

The standard deviation of the Poisson deistribution is equal to its parameter λ=1, so the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation (X>1+1=2) can be calculated as:

$P(X>2)=1-(P(0)+P(1)+P(2))\\\\\\P(0)=1^{0} \cdot e^{-1}/0!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(1)=1^{1} \cdot e^{-1}/1!=1*0.3679/1=0.368\\\\P(2)=1^{2} \cdot e^{-1}/2!=1*0.3679/2=0.184\\\\\\P(X>2)=1-(0.368+0.368+0.184)=1-0.920=0.080$

Sienna is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square. 3x2 + 9x – 4 = 0 3x2 + 9x = 4 A(x2 + 3x) = 4 What is the valu

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

I am going to show you the first steps to complete squares for the given equation: 1) Starting equation: 3x^2 + 9x -4 = 0 2) Add 4 to both sides => 3x^2 + 9x - 4 + 4 = 4 => 3x^2 + 9x = 4 3) Extract common factor 3 in the left side => 3 (x^2 + 3x). Now, compare with a(x^2 + 3x) and you get a = 3. Answer: a = 3.
