Jerry makes $40,000 a year working at a nearby factory. He gets two weeks paid vacation per year, plus five other paid holidays.

He wants to figure out his per-diem (daily) pay, so he divides 40,000 by 365, which yields $109.59. Is this the correct answer?

No because 40,000 doesn't include the paid vacations and holidays. the 40,000 is likely the working salary

Answer:

Vacation pays are not included in salaries. Therefore, Jerry's calculation is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is :

Jerry makes $40,000 a year working at a nearby factory.

He gets two weeks paid vacation per year, plus five other paid holidays.

So total paid holidays become = 14+5=19 days

Subtracting 19 from 365 days and assuming that Jerry works for 365 days a year.

We get = 365-19=346 days

So, his per day salary will be = \frac{40000}{346}= 115.60

Vacation pays are not included in salaries. Therefore, Jerry's calculation is wrong.

Mr. Peterson needs topsoil for his garden. His rectangular garden is 78 in long and 48 in wide. A bag of topsoil covers an area
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

3744 inches squared, and 8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Ⓗⓘ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ

˜”*°•.˜”*°• Area: •°*”˜.•°*”˜

Well, the formula for area is L*W

L=78 inches

W=48 inches

78*48=3744 inches squared

˜”*°•.˜”*°• Number of bags: •°*”˜.•°*”˜

3744/500=7.448

So he would need to buy 8 bags

Roger and rita each drive at a constant speed between phoenix and san diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the
never [62]

Answer:

a)Rita had a 28-mile head start

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiple options have been added in the additional information below the problem statement.

<u>Missing Information:</u>

Since the distance of each driver is not displayed. Let us assume their distances.

Say,

Roger travelled distance = 60 miles

Rita travelled distance = 32 miles

Now as it is given in the problem statement that Roger and Rita both drove at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego and they drove "Same Section of the trip" .

Which Means that the distance travelled of both is between Phoenix and San Diego, just their starting points are different but their end point is the same which is San Diego.

<em><u>As we can see RIta had to cover less miles which means she got the head start, now to calculate how much of a head start she got, we need:</u></em>

Head Start Rita got = Distance Roger travelled - Distance Rita Travelled

Head Start Rita got = 60 - 32 = 28 miles

So,

Rita got a Head start of 28 miles which is option (a)

The average weight of a chicken egg is 2.25 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. You take a random sample of a dozen
n200080 [17]

Answer:

P(\bar X

P(\bar X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Let X the random variable that represent interest on this case, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)  

And let \bar X represent the sample mean, the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

On this case  \bar X \sim N(2.25,\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{12}})

Solution to the problem

We want this probability:

P(\bar X

The best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(\bar X

P(\bar X
