14.6 is the constant because no matter how many hours she will work (that number could change) it will always be a linear growth of 14.6.

Answer:

Find out the what is the constant of proportionality .

To prove

As given

The total amount, a, in dollars, that Mitra earns is a = 14.6h .

The total amount in dollars is represented by a.

the number of hours that Mitra works by h .

As the total amount is depand upon the working hours.

Thus

a \propto h

a = kh

Where k is the constant of proportionality .

Compare this with the equation a = kh with  a = 14.6h  .

k =14.6

Therefore 14.6  is the constant of proportionality .

KATRIN_1 [288]
Amount of money paid by Jeremy as rent and maintenance of shop per month = $1500
Cost of raw materials and manufacturing per month = $6000
Total cost that Jeremy has to spend per month = (1500 + 6000) dollars
                                                                            = 7500 dollars
Number of individual chocolates sold = 2400
Number of chocolates sold in boxes = 50 boxes
                                                           = (12 * 50) chocolates
                                                           = 600 chocolates
Then
Total number of chocolates sold by Jeremy = 2400 + 600
                                                                       = 3000
Now
Price of each chocolate = 7500/3000 dollars
                                       = 75/30 dollars
                                       = 5/2 dollars
                                       = 2.5 dollars
Price of 600 chocolates = 600 * (5/2) dollars
                                       = 300 * 5 dollars
                                       = 1500 dollars
Price of 12 chocolates = (1500/600) * 12
                                     = 15 * 2
                                     = 30 dollars
Then
We can say that each box of chocolate should be sold at $30. All the loose chocolates should be sold at $2.5 each.

Alan says that two lines in the coordinate plane are perpendicular if and only if the slopes of the lines are m and 1m. Identify
mart [117]

Answer:

First, two lines are perpendicular if one has slope m, and the other has slope -1/m (Not 1m as Alan says)

That is the first error of Alan.

Now, there is another error.

If m = 0, then -1/m tends to minus infinity (in this case we would have a vertical line).

But we can not really divide by zero, so we should state that:

m can not be zero, if a line is horizontal, the perpendicular line must be vertical.

A textbook store sold a combined total 402 of psychology and math textbooks in a week. The number of psychology textbooks sold w
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The number of textbooks of each type were sold is <u>134 math </u>and <u>268 psychology </u>books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of math and psychology textbooks sold in a week is 402.

Now, let the number of math textbooks sold be x.

And, the number of psychology textbooks be 2x.

According to question:

x+2x=402

3x=402

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

x=134

So, total number of math textbooks were 134 .

And, total number of psychology textbooks were 2x=2\times 134

                                                                                 =268.

Therefore, the number of textbooks of each type were sold is 134 math and 268 psychology books.

If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? The headline of a press release states, "Thirty-four Percent of People o
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=63 number of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

n=6138 random sample taken

\hat p=0.34 estimated proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

p true population proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

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 population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

2) Confidence interval

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 98% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.98=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.33, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.33

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.34 - 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.326

0.34 + 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.354

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)
