Percy works two part-time jobs to help pay for college classes. On Monday, he works 3 hours at the library and 2 hours at the co

ffee cart and earns $36.50. On Tuesday, he works 2 hours at the library and 5 hours at the coffee cart and earns $50. His hourly wage at the library, x, and hourly wage at the coffee cart, y, can be determined using the system of equations below. 3x + 2y = 36.50 2x + 5y = 50.00 At which job does Percy earn the greater hourly wage? How much does Percy earn each hour at this job? Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.00 at the library. Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.00 at the coffee cart. Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.50 at the library. Percy earns a greater hourly wage of $7.50 at the coffee cart.

To solve the system, the best way to do it is by eliminatiion.  Multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by 3.  This changes the system to -6x-4y= -73 and 6x+15y= 150.  When you add those together, the x's are eliminated, leaving 11y = 77 and y = 7.  Sub that in to any one of the above equations to solve for x.  6x + 15(77) = 150 and 6x + 105 = 150.  6x = 45 and x=7.5.  If x is the library and y is the coffee cart, then he makes more at the library.  Your choices aren't numbered, but it's the third one.

The menu price of a sandwich at a restaurant is $6. The purchase is subject to a 5% food tax, and you would like to leave a tip
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of sandwich = $6

Food tax = 5% of $6

= 0.05 × $6

= $0.3

Tip = 20% of $6

= 0.2 × $6

= $1.2

Total cost of meal:

= $6 + $0.3 + $1.2

= $7.5

Explain and discuss why engineers usually want the minimum variance unbiased estimator achieved by using the MVUE in making engi
Triss [41]

Answer:

Since the name indicates Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator-first of all it is a parameter estimator. Secondly, it is an unbiased estimator so that the sample is carried out randomly. I.e. whenever a sample is chosen, there is no personal bias.

Then we can consider more than one sample-based unbiased estimator but sometimes they can vary in variation. But we have always intended to select an estimator that has minimal variance.

Therefore if the unbiased estimator has minimal variation between all unbiased class estimators then it is known as a good estimator.

The advantage of MVUE is that it is impartial and has a minimal variance of all unbiased estimators amongst the groups.

At times we get an estimator such as MLE which is not unbiased because the sample can be personally biased. Now let us assume an instructor needs to find the lowest marks in a physics class. Presume an instructor picks a sample and interprets the lowest possible marks.

Again the mistake could be that the instructor may choose his favorite sample learners because the sample might not be selected randomly. Therefore it is important to select an unbiased estimate with a minimum variance.

Caroline resting heart is 52 beats per minute (bpm). When she starts running her heart rate increases 1.25% each second until it
horsena [70]

Answer:74.55 beat per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Heart beat is 52 beat per minute

i.e. B=\frac{52}{60} beat per sec

If heart rate is increases 1.25 % each sec

suppose B is the heart beat at first second therefore heat beat at 2 nd second

B_2=B+1.25 \% B

B_2=B(1+1.25 \% )

For 3 rd sec

B_3=B(1+1.25\%)+1.25\%B(1+1.25\%)

B_3=B(1+1.25\%)^2

similarly for 3 sec

B_{30}=B(1+1.25\%)^{29}

B_{30}=1.433B

B_{30}=1.242\ \text{beat per second }

B_{30}=74.55\ \text{beat per minute}
