<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours 36 minutes, or 6 hours 31 1/2 minutes

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Dividing the task among the 6 committee members means each member will be making 525/6 = 87.5, that is, either 87 or 88 flowers. (We doubt that two people working together on the same flower will finish it in half the time.)

Each of the three committee members making 88 flowers will take ...

... 88 × 4 1/2 minutes = 396 minutes = 6 hours 36 minutes

Each member making 87 flowers will be finished 4 1/2 minutes sooner, after 6 hours 31 1/2 minutes.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This problem seemingly invites you to divide the labor evenly among committe members. Doing that would give you an answer of 6 hours 33 3/4 minutes. You need to ask yourself whether that is practical for this situation.

A nutritionist attempts to determine an association between where food is prepared and the number of calories the food contains.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Given the conditional relative frequency table below which was generated by column using frequency table data comparing the number of calories in a meal to whether the meal was prepared at home or at a restaurant.

Number of Calories and Location of Meal Preparation.
                                   Home                Restaurant            Total
≥ 500 calories              0.15                      0.55                  0.28

< 500 calories              0.85                      0.45                  0.72

Total                             1.0                        1.0                    1.0

To determine whether there is an association between where food is prepared and the number of carories the food contain, we recall that an "association" exists between two categorical variables if the column conditional relative frequencies are different for the columns of the table. The bigger the differences in the conditional relative frequencies, the stronger the association between the variables. If the conditional relative frequencies are nearly equal for all categories, there may be no association between the variables. Such variables are said to be <span>independent.

For the given conditional relative freduency, we can see that there is a significant difference between the columns of the table.
i.e. 0.15 is significantly different from 0.55 and 0.85 is significantly different from 0.45

Therefore, we can conclude from the given answer options that t</span><span>here is an association because the value 0.15 is not similar to the value 0.55</span>

Joanna, the line manager at Smedley Electronics, works 14 hours a week more than her line workers and gets paid $6.50 more per h
chubhunter [2.5K]
Given:
Joanna :
works 14 hrs a week more than her line workers.
gets paid 6.50 more per hour than her line workers.

Line workers: h = hours per week ; d = dollars per hour.

Line worker = Dollar per hour * number of hours.
Joanna = (Dollar per hour + 6.50)(number of hours + 14 hours)

Line worker:
$576 = d * 36 hours
$576/36 = d
$16 = d    hourly rate of line worker.

Joanna:
$16 + 6.50 = $22.50 hourly rate
36hrs + 14hrs = 50 hours per week.

Weekly pay of Joanna: $22.50 * 50 = $1,125

If trapezoid JKLM with vertices) (3, 4), K (6,4), L (8, 1) and M (1,1) is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise, what are the
Stels [109]

Answer:

J' = (4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

J = (3, 4)

K =(6,4)

L = (8, 1)

M = (1,1)

Rotation = 270CCW

Required

Determine the new coordinate of J

From rules of rotation,

When a point (x,y) is rotated 270 degrees CCW;

The new point becomes (y,-x)

Considering point J

J = (3, 4)

This means

(x,y) = (3,4)

Where x = 3 and y = 4

Using the above rotation rule of

(x,y) -> (y,-x)

The coordinates of J' becomes

J' = (4,-3)
