8% of the employees at a shop work part time. If there are 4 part time employees at the shop, how many employees are there in to

tal?

Murljashka [212]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

50 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion which would be

4/x = 8/100

This shows 4 out of x people is the same as 8% of 100.

We divide 100 by 8, and then multiply by 4 to get 50.

We can check this by plugging 50 into the proportion.

4/50 = 0.08

8/100= 0.08

There are 50 total employees at the shop.

If h(x) = 5 x and k(x)=1/x, which expression is equivalent to (koh)(x)?

Lyrx [107]

May be there is an operator missing in the first function, h(x). I will solve this in two ways, 1) as if the h(x) = 5x and 2) as if h(x) = 5 + x

1) If h(x) = 5x and k(x) = 1/x

Then (k o h) (x) = k ( h(x) ) = k(5x) = 1/(5x)

2) If h(x) = 5 + x and k (x) = 1/x

Then (k o h)(x) =k ( h(x) ) = k (5+x) = 1 / [5 + x]

The ratio of the number of student in mr. Moore’s class compared to the number of student in miss Henry’s class is 5:4. The rati

Ahat [919]

Answer:

10:9

Step-by-step explanation:

First ratio is 5:4. 4 is equal to Henry class

If you múltiply the ratio by 2 you get

10:8, This ratio can be compared because now Henry class has 8

2(5:4)

10:8

8:9

Meaning that the answer is 10:9

We're testing the hypothesis that the average boy walks at 18 months of age (H0: p = 18). We assume that the ages at which boys

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

II. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .01.

III. This finding is significant for a one-tailed test at .01.

d. II and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=19.2$ represent the battery life sample mean

$\sigma=2.5$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=25$ sample size

$\mu_o =18$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean battery life is equal to 18 or not for parta I and II:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 18$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 18$

And for part III we have a one tailed test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 18$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 18$

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{19.2-18}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{25}}}=2.4$

4) P-value

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=25-1=24$

Since is a two tailed test for parts I and II, the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(24)}>2.4)=0.0245$

And for part III since we have a one right tailed test the p value is:

$p_v =P(t_{(24)}>2.4)=0.0122$

5) Conclusion

I. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .05.

Since the $p_v$ . We reject the null hypothesis so we don't have a significant result. FALSE

II. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .01.

Since the $p_v >\alpha$ . We FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so we have a significant result. TRUE.

III. This finding is significant for a one-tailed test at .01.

Since the $p_v >\alpha$ . We FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so we have a significant result. TRUE.

So then the correct options is:

d. II and III only

Cheese costs $4.40 per pound. Find the cost per kilogram. (1kg = 2.2lb)

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The cost is $9.70 per kilogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by a rule of three.

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.

In this problem, the measures are the weight of the cheese and the price. As the weight increases, so does the price. It means that this is a direct rule of three.

Solution:

The problem states that cheese costs $4.40 per pound. Each kg has 2.2 pounds. How many kg are there in 1 pound. So:

1 pound - xkg

2.2 pound - 1 kg

$2.2x = 1$

$x = \frac{1}{2.2}$

$x = 0.45$ kg

Since cheese costs $4.40 per pound, and each pound has 0.45kg, cheese costs $4.40 per 0.45kg. How much does is cost for 1kg?

$4.40 - 0.45kg

$x - 1kg

$0.45x = 4.40$

$x = \frac{4.40}{0.45}$

$x = 9.70$

The cost is $9.70 per kilogram.

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs \$3.25$3.25dollar

sdas [7]

Complete question:

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs \$3.25$3.25dollar sign, 3, point, 25. Then, he wants to buy as many pancakes as he can, but he wants his bill to be at most \$30$30dollar sign, 30 before tax. The restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 444 pancakes for \$5.50$5.50dollar sign, 5, point, 50. Let SSS represent the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of chocolate milk = $3.25

Cost of pancakes = $5.50 (stack of 4)

Number of stacks of pancakes purchased = S

Maximum amount spent ≤ $30

Cost of chocolate + (Cost of pancake stack * number of stacks) ≤ $30

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30

5.50S ≤ 30 - 3.25

5.50S ≤ 26.75

S ≤ 26.75 / 5.50

S ≤ 4.86

Hence maximum number of pancake stacks he can purchase without exceeding budget = 4

Hence total number of pancakes = number of stacks * number in a stack

= 4 * 4

= 16
