Does it pay to ask for a raise? A national survey of heads of households showed the percentage of those who asked for a raise and the percentage who got one. According to the survey, of the men interviewed, 21% had asked for a raise and 60% of the men who had asked for a raise received the raise. If a man is selected at random from the survey population of men, find the following probabilities. (Enter your answers to three decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
a) P(man asked for a raise) = 0.21.
b) P(man received raise, given he asked for one) = 0.6.
c) P(man asked for raise and received raise) = 0.126.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
Question a:
21% asked for a raise, so:
P(man asked for a raise) = 0.21.
Question b:
Event A: Asked for a raise.
Event B: Received a raise:
21% had asked for a raise and 60% of the men who had asked for a raise received the raise:
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.21, P(A \cap B) = 0.21*0.6[/tex], thus:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.21*0.6}{0.6} = 0.6[/tex]
P(man received raise, given he asked for one) = 0.6.
Question c:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.21*0.6 = 0.126[/tex]
P(man asked for raise and received raise) = 0.126.

A closed, rectangular-faced box with a square base is to be constructed using only 36 m2 of material. What should the height h and base length b of the box be so as to maximize its volume
Answers
Answer:
[tex]b=h=\sqrt{6}[/tex] m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Bas length of box=b
Height of box=h
Material used in constructing of box=36 square m
We have to find the height h and base length b of the box to maximize the volume of box.
Surface area of box=[tex]2b^2+4bh[/tex]
[tex]2b^2+4bh=36[/tex]
[tex]b^2+2bh=18[/tex]
[tex]2bh=18-b^2[/tex]
[tex]h=\frac{18-b^2}{2b}[/tex]
Volume of box, V=[tex]b^2h[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]V=b^2\times \frac{18-b^2}{2b}[/tex]
[tex]V=\frac{1}{2}(18b-b^3)[/tex]
Differentiate w. r.t b
[tex]\frac{dV}{db}=\frac{1}{2}(18-3b^2)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dV}{db}=0[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(18-3b^2)=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies 18-3b^2=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies 3b^2=18[/tex]
[tex]b^2=6[/tex]
[tex]b=\pm \sqrt{6}[/tex]
[tex]b=\sqrt{6}[/tex]
The negative value of b is not possible because length cannot be negative.
Again differentiate w.r.t b
[tex]\frac{d^2V}{db^2}=-3b[/tex]
At [tex]b=\sqrt{6}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d^2V}{db^2}=-3\sqrt{6}<0[/tex]
Hence, the volume of box is maximum at [tex]b=\sqrt{6}[/tex].
[tex]h=\frac{18-(\sqrt{6})^2}{2\sqrt{6}}[/tex]
[tex]h=\frac{18-6}{2\sqrt{6}}[/tex]
[tex]h=\frac{12}{2\sqrt{6}}[/tex]
[tex]h=\sqrt{6}[/tex]
[tex]b=h=\sqrt{6}[/tex] m

Answers
Answer:
DL/dt = 529 miles/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The radio station (point A) the point just up the radio station ( point B), and the variable position of the plane ( at specif t point C) shape a right triangle wich hypothenuse L is:
L² = d² + x²
d is the constant distance between the plane and the ground
Then differentiation with respect to time on both sides of the equation
2*L*dL/dt = 2*d* Dd/dt + 2*x*dx/dt
But Dd/dt = 0
L*dL/dt = x*dx/dt
x = 5 miles dx/dt = 570 m/h L = √ d² + x² L √ (5)² + (2)²
L = √29 L = 5.39 m
5.39 *DL/dt = 5*570 m/h
DL/dt = 5*570/5.39 miles/h
DL/dt = 528.76 miles/h
DL/dt = 529 miles/h

(x, y) = DNE
relativo minimum
(x, y) =
Answers
Answer:
Relative minimum: [tex]\left(-\frac{5}{2}, -\frac{33}{4}\right)[/tex], Relative maximum: [tex]DNE[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we obtain the First and Second Derivatives of the polynomic function:
First Derivative
[tex]f'(x) = 2\cdot x + 5[/tex] (1)
Second Derivative
[tex]f''(x) = 2[/tex] (2)
Now, we proceed with the First Derivative Test on (1):
[tex]2\cdot x + 5 = 0[/tex]
[tex]x = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
The critical point is [tex]-\frac{5}{2}[/tex].
As the second derivative is a constant function, we know that critical point leads to a minimum by Second Derivative Test, since [tex]f\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) > 0[/tex].
Lastly, we find the remaining component associated with the critical point by direct evaluation of the function:
[tex]f\left(-\frac{5}{2} \right) = \left(-\frac{5}{2} \right)^{2} + 5\cdot \left(-\frac{5}{2} \right) - 2[/tex]
[tex]f\left(-\frac{5}{2} \right) = -\frac{33}{4}[/tex]

Median means the middle number must be 6
5,5,6,6,x is the only way to to get the middle number to be 6
We need to average to 7
(5+5+6+6+x) /5 = 7
(5+5+6+6+x) /5 *5= 7*5
(5+5+6+6+x) =35
22+x = 35

1. The area of a square is less than 25cm2. What can we say about
a. The length of one of its sides?
b. Its perimeter?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us take a nominal square of area 25 cm².
It's length of one of it's sides will be √25 = 5 cm².It's perimeter will be 5*4 = 20 cm.So, in this question, we can say that:-
a. The length of one of its sides will be less than 5 cm.
b. Its perimeter will be less than 20 cm.
Hope it helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
area= 25cm squared
length of one side = 5cm as 5*5 =25
perimeter= 5*4= 20cm
But since the area is less than 25cm squared
we can say that the length of one side is less than 5cm and we can also say that the length of the perimeter is less than 20cm.
Hope this helps.

250 divided by 125 = 2ml
So, 2ml of elixir is administered every 12 hours :) brainliest pls
Answer:
2ml
Step-by-step explanation:
50mg of some potent agent has to be given every 12 hours.
there is a solution that has a concentration of that agent of 125mg/5ml
we need to administer some part of this solution, which we cannot (or should not) change in its structure.
that means the ratio of agent to overall solution stays the same, no matter how much of the solution we administer.
all we need to do is to transit the ratio of 125/5 to represent 50/x (maintaining the said ratio).
in other words, we need to find how many ml we need to administer, so that 50mg of the agent enter the body.
so,
125/5 = 50/x
125x/5 = 50
25x = 50
x = 50/25 = 2
2ml of the solution needs to be administered every 12 hours.

Question 1: x = 6
Question 2: Correct!
Question 3: x = 11
Question 4: Correct!
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
Angle 22x - 2 DOESN'T equal 50 degrees. Only Alternate Interior Angles will equal each other. These two angles are Same Side Interior Angles, meaning if you added them together, they would equal 180 degrees.
Knowing that adding 22x - 2 and 50 will equals 180 degrees, here's how we solve for x:
First, subtract 50 from 180 to find what angle 22x - 2 will equal:
180 - 50 = 130
130 = 22x - 2
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
130 = 22x - 2
(add 2 to both sides)
132 = 22x
(divide both sides by 22)
x = 6
Question 3:
Angle 5x + 15 DOESN'T equal 9x + 11. They make up a line, which is 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles.
With that in mind, to solve for x, add the two equations and set it equal to 180:
5x + 15 + (9x + 11) = 180
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
5x + 15 + 9x + 11 = 180
(add like terms)
14x + 26 = 180
(subtract 26 from both sides)
14x = 154
(divide 14 from both sides)
x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:
Since Brian, the gorilla, was planning a party for his zoo friends, and he sent his elves Jamie and Nancy into the North Pole exhibit to count the penguins and reindeer, and Jamie said there were 40 legs and Nancy said there were 14 heads To determine how many penguins and reindeer were in the exhibit, the following calculation must be performed:
Penguins: 1 head and 2 legs
Reindeers: 1 head and 4 legs
40 - (14 x 2) = X
40 - 28 = X
12 = X
12/2 = 6
14 - 6 = 8
8 x 2 + 6 x 4 = X
16 + 24 = X
40 = X
Therefore, there are 8 penguins and 6 reindeers.

A cyclist rides at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. If she wants to bike 195 km, how long (in hours) must she ride
Answers
1km = 0.621371miles
195 km= ?
cross multiplication
= 121.167 miles
25 miles= 1hour
121.167miles = ?hours
121.167=25x
divide by 25x both sides
=4.84 hours
approx 5hours
She must ride for 5 hours if she wants to bike 195 km.
What is Average speed?Average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken for the body to reach its destination.
Given that cyclist rides at an average speed of 25 miles per hour.
Since 1 km = 0.621371 miles
So 195 km = 121.167 miles
The speed of the cyclist (s) = 24 miles per hour.
Distance covered by the rider = 195 km
Distance covered by the rider (d) = 121.167 miles
By using the formula, time taken by a body, we calculate the time,
⇒ t = d/s
Substitute the value of d and s in above the equation
⇒ t = 121.167/ 24
Apply the division operation,
⇒ t = 5
Hence, she must ride for 5 hours if she wants to bike 195 km.

Answers
Answer:
A. No, because the arcs do not have the same measure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two arcs can be said to be congruent when the length measure of the two arcs are the same and not necessarily the degree measure. This implies that two arcs can have the same degree measure measure but their length may not be the same.
If two arcs have the same measure in one circle, therefore we can say they are congruent or if they have the same measure in congruent circles respectively, they are congruent.
In the two circles given above, although we are not told if both circles are congruent, however, since both arcs have different degree measure, both arcs cannot be congruent.
