Older people often have a hard time finding work. AARP reported on the number of weeks it takes a worker aged 55 plus to find a job. The data on number of weeks spent searching for a job collected by AARP (AARP Bulletin, April 2008) Shows that the mean number of weeks a worker aged 55 plus spent to find a job is 22 weeks. The sample standard deviation is 11.89 weeks and sample size is 40.a) Provide a point estimate of the population mean number of weeks it takes a worker aged 55 plus to find a job.
b) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error?
c) What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean?
d) Discuss the degree of skewness found in the sample data. What suggestion would you make for a repeat of this study?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Be the variable of interest:
X: Number of weeks it takes a worker aged 55 plus to find a job
Sample average X[bar]= 22 weeks
Sample standard deviation S= 11.89 weeks
Sample size n= 40
a)
The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean
X[bar]= 22 weeks
It takes on average 22 weeks for a worker aged 55 plus to find a job.
b)
To estimate the population mean using a confidence interval, assuming the variable has a normal distribution is
X[bar] ± [tex]t_{n_1; 1-\alpha /2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
[tex]t_{n-1; 1-\alpha /2}= t_{39; 0.975}= 2.023[/tex]
The structure of the interval is "point estimate" ± "margin of error"
d= [tex]t_{n_1; 1-\alpha /2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]= 2.023*[tex](\frac{11.89}{\sqrt{40} })[/tex]= 3.803
c)
The interval can be calculated as:
[22 ± 3.803]
[18.197; 25.803]
Using s 95% confidence level, you'd expect the population mean of the time it takes a worker 55 plus to find a job will be within the interval [18.197; 25.803] weeks.
d)

— 3х + 7 < 19 ?
Help plz
Answers
Answer:
x > -4
Step-by-step explanation:
— 3х + 7 < 19
Subtract 7 from each side
— 3х + 7-7 < 19-7
-3x < 12
Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality
-3x/-3 > 12/-3
x > -4
Just like any of your two-step equations, in this inequality,
start by isolating the x term which in this case is -3x by
subtracting 7 from both sides.
This gives us -3x < 12.
Solving from here, we divide both sides by -3.
However, when solving inequalities, you need to watch out.
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.
Please give this idea your full attention. Even the most advanced algebra students will sometimes forget to switch the direction of the inequality sign when dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative.
So we end up with x > -4.

Answers
Answer:
The probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of business executives who received a pay raise when they asked for one.
The probability that a business executives received a pay raise when they asked for one is, p = 0.78.
A random sample of n = 4 executives was selected.
The events of any executive receiving a pay raise when they asked for one is independent of the others.
The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 4 and p = 0.78.
The probability mass function of X is:
[tex]P(X=x)={4\choose x}\ (0.78)^{x}\ (1-0.78)^{4-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]
Compute the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one as follows:
[tex]P(X=4)={4\choose 4}\ (0.78)^{4}\ (1-0.78)^{4-4}[/tex]
[tex]=1\times 0.37015056\times 1\\\\=0.37015056\\\\\apporx 0.370[/tex]
Thus, the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.
The Gleason family has a monthly budget of $4,500. Mr. Gleason has a full-time job and takes home $900 each week. Mrs. Gleason works part time and brings home $9 each week. For every hour she works. How many hours per month must Mrs. Gleason work to make sure that she and Mr. Gleason have met their monthly budget?
Answers
Answer:
The value of x from the equation is 100. Thus, Mrs. Gleason should work for 100 hours per month.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this item, we let x be the number of hours per month that Mrs. Gleason should work. The total budget is equal to sum of the amount acquired by Mr. Gleason and Mrs. Gleason. The equation that would express this is,
4,500 = 900(4) + 9x
The value of x from the equation is 100. Thus, Mrs. Gleason should work for 100 hours per month.

Answers
Answer:
Pre-image ABCD has been shifted 2 units right and 1 unit upwards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of the points A,B,C and D of the pre-image ABCD,
A(-4, 4), B(-1, 4), C(-5, 1), D(-2,1)
Coordinates of the points A', B', C' and D' of the image A'B'C'D'.
A'(-2, 5), B'(1, 5), C'(-3, 2), D'(0, 2)
Now we choose points A from the pre-image and A' from the image,
A(-4, 4) → A'(-2, 5)
Rule for the translation will be,
A(-4, 4) → A'(-4+2, 4+1)
Or A(x, y) → A'(x+2, y+1)
Therefore, pre-image ABCD has been shifted 2 units right and 1 unit upwards to form image A'B'C'D'.

Answers
Answer:
The probability that the student is in high school and has visited a foreign country is 0.18.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that in a survey of students, 60% were in high school and 40% were in middle school.
Of the high school students, 30% had visited a foreign country.
Let the Probability that students were in high school = P(H) = 60%
Probability that students were in middle school = P(M) = 40%
Also, let F = event that students had had visited a foreign country
So, Probability that high school students had visited a foreign country = P(F/H) = 30%
Now, probability that the student is in high school and has visited a foreign country is given by = Probability that students were in high school [tex]\times[/tex] Probability that high school students had visited a foreign country

Angle 6= (11x+8) and angle 7=(12x-4) what is the measure of angle 4
Answers
Answer:
Answer is m∠4=40
Step-by-step explanation:
take note that m∠6 & m∠7 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal to each other, therefore m∠6 is equal to m∠7.
m∠6 = m∠7 (vertical angles)
11x + 8 = 12x – 4
12x - 11x = 8 + 4
x = 12
so
m∠6 = 11x + 8
m∠6 = 11(12) + 8
m∠6 = 132 + 8
m∠6 = 140
m∠4 = 180 - m<6
m∠4 = 180 - 140
m∠4 = 40

A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 28 miles
per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip
upstream to a certain point in 35 minutes; the return trip
takes 21 minutes. What is the speed of the current?
Answers
Answer:
7mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Time Taken to go upstream Tup = 35 min
Time Taken to go downstream Tdown=21 min.
Let the absolute speed (i.e speed relative to the stationary riverbed) be :
Vup : going upstream
Vdown: going downstream.
We know that the distance traveled upstream = distance traveled downstream, hence we can equate both distances, i.e. :
Distance Traveled Upstream = Distance Traveled Downstream
Vup · Tup = Vdown · Tdown (substituting the values for time above)
35Vup = 21Vdown
Vup = (21/35) Vdown ------------(eq 1)
We are also given that the motorboat can travel at V = 28 mph relative to the water.
Since going upstream, we are going AGAINST the current, relative to the riverbed, we expect to be travelling slower. In fact, the absolute difference between the speed relative to the water (i.e V = 28 mph) and the speed relative to the seabed (i.e Vup), is equal to the speed of the current.
The same can be said for going downstream WITH the current, that the absolute difference between V = 28mph and Vdown is also equal to the speed of the current.
Hence we can equate the two:
28 - Vup = Vdown - 28
Vup + Vdown = 2(28)
Vup + Vdown = 56 ---------------------(eq 2)
If we solve the system of equations (eq 1) and (eq2), we will get
Vup = 21 mph and Vdown = 35 mph
(sanity check tells us that this makes sense because we expect to be going slower upstream because we are going against the current)
Hence current speed
= 28-Vup
= 28 - 21
= 7 mph. (answer)
Sanity Check:
Current speed can also be written:
= Vdown-28
= 35 - 28
= 7 mph (same as what we found above, so this checks out)
The speed of the current motorboat = 7 mph
What is an expression?
Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Speed of boat in still water = 28 mph
Let the speed of stream = w
Here, The upstream time is 35 min = 35/60 h = 7/12 h
downstream time is 21 min = 21/60 h = 7/20 hours
Since, The distance (d = vt) traveled either way is the same, but at different speeds and times.
Hence, Set upstream and downstream distances (vt) equal and solve for w as;
⇒ (28 - w)(7/12) = (28 + w)(7/20)
⇒ 20 (28 - w) = 12 (28 + w)
⇒ 5(28 - w) = 3(28 + w)
⇒ 140 - 5w = 84 + 3w
⇒ 140 - 84 = 5w + 3w
⇒ 56 = 8w
⇒ w = 7
Thus, The speed of the current = 7 mph

(MISSING PART OF THE QUESTION: AVERAGE WAITING TIME = 2.5 MINUTES)
Step 1For such problems, we can use probability density function, in which probability is found out by taking integral of a function across an interval.
Probability Density Function is given by:
[tex]f(t)=\left \{ {{0 ,\-t<0 }\atop {\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}},t\geq0} \right. \\[/tex]
Consider the second function:
[tex]f(t)=\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}\\[/tex]
Where Average waiting time = μ = 2.5
The function f(t) becomes
[tex]f(t)=0.4e^{-0.4t}[/tex]
Step 2The manager wants to give free hamburgers to only 1% of her costumers, which means that probability of a costumer getting a free hamburger is 0.01
The probability that a costumer has to wait for more than x minutes is:
[tex]\int\limits^\infty_x {f(t)} \, dt= \int\limits^\infty_x {}0.4e^{-0.4t}dt[/tex]
which is equal to 0.01
Step 3Solve the equation for x
[tex]\int\limits^{\infty}_x {0.4e^{-0.4t}} \, dt =0.01\\\\\frac{0.4e^{-0.4t}}{-0.4}=0.01\\\\-e^{-0.4t} |^\infty_x =0.01\\\\e^{-0.4x}=0.01[/tex]
Take natural log on both sides
[tex]ln (e^{-0.4x})=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=-4.61\\x= 11.53[/tex]
ResultsThe costumer has to wait x = 11.53 mins ≅ 12 mins to get a free hamburger
