The nation of Finlandia has 120,000 people. Of these, 20,000 are children under 16, 72,000 have jobs, 8,000 don't have jobs but are looking for work, and 20,000 are retired. With this info, calculate the labor force participation rate and the unemployment rate.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

[tex]\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]\text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}[/tex]

[tex]= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%[/tex]

The unemployment rate is computed as:

[tex]\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%[/tex]

Hence, labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Which of these quadrilateral types must have all four sides congruent?

A. Rectangle, square
B. Parallelogram, rectangle, square, rhombus
C. Square, rhombus
D. Rectangle, square, rhombus

Answers

C. Square & rhombus

C. Square, a rhombus is the right answer.

What does it mean that all four sides are congruent?

A rhombus is a parallelogram in which all four sides are congruent. Shaped like a diamond. A square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles. In other words, squares are rectangles and diamonds.

Exactly all the shapes on the four sides are called squares. Each type of figure here is a square type. The lengths of the congruent sides are the same. If parallel sides are drawn as lines, they never intersect.

Two triangles are congruent If the corresponding sides have the same length and the corresponding angles are the same, then the two triangles are congruent.

The tennis courts are 3 blocks west and 2 blocks south of Miguel’s house. The bike path is 5 blocks east and 2 blocks south of Miguel’s house. How many blocks are the tennis courts from the bike path?

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

If Miguel's house is (0,0), then the tennis court is (-3,-2), and the bike path is (5,-2). There fore, we can just count the squares between the tennis court and the bike path, which is 8.

Hope that this helps!

From the coordinate calculation, here tennis courts are 8 blocks far from the bike path.

Given that,
The tennis courts are 3 blocks west and 2 blocks south of Miguel’s house. The bike path is 5 blocks east and 2 blocks south of Miguel’s house. How many blocks are the tennis courts from the bike path is to be detemined.


What is coordinate?

Coordinate, is represented as the values on the x-axis and the y-axis of the graph.

Here on the graph,
Assume that Miguel's house is (0,0),
then accoding to the question the tennis court is (-3,-2), and the bike path is (5,-2).
Now, difference in the position dx = 5 - (-3)
                                                    = 8

Thus, from the coordinate calculation, here tennis courts are 8 blocks far from the bike path.

B.People in charge of repairs at the store. C.People who bought a major appliance from the store. D.Prospective buyers who visit the store.

Answers

Answer:

C. People who bought a major appliance from the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

A customer satisfaction survey is a market survey carried out to analyze how satisfied users or customers are in using or consuming a particular product or service. Basically, it has to be carried out on the customers themselves. By costumers, we mean those that have bought and/or used the service or product.

For the local appliance store, the manager should survey people that have bought at least one major appliance from the store. Those are the right people that should make up the population to be surveyed. This is because;

i. They are the consumers of the product.

ii. They have bought and definitely used the product.

iii. They have some usable and useful experiences since they have handled the product.

A.

B.

C.

D.

Answers

Answer:  C) Trapezoid

Refer to the figure below. Note how sides BC and AD are parallel. We have exactly one pair of parallel sides, so that's why we have a trapezoid.

The figure with the vertices (0,0), (-1, 1), (6, 1), and (2, 0) is a trapezoid

What is a trapezoid?

The Trapezoid is a 4 sided polygon. Two sides of the shape are parallel to each other and they are termed as the bases of the trapezoid. The non-parallel sides are known as the legs or lateral sides of a trapezoid.

There are three types of trapezoids , and those are given below:

a) Isosceles Trapezoid

b) Scalene Trapezoid

c) Right Trapezoid

The area of the Trapezoid is given by

Area of Trapezoid = ( ( a + b ) h ) / 2

where , a = shorter base of trapezium

b = longer base of trapezium

h = height of trapezium

Given data ,

Let the coordinates of the figure be represented as ABCD

Now , the vertices of the figure is

A ( 0 , 0 ) , B ( -1 , 1 ) , C ( 6 , 1 ) and D ( 2 , 0 )

On plotting the coordinates in the graph , we get a trapezoid with

The longer base = BC

The shorter base = AD

So , the figure is a trapezoid

Hence , the vertices represents a trapezoid

A jazz concert brought in ​$167,000 on the sale of 8,200 tickets. If the tickets sold for $15 and $25 ​each, how many of each type of ticket were​ sold?

Answers

Answer:

x=3800, y=4400

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=8200 equation 1

15x+25y=167000 equation 2

x=8200-y isolate x in equation 1

15(8200-y)+25y=167000 substitute value of x from equation 1 into equation 2

123000-15y+25y=167000

10y=44000

y=4400

solve for x by inserting y value into either equation.

x+y=8200

x+4400=8200

x=3800

Check answer:

15x+25y=167000

15(3800)+25(4400)=167000

A child weighs 44 lbs. The physician orders a medication for 10 mg/Kg/day. What do you give per day? (Use 0.45 for your conversion

Answers

Answer:

198 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

A child weighs 44 lbs.

Step 1

We convert the child's weight to kg

1 Ibs = 0.45kg

44 Ibs = x

Cross Multiply

1 Ibs × x = 44 Ibs × 0.45 kg

x = 44 Ibs × 0.45 kg/1 Ibs

x = 19.8 kg

Step 2

The physician orders a medication for 10 mg/Kg/day.

From the above statement, we know that:

10mg = 1 kg

Hence, what you give per day is calculated as:

1 kg = 10 mg

19.8kg = x

Cross Multiply

1 kg × x = 19.8kg × 10mg

x = 19.8kg × 10mg/1kg

x = 198mg

Therefore, what you will give per day to a child of 19.8kg(44 Ibs) is 198mg per day

23

picking a tile that is the letter Y as a fraction and as a percent. From which bag are you more likely

to pick a tile that is the letter Y?

The probability of picking the letter Y from bag of 50 letters is 23/50 or 0.46 or 46% and probability of picking the letter Y form bag of 200 letters is 172/200 or 0.86 or 86%. as the probability of getting the letter Y is more in second bag this it is better to pick the bag containing 200 letters.

What is a probability?

The probability explains the chances of happening a event. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, 0 indicates impossibility of the event to happen and 1 indicates certainty of the event to happen.

From the question it is said that a bag of 50 letter contain 23 Y letters. Thus the probability of the letter Y picking is 23/50 i.e, number of times the letter Y can come out if we pick the letters 50  times. So, it is certain that 23 Y letters can come out.

23/50= 0.46 or 46%

And if the bag contain 200 letters in which 172 are Y letters then the probability to pick Y is 172/200

172/100 =0.86 or 86%

As the chance to get Y letter is mor in bag containing 200 letters thus pick this bag.

thus the 1st bag probability is 46% and for 2nd bag is 86%. Hence choose 2nd bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that Lucas and Tony trying to solve expressed as: x^2=16x+25

This can be written in standard form as x^2 - 16x - 25 = 0

This can then be factorized using the general formula

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a where a, b and c are constants
