Jeff Bezos, who owns Amazon, has a net worth of approximately $143.1 billion (as of mid-2018). An employee in the Amazon distribution center earns about $13 an hour. The estimated lifespan of the employee is 71 years. If the employee worked 24 hours a day, every day of the year from the moment of his birth, how many lifespans would it take for him to earn wages equivalent to Jeff Bezos' net worth? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Im sorta confused about this question? He has decided to remove all the old sod (grass), bring in a new 4 inch layer of topsoil, install new in-ground sprinklers, and reseed the lawn. He seems to think that he'll be able to save money by hauling loads of topsoil from the store himself in his pickup truck, rather than paying for delivery, but I don't think he's right.

The first significant digit in any number must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. It was discovered that first digits do not occur with equal frequency. Probabilities of occurrence to the first digit in a number are shown in the accompanying table. The probability distribution is now known as Benford's Law. For example, the following distribution represents the first digits in 231 allegedly fraudulent checks written to a bogus company by an employee attempting to embezzle funds from his employer. Digit, Probability 1, 0.301 2, 0.176 3, 0.125 4, 0.097 5, 0.079 6, 0.067 7, 0.058 8, 0.051 9, 0.046 [B][U]Fradulent Checks[/U][/B] Digit, Frequency 1, 36 2, 32 3, 45 4, 20 5, 24 6, 36 7, 15 8, 16 9, 7 Complete parts (a) and (b). (a) Using the level of significance α = 0.05, test whether the first digits in the allegedly fraudulent checks obey Benford's Law. Do the first digits obey the Benford's Law?
Yes or No Based on the results of part (a), could one think that the employe is guilty of embezzlement? Yes or No Show frequency percentages Digit Fraud Probability Benford Probability 1 0.156 0.301 2 0.139 0.176 3 0.195 0.125 4 0.087 0.097 5 0.104 0.079 6 0.156 0.067 7 0.065 0.058 8 0.069 0.051 9 0.03 0.046 Take the difference between the 2 values, divide it by the Benford's Value. Sum up the squares to get the Test Stat of 2.725281277 Critical Value Excel: =CHIINV(0.95,8) = 2.733 Since test stat is less than critical value, we cannot reject, so [B]YES[/B], it does obey Benford's Law and [B]NO[/B], there is not enough evidence to suggest the employee is guilty of embezzlement.

The mean age of 10 women in an office is 30 years old. The mean age of 10 men in an office is 29 years old. What is the mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office? Mean is another word for [U]average[/U]. Mean age of women = Sum of all ages women / number of women We're told mean age of women is 30, so we have: Sum of all ages women / 10 = 30 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of all ages of women = 30 * 10 Sum of all ages of women = 300 Mean age of men = Sum of all ages men / number of men We're told mean age of men is 29, so we have: Sum of all ages men / 10 = 29 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of all ages of men = 29 * 10 Sum of all ages of men = 290 [U]Calculate mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office:[/U] mean age of all the people in the office = Sum of all ages of people in the office (men and women) / Total number of people in the office mean age of all the people in the office = (300 + 290) / (10 + 10) mean age of all the people in the office = 590 / 20 mean age of all the people in the office = 29.5 The question asks for nearest year. Since this is a decimal, we round down to either 29 or up to 30. Because the decimal is greater or equal to 0.5 (halfway), we round [U]up[/U] to [B]30[/B]

The mean age of 5 people in a room is 32 years. A person enters the room. The mean age is now 40. What is the age of the person who entered the room? Mean = Sum of Ages in Years / Number of People 32 = Sum of Ages in Years / 5 Cross multiply: Sum of Ages in Years = 32 * 5 Sum of Ages in Years = 160 Calculate new mean after the next person enters the room. New Mean = (Sum of Ages in Years + New person's age) / (5 + 1) Given a new Mean of 40, we have: 40 = (160 + New person's age) / 6 Cross multiply: New Person's Age + 160 = 40 * 6 New Person's Age + 160 = 240 Let the new person's age be n. We have: n + 160 = 240 To solve for n, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=n%2B160%3D240&pl=Solve']we type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: n = [B]80[/B]

The mean age of 5 people in a room is 38 years. A person enters the room. The mean age is now 39. What is the age of the person who entered the room? The mean formulas is denoted as: Mean = Sum of Ages / Total People We're given Mean = 38 and Total People = 5, so we plug in our numbers: 28 = Sum of Ages / 5 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of Ages = 28 * 5 Sum of Ages = 140 One more person enters the room. The mean age is now 39. Set up our Mean formula: Mean = Sum of Ages / Total People With a new Mean of 39 and (5 + 1) = 6 people, we have: 39 = Sum of Ages / 6 But the new sum of Ages is the old sum of ages for 5 people plus the new age (a): Sum of Ages = 140 + a So we have: 29 = (140 + a)/6 Cross multiply: 140 + a = 29 * 6 140 + a = 174 To solve for a, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=140%2Ba%3D174&pl=Solve']we type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get: a = [B]34[/B]
