Dave buys a baseball for $15 plus an 8% tax. Mel buys a football for $20 plus an 8% tax. What is the difference in the amount Dave and Mel paid, including tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  $5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find the tax amount for Dave by multiplying 8% by 15.

8% * 15 =  1.2  

Now add it to the original price of the baseball which is 15.

15 + 1.2= 16.20  This means Dave paid $16.20 in total.

Now find the tax amount for Mel.

20 * 8% = 1.6  

Add 1.6 to the original price which is $20.

1.6 + 20 = 21.60    

Mel also paid $21.60 in total.

To find the difference  we need to subtract the lowest amount from the highest amount.

21.60 - 16.20 = 5.40

Health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company. The sample data below show the number of companies providing health insurance for small, medium, and large companies. For purposes of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than 100 employees. Medium-sized companies have 100 to 999 employees, and large companies have 1,000 or more employees. The questionnaire sent to 225 employees asked whether or not the employee had health insurance and then asked the employee to indicate the size of the company.
Health Insurance
Size of the Company Yes No Total
Small 36 14 50
Medium 65 10 75
Large 88 12 100
A. Conduct a test of independence to determine whether health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the company. What is the p-value? Compute the value of the χ2 test statistic (to 2 decimals). Using α .05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?
B. A newspaper article indicated employees of small companies are more likely to lack health insurance coverage. Calculate the percentages of employees without health insurance based on company size (to the nearest whole number). Based on the percentages calculated above, what can you conclude?

Answers

Answer:

A) The critical value found is 5.99 which is < the test statistic value ( 6.94 ) hence we will reject the null hypothesis (H₀)

The P-value associated is : 0.031 which is < 0.05 ( level of significance )

B) from the calculation it can be sen that employees of small companies are more likely without health insurance

Step-by-step explanation:

A) To conduct a test of independence

we apply the hypothesis test

Null hypothesis (H₀) = The health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the company

Alternative hypothesis (H₁)  = The health insurance coverage is not independent of the size of the company

The test statistic is calculated  as attached below

also the expected values are attached below indicating the formula used

E = expected value

O = observed value

Test statistic value ( as calculated ) = 6.94

The critical value found is 5.99 which is < the test statistic value ( 6.94 ) hence we will reject the null hypothesis (H₀)

The P-value associated is : 0.031 which is < 0.05 ( level of significance )

B) percentage of employees without health insurance

Small company : 14/50 * 100 = 28%

medium company: 10/75 * 100 = 13%

large company : 12/100 * 100 = 12%

from the above calculation it can be sen that employees of small companies are more likely without health insurance

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP

:

1.1     Evaluate :  (x-6)2   =    x2-12x+36  

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.2     Factoring  x2-12x-16  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -12x  its coefficient is  -12 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -16  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -16 = -16  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -16  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -12 .

     -16    +    1    =    -15  

     -8    +    2    =    -6  

     -4    +    4    =    0  

     -2    +    8    =    6  

     -1    +    16    =    15  

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Parabola, Finding the Vertex

2.1      Find the Vertex of   y = x2-12x-16

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).  

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.  

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.  

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is   6.0000  

Plugging into the parabola formula   6.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :  

 y = 1.0 * 6.00 * 6.00 - 12.0 * 6.00 - 16.0

or   y = -52.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = x2-12x-16

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={ 6.00}  

Vertex at  {x,y} = { 6.00,-52.00}  

x -Intercepts (Roots) :

Root 1 at  {x,y} = {-1.21, 0.00}  

Root 2 at  {x,y} = {13.21, 0.00}  

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

2.2     Solving   x2-12x-16 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Add  16  to both side of the equation :

  x2-12x = 16

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  12 , divide by two, giving  6 , and finally square it giving  36  

Add  36  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  16  +  36    or,  (16/1)+(36/1)  

 The common denominator of the two fractions is  1   Adding  (16/1)+(36/1)  gives  52/1  

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2-12x+36 = 52

Adding  36  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2-12x+36  =

  (x-6) • (x-6)  =

 (x-6)2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2-12x+36 = 52 and

  x2-12x+36 = (x-6)2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x-6)2 = 52

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #2.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x-6)2   is

  (x-6)2/2 =

 (x-6)1 =

  x-6

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #2.2.1  we get:

  x-6 = √ 52

Add  6  to both sides to obtain:

  x = 6 + √ 52

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

  x2 - 12x - 16 = 0

  has two solutions:

 x = 6 + √ 52

  or

 x = 6 - √ 52

Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula

2.3     Solving    x2-12x-16 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .

According to the Quadratic Formula,  x  , the solution for   Ax2+Bx+C  = 0  , where  A, B  and  C  are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :

                                     

           - B  ±  √ B2-4AC

 x =   ————————

                     2A

 In our case,  A   =     1

                     B   =   -12

                     C   =  -16

Accordingly,  B2  -  4AC   =

                    144 - (-64) =

                    208

Applying the quadratic formula :

              12 ± √ 208

  x  =    ——————

                     2

Can  √ 208 be simplified ?

Yes!   The prime factorization of  208   is

  2•2•2•2•13  

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be  2  instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 208   =  √ 2•2•2•2•13   =2•2•√ 13   =

               ±  4 • √ 13

 √ 13   , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is   3.6056

So now we are looking at:

          x  =  ( 12 ± 4 •  3.606 ) / 2

Two real solutions:

x =(12+√208)/2=6+2√ 13 = 13.211

or:

x =(12-√208)/2=6-2√ 13 = -1.211

Answer: X=root of14 -6; x = -root of14 -6

DNA helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the DNA strands, topoisomerases alleviate positive supercoiling, and single-strand binding proteins hold the parental strands apart.C. Topoisomerases unravel the intertwined chromosomes, if necessary.D. Primase synthesizes one RNA primer in the leading strand and many RNA primers in the lagging strand, and DNA polymerase III synthesizes the daughter strands of DNA. E. DNA polymerase I removes the RNA primers and fills in that region with DNA, and DNA ligase covalently links Okazaki fragments together. F. Replication continues until the two replication forks meet on the other side of the circular bacterial chromosome. Two new wind-farm tower projects are proposed for a small company that installs them in south western Pennsylvania. Project A will cost $250,000 to complete and is expected to have an annual net cash flow of $75,000. Project B will cost $150,000 to complete and should generate annual net cash flows of $52,000. As a small company, the owner and senior management team are very concerned about their cash flow. Use the payback period method and determine which project is better from a cash flow standpoint. Show your work and include any formulas used to calculate PP. Can someone please help me
