Suppose that the local sales tax rate is 6% and you purchase a computer for $1260.
a. How much tax is paid?
b. What is the computer’s total cost?

Answer: Choice C.  an = 8 + 9(n-1)

===========================================

Work Shown:

a1 = 8 is the first term

a7 = 62 is the seventh term

an = a1+d(n-1) = nth term of arithmetic sequence

a7 = a1+d(7-1) ... plug in n = 7; solve for d

62 = 8+d(6)

62 = 6d+8

6d+8 = 62

6d = 62-8

6d = 54

d = 54/6

d = 9 is the common difference

an = a1 + d(n-1)

an = 8 + 9(n-1) is the nth term of this arithmetic sequence

Answer:

Choice C.  an = 8 + 9(n-1)

Answer:

sin⁴x - sin²x = cos⁴x - cos²x

Solve the right hand side of the equation

That's

sin⁴x - sin²x

From trigonometric identities

So we have

sin⁴x - ( 1 - cos²x)

sin⁴x - 1 + cos²x

sin⁴x = ( sin²x)(sin²x)

That is

( sin²x)(sin²x)

So we have

( 1 - cos²x)(1 - cos²x) - 1 + cos²x

Expand

1 - cos²x - cos²x + cos⁴x - 1 + cos²x

1 - 2cos²x + cos⁴x - 1 + cos²x

Group like terms

That's

cos⁴x - 2cos²x + cos²x + 1 - 1

Simplify

We have the final answer as

So we have

Since the right hand side is equal to the left hand side the identity is true

Answer:

The probability that the average length of rods in a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 259 cm is 0.65173.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 259.2 cm and a standard deviation of 2.1 cm. For shipment, 17 steel rods are bundled together.

Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = the average length of rods in a randomly selected bundle of steel rods

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                            Z  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean length of rods = 259.2 cm

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviaton = 2.1 cm

           n = sample of steel rods = 17

Now, the probability that the average length of rods in a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 259 cm is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 259 cm)

     P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 259 cm) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{259-259.2}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{17} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > -0.39) = P(Z < 0.39)

                                                                = 0.65173

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.39 in the z table which has an area of 0.65173.

Answer:

(A) With 99% confidence, the proportion that favours the Green initiative is between 418.895 and 423.105 (no approximation; answers were gotten exactly in 3 decimal places).

(B) If many groups of 593 (greater than the initial sample size of 556) randomly selected Americans were surveyed then a different confidence interval would be used or produced from each group.

About 90% of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of Americans who favour the Green initiative and about 10% will not contain the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) 99% of 421 = 416.79

421 - 416.79 = 4.21

4.21 ÷ 2 = 2.105

(421-2.105), (421+2.105)

The lower and upper limits are:

[418.895 , 423.105]

(B) A wider confidence interval such as 90% will be better suited in a case of multiple samples like this.

Answer:

9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the speed that Jeremy's father drives Jeremy through traffic is x. When there is no traffic, Jeremy's father drives 18 miles per hour faster than his speed in traffic, x. This would make the speed that Jeremy's father drives Jeremy to school without traffic, 18 / 60 + x. This is as it is 18 miles per hour faster, not 18 miles per minute faster.

Now recall the formula Speed = Distance / Time, or S = D / T. We want the distance here ( How far (in miles) from Jeremy's home to school ) so let's isolate D here in this formula,

S = D / T ⇒ D = S [tex]*[/tex] T - and as you know, the distance from Jeremy's home to school is the same, with or without traffic. So, we can consider case 1 : Jeremy's " distance traveled " in traffic, and case 2 : Jeremy's " distance traveled " without traffic, and make them equal to one another.

20 [tex]*[/tex] x = 12 [tex]*[/tex] ( 18 / 60 + x ),

20x = 3.6 + 12x,

8x = 3.6,

x = 0.45 - Now the distance is 20 [tex]*[/tex] x, and hence 20 [tex]*[/tex] 0.45 = 9 miles

Answer: 0.045 is the growth rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

A generic exponential growth function can be written as:

f(t) = A*(1 + r)^t

where A is the initial amount.

t is the unit of time.

r is the rate of growth.

For example if we have an increase of 10% per year, with an initial population of 100 we have that:

A = 100, r = 10%/100% = 0.10, t = number of years.

the equation will be:

f(t) = 100*(1 + 0.10)^t

Now, in this case the equation is:

S(t) = 152*(1.045)^t

We can write this as:

S(t) = 152*(1 + 0.045)^t

Then 152 is the initial amount and 0.045 is the growth rate.

p' = 0.7317

[tex]\mathbf{P' \sim Normal (\mu = 0.7317, \sigma = 0.02188)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

the objective is to answer the following:

(i) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.

Mean x = 300

(ii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.

Sample size n = 410

(iii) Round your answer to four decimal places.

Sample proportion p' of the drivers who always claimed they buckle up is :

p' = x/n

p' = 300/410

p' = 0.7317

Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P' _ ( , )

The normal distribution is required to be used because we are interested in proportions and the sample size is large.

Let consider X to be the random variable that follows a normal distribution.

X represent the number of people that always claim they buckle up

∴

[tex]P' \sim Normal (\mu = p' , \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}})[/tex]

[tex]P' \sim Normal (\mu = 0.7317, \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.7317(1-0.7317)}{410}})[/tex]

[tex]P' \sim Normal (\mu = 0.7317, \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.7317(0.2683)}{410}})[/tex]

[tex]P' \sim Normal (\mu = 0.7317, \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.19631511}{410}})[/tex]

Answer:

The probability that Pat will pass the exam is 0.02775.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that exam consists of 100 true-false questions. Pat plans to guess the answer to each question without reading it.

If a grade on the exam is 60% or more, Pat will pass the exam.

Let X = grade on the exam by Pat

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 100, p = 0.50).

Here the probability of success is 50% because there is a true-false question and there is a 50-50 chance of both being the correct answer.

Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).

So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]100 \times 0.50[/tex] = 50

and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]

                                                                  = [tex]\sqrt{100 \times 0.50 \times (1-0.50)}[/tex]

                                                                  = 5

So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=50, \sigma^{2} = 5^{2}[/tex])

Now, the probability that Pat will pass the exam is given by = P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 60)

         P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 60) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] [tex]\frac{60-50}{5}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\geq[/tex] 2) = 1 - P(Z < 2)

                                                       = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

Hence, the probability that Pat will pass the exam is 0.02775.

Answer:

A=82°

a= 67.4

c = 60.1

Step-by-step explanation:

For A

A+B+C =180°

A= 180-(B+C)

A= 180-(36+62)

A= 189-(98)

A= 82°

For a

a/sinA= b/sinB

a/sin82= 40/sin36

a= (40*sin82)/sin36

a=( 40*0.9903)/0.5878

a=67.39

Approximately = 67.4

For c

c/sinC= b/sinB

c= (sinC*b)/sinB

c= (sin62*40)/sin36

c =(0.8829*40)/0.5878

c = 60.08

Approximately = 60.1

New height= 41.4 inches

Second new height= 36inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height is assumed to be 36 inches

If it increases by 15%.

15%= 0.15

It's new height =( 36*0.15) +36

New height= 5.4+36

New height = 41.4 inches

This expression (36*0.15) is the expression of adding 15% to the height.

So if the 15% is taken away again , height= 41.4-(36*0.15)

Height= 41.4-5.4

Height= 36 inches
