Suppose the purchase price of a dining room set is $950. If the sales tax is $47.50, what is the sales tax rate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

this question is really asking what percent of 950 is 47.5?

is/of = %/100

47.5 is the 'is'

950 is the 'of'

'r' is the 'what percent'

47.5/950 = r/100

cross-multiply to get:

950r = 4750

r = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Price x sales  tax rate = sales tax

950 x sales tax rate =47.50

sales tax rate =47.50/950

sales tax rate = .05 or 5%

Given f(x) = x − 7 and g(x) = x2 .

Find g(f(4)).

Answers

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x − 7 and g(x) = x^2

g(f(4))

First find f(4)

f(4) = 4-7 = -3

Then put this result in g(x)

g(-3) = (-3) ^2 = 9

g(f(4) = 9

g(f(4)) =9.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

A 35-foot ladder is set against the side of the house so it reaches up 21 feet.

Then the base length will be

  35² = 21² + b²

1225 = 441 + b²

   b² = 784

     b = 28 feet

If the ladder is at its base and pulls it 4 feet farther from the house.

Then the height of the house that can be ladder reach now will be

  35² = 32² + h²

1225 = 1024+ h²

   h² = 201

     h = 14.18 feet

Answers

Answer:

28.749 km

Step-by-step explanation:

in reality

1 foot = 0.3048 meters not 0.37

1 mile = 5,280 feet not 5,180

15 miles  = 24.14016 kilometers

The mean salary offered to students who are graduating from Coastal State University this year is , with a standard deviation of . A random sample of Coastal State students graduating this year has been selected. What is the probability that the mean salary offer for these students is or less

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the mean salary offer is of X or less is the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean salary for the population, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Z-score with the Central Limit Theorem:

Z-is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean salary offer for these students is X or less?

The probability that the mean salary offer is of X or less is the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean salary for the population, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population and n is the size of the sample.

Answer:

-16c⁵/3

Step-by-step explanation:

whenever exponents are separated by parentheses, multiply them

when dividing (and bases are the same), subtract exponents

anything raised to a negative exponent becomes a fraction with 1 in the numerator and the term goes in the denominator with a positive exponent

ex, 4^-1 equals 1/4;  3^-2 equals 1/9

[(-4)³·c^-4] ÷ 12c^-8

= -64c⁵/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these questions can be solved the same way. Each quadratic gives height as a function of time. You're interested in the time at which the height is zero. Factor the quadratic and find the positive value of x that makes the relevant factor be zero.

__

1) y = -15x(x -5)

  x = 5 makes the second factor zero

The golf ball is in the air 5 seconds.

__

2) y = -12x(x -4.5)

  x = 4.5 makes the second factor zero

The football is in the air for 4.5 seconds.

Additional comment

The "zero product rule" tells you a product will be zero if and only if one or more of the factors is zero. When a factored quadratic (or any other polynomial) is zero, one of the factors must be zero. If the factor is of the form (ax+b), then the corresponding solution is ...

  ax+b = 0   ⇒   ax = -b   ⇒   x = -b/a

That is, once you have the factored form, you can write the solutions "by inspection."

In ΔVWX, the measure of ∠X=90°, XW = 65, WV = 97, and VX = 72. What is the value of the cosine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth?

Answers

Answer:

The cosine of ∠V is of 0.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relations in a right triangle:

The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

XW = 65, WV = 97, and VX = 72.

[tex]\sqrt{65^2+72^2} = 97[/tex], and thus, this is a right triangle.

What is the value of the cosine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth?

The hypotenuse is the largest side, that is, WV = 97.

The adjacent side of angle V is VX = 72. So

[tex]\cos{B} = \frac{72}{97} = 0.74[/tex]

The cosine of ∠V is of 0.74.

The point (3,−4) lies on the graph of y=(x−5)2+k where k is some constant. Which other point must also lie on the same graph?

Answers

Answer:

The other point lies on the graph is (0, - 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Point (3, - 4) lies on the graph [tex]y = (x -5)^2 + K[/tex]

So, put x = 3 and y = - 4 in the equation.

[tex]- 4 = ( 3 -5)^2 + K\\\\- 4 = 4 + K \\\\K= - 8[/tex]

So, the equation of graph is

[tex]y = (x - 5)^2 -8[/tex]

Let x = 5 lies on the graph so

[tex]y = (5 -5)^2 -8 \\\\y = -8[/tex]

So, the other point lies on the graph is (0, - 8).

Consider a test of H 0: μ = 85 performed with the computer. SPSS reports a two-tailed p-value of 0.2714. Make the appropriate conclusion for the given situation: H a: μ > 85, z = 1.10, α = 0.10

Answers

Answer:

p-value of 0.1357 > 0.1, which means that we do not reject the null hypothesis, that is, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean is above 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decision:

If the p-value is greater than the significance level, we accept the null hypothesis. Otherwise, we reject the null hypothesis.

In this question:

Null hypothesis:

μ = 85

Alternate hypothesis:

a: μ > 85

SPSS reports a two-tailed p-value of 0.2714.

We are testing if the mean is greater than a value, which is a one-tailed test, so the p-value is of 0.2714/2 = 0.1357

Decision:

p-value of 0.1357 > 0.1, which means that we do not reject the null hypothesis, that is, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean is above 85.

A submarine sits at –300 meters in relation to sea level. Then it descends 115 meters. What is its new position in relation to sea level?

Answers

Answer:

-415 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

As it was already -300 and it decended even more

so:

-300-`115=-415

Answer:

The answer is A, -415 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

All right, so the key words we need here are -300, descends, and 115.

Descends means go lower, or in this case, subtract.

We are already at -300 and we descend 115, so we are going to subtract.

Subtracting a number is the same as adding the negative of that number.

-300 + -115 = -415

The answer is A, -415 meters.

why did greeks grow foods like olives and grapes instead of grains and wheat? Whats the meaning of life. It's clear that the lives of many creative artists are being transformed by digital technology. But competing schools of thought cite the very same technology in support of strikingly different conclusions.One group, for example, says the ability to widely distribute the best performers' products at low cost portends a world where even small differences in talent command huge differences in reward. That view is known as the "winner take all" theory.In contrast, the "long tail" theory holds that the information revolution is letting sellers prosper even when their offerings appeal to only a small fraction of the market. This view foresees a golden age in which small-scale creative talent flourishes as never before.Long-tail proponents often portray best-selling entertainment as lowest-common-denominator compromises whose only real advantage is lower cost made possible by large-scale distribution and sales. If technology makes scale less important, they argue, people will turn to the more idiosyncratic offerings that they really prefer. In principle, at least, this creates exciting new possibilities for small-scale sellers.In practice, however, winner-take-all effects still appear to dominate. Long-tail proponents predict that the least-popular offerings should be capturing market share from the most popular. But as Anita Elberse, a professor at the Harvard Business School, recounts in her 2013 book "Blockbusters", the entertainment industry's experience has been the reverse. Digital song titles selling more than one million copies, for example, accounted for 15 percent of sales in 2011, up from 7 percent in 2007. The publishing and film industries experienced similar trends.What's happening? One possibility is that today's tighter schedules have made people more reluctant to sift through the growing avalanche of options confronting them. Still, the growing market share of top sellers doesn't invalidate the promise of small-scale creative energy. Using big data, producers can now take aim at highly idiosyncratic buyers, and online searches help many such buyers find just the quirky offerings they're seeking.Your 3-5 sentence summary: Which of the following statements is true about dnaA.
