Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

Question One

The first question is just to derive a formula that represents the cost of anything bought in Idaho.

c = p + 6/100 * p

c = p + 0.6 * p

c = 1.06 p

Question Two

The second question requires an entirely different formula. You don't use the first formula. You just use it's idea. Further, you take the sales tax only when you know how much money has exchanged hands.

c  = (p - 30/100 p) + 6/100*(p - 30/100 * p)

c = (p - 0.3p) + 0.06* (p - 0.3p)

c = 0.7 p + 0.06*(0.7p)                          Combine the right side

c = 0.7p + 0.042p                                 Combine

c = 0.742p

33.39 = 0.742p                                        Divide by 0.742

33.39/0,742 = p                            

p = 45 dollars

The original cost was 45 dollars

noname [10]

Complete question:

Marvin is painting three squares shaped like the one below if it takes him exactly 4 cans of paint to paint square 3, five cans of paint to paint square 2 to how many cans of paint should he need to paint square one

Picture of squares is attached.

Answer:

9 cans of paint.

To paint square 1, he needs 9 cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that to paint square 3, four cans of paint are needed.

Therefore, let's take area of the square 3 as 4.

i.e a² = 4

Solving further, we have :

a = \sqrt{4}

a = 2

We can say, each side of square 3 = 2 units

To paint square 2, five cans of paint are needed. Let's take the area of 2 to be 5.

i.e b² = 5

Solving further, we have :

b = \sqrt{5}

We can say, each side of square 2 = \sqrt{5} units

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have that the area of the square of a hypotenuse in a 90° angle is equal to the sum of the areas of the other two squares.

Therefore,

h^2 = 2^2 + \sqrt{5}^2

h² = 4 + 5

h = \sqrt{9}

h = 3 units.

We now know one side of the square 1 is 3 units.

Area of square 1 = 3²

Area = 9.

Therefore to paint square 1, he needs 9 cans of paint.

Please solve the following question.

The confidence interval for the difference p1 - p2 of the population proportion is (0.063, 0.329)

<h3>How to determine the confidence interval?</h3>

The given parameters are:

n₁ = 93; n₂ = 80

p₁ = 0.814;  p₂ = 0.618

The critical value at 95% confidence interval is

z = ±1.96

So, we have:

CI = (p_1 - p_2) \pm z * \sqrt{\frac{p_1(1  - p_1}{n_1} + \frac{p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}}

Substitute known values in the above equation

CI = (0.814 - 0.618) \pm 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.814 * (1  - 0.814)}{93} + \frac{0.618 * (1 - 0.618)}{80}}

Evaluate

CI = 0.196 \pm 1.96 * \sqrt{0.001628 + 0.00295095}

This gives

CI = 0.196 ± 0.133

Expand

CI = (0.196 - 0.133, 0.196 + 0.133)

Evaluate

CI = (0.063, 0.329)

Hence, the confidence interval is (0.063, 0.329)
