Using proportions, it is found that the federal tax rate is of 10%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The tax rate is the <u>proportion that $17.50 is of $175</u>, hence:

r = 17.50/175 = 0.1 = 10%.

The federal tax rate is of 10%.

(1 point) Suppose we will flip a fair coin 100 times. (a) What does 35 heads correspond to on the standard scale? (enter exact a
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

(a) 35 heads correspond to -3 on the standard scale.

(b) z = 2.4 corresponds to 62 heads on the number of heads scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) If we flip a fair coin once, probability of getting head = 0.5

If we flip a fair coin 100 times, mean number of heads = 100(0.5) = 50

If there are N draws with a P probability of success, the standard deviation (SD) is given as:

SD = \sqrt{(N)(P)(1 - P)}

Here, the probability of getting a head (P) is 0.5 while the number of draws (N) is 100. So,

SD = \sqrt{(100)(0.5)(1-0.5)}

SD = 5

The standard scale value is: (35 - 50) / 5 = -3

Hence, 35 heads correspond to -3 on the standard scale.

(b) The standard scale value is 2.4 and we need to find the number of heads.

(X - 50) / 5 = 2.4

X - 50 = 12

X = 62

Hence, z = 2.4 on the standard scale corresponds to 62 on the number of heads scale.

The perimeter of a frame is 24 inches.The width is 5 inches. What is the length
Kisachek [45]
Assuming the frame is rectangular, the perimeter is 2*width + 2*length. so 5*2 + 2*length = 24. subtract ten from both sides to get the 14 = 2*length. the length = 7.
