The price of the television set before taxes is $400

<h3>How to find the price of the television set before taxes.?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Price after tax = $428.00

Tax rate = 7%

The price of the television set before taxes is calculated as:

Price after tax = Price before tax * (1 + tax rate)

This gives

$428.00 = Price before tax * (1 + 7%)

Express the percentage as decimal

$428.00 = Price before tax * (1 + 0.07)

Evaluate the sum

$428.00 = Price before tax * (1.07)

Divide both sides by 1.07

Price before tax = $400

Hence, the price of the television set before taxes is $400

The weight y of a object on Jupiter is proportional to the weight x of the object on earth. An object that weighs 150 ponds on e
mario62 [17]

Answer:

5.02 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k*x

Where,

y = weight of a object on Jupiter

x = weight of the object on earth

k = constant of proportionality

An object that weighs 150 ponds on earth would weigh 378.2 ponds on Jupiter.

y = k*x

378.2 = k*150

378.2 = 150k

k = 378.2/150

= 2.5213

Approximately k = 2.52

determine how Much a rock that weigh 12.64 on Jupiter would weigh on earth

y = k*x

12.64 = 2.52*x

12.64 = 2.52x

x = 12.64 / 2.52

= 5.0159

Approximately x = 5.02 pounds

lesantik [10]

Answer: No, New York students are not truly more nerdy than the California students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students in a group = 50

Mean score of New York psychology = 530

Mean score of California psychology = 515

Standard deviation = 80

So, we will find t-distribution first.

t=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\t=\dfrac{530-515}{\dfrac{80}{\sqrt{50}}}\\\\t=1.32

Let α = 5% = 0.05

So, t_{\alpha,2}=2.920

Since t < t(critical value)

No, New York students are not truly more nerdy than the California students.
