Answer: The required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Percy paid 24.10 for a basketball and the price of a basketball was 22.99.

We are to find the sales tax rate.

According to the given information, the sales tax is given by

$S.T.=24.10-22.99=1.11.$

Therefore, the sales tax rate is given by

$\dfrac{1.11}{22.99}\times100\%=\dfrac{111}{22.99}\%=4.83\%.$

Thus, the required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

So, he paid 24.10 with the tax included, without the tax is 22.99, thus 24.10 - 22.99 or 1.11 is the tax amount.

now, if we take 22.99 to be the 100%, how much is 1.11 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
22.99&100\\
1.11&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.99}{1.11}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{1.11\cdot 100}{22.99}$

9966 [12]

Answer:

Option B)

$H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Hypothesis:

The doctors and u=instructor claims that practicing yoga reduces blood pressure and hence is beneficial to people.

Population mean, μ = 140 mm

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 139 mm

Sample size, n = 51

Sample standard deviation, s = 5 mm

Thus, we can design the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis as

$H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}$

The null hypothesis states that the population have a blood pressure of 140 mm. The alternate hypothesis states that yoga reduces the blood pressure and the sample has a blood pressure less than 140 mm.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B)

$H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}$

Pythagoras help needed please

boyakko [2]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagonal of the square. The side of the square is 5 cm long. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$\text{Diagonal}^2=\text{Side}^2+\text{Side}^2\\ \\\text{Diagonal}^2=5^2+5^2\\ \\\text{Diagonal}^2=25+25\\ \\\text{Diagonal}^2=50\\ \\\text{Diagonal}=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx 7.07\ cm$

If the square (being inside the circle) touches the circle, then the diagonal of the square is exactly the diameter of the circle. The diameter of the circle is twice the radius of the circle, so

$\text{Diameter}=2\times 5=10\ cm$

Since the diagonal is shorter than the diameter, the square can fit into the circle without touching the circle.
