ce but in different cities with different tax rates. One city has a tax rate of 7% and the other has a tax rate of 8.5%. What percent can you save by going with the lower tax rate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
 180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>

Given :

_____Peter __ Alan __ Sui__total

Before 1838 __ 418 ___1475 _3731

After _ 1420 __ 329 ___1140_2889

Total _3258 __ 747 __ 2615 _6620

The expected frequency = (Row total * column total) / N

N = grand total = 6620

Using calculator :

Expected values are :

1836.19 __ 421.006 __ 1473.8

1421.81 ___325.994__ 1141.2

χ² = Σ(Observed - Expected)² / Expected

χ² = (0.00177817 + 0.0214571 + 0.000974852 + 0.00229642 + 0.0277108 + 0.00125897)

χ² = 0.05547
