Jerome bought a sweater that was on sale for 20 percent off. Jerome paid $25.10 for the sweater, including sales tax of 8.25 per

cent. Write an equation that can be used to find the original price of the sweater.

Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
                                                                                                           = X - 0.2X
                                                                                                            = 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
   = 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.

Use the information provided to determine a 95% confidence interval for the population variance. A researcher was interested in
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the population variance is given as follows:

\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}

It is provided that:

<em>n</em> = 20

<em>s</em> = 3.9

Confidence level = 95%

⇒ <em>α</em> = 0.05

Compute the critical values of Chi-square:

\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,19}=32.852\\\\\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{1-0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,19}=8.907

*Use a Chi-square table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population variance as follows:

\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}

\frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{32.852}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{8.907}\\\\8.7967\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.4453\\\\8.80\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.45

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).
