Answer:

  1. The first mistake was in not taking 18% off the iPad price. A second mistake was in using an incorrect value for the sales tax multiplier. Those two mistakes together are why the answer is incorrect.
  2. ($575 +0.82·2·499)·1.08875 = $1517.02

Step-by-step explanation:

iPads are 18% off on the day of purchase, so they should be charged at ...

   100% -18% = 82%

of full price. The sum shown includes two iPads at $499 each, without any discount. The total price is too high by $179.64.

The tax rate is given as 8.875%, so the multiplier on price will be ...

  100% +8.875% = 108.875% = 1.08875

The multiplier used by the student in the problem is 1.0875, so is too low.

_____

A correct computation could be written as ...

  ($575 + 2×499×0.82)×1.08875 ≈ $1517.02

A statistician at a metal manufacturing plant is sampling the thickness of metal plates. If an outlier occurs within a particula
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: 26.3 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the two-standard deviations rule for outliers, the values that does not lie within 2 standard deviations from mean are outliers.

If Mean = 23.5 millimeters (mm) and standard deviation =  1.4 mm

Then, greatest thickness need to check = mean + 2 (standard deviation)

= 23.5 + 2(1.4)

= 23.5 + 2.8

= 26.3 mm

hence, the greatest thickness that would require the statistician to check the configuration of the machine = 26.3 mm.
