Answer:

The price of the camera before tax would be $ 87.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the camera before tax,

Given,

The percentage of tax = 6 %,

So, the amount of tax = 6 % of the price before tax

= 6 % of x

= 0.06x

According to the question,

The amount of tax = $ 5.25

$\implies 0.06x = 5.25$

$\implies x=\frac{5.25}{0.06}=87.5$

Hence, the price of the camera before tax is $ 87.5.

$87.50x.06=$5.25 tax
so it's the tax ($5.25/0.06)

Algebra 2 question, can someone check if its right

KonstantinChe [14]

Your quotient is undefined if under the root you have a value <0

this means the value has to be >=0

so 15(x-1)>=0
(x-1)>=0
x>=1 which is option B

The vultures football team made the following gains on four plays :14 yards,-32 yards,3 yards,and -19 yards? What was the net ch

8090 [49]

The sum of gains is

... (14 yd) + (-32 yd) + (3 yd) + (-19 yd)

... = (14 +3 -19 -32) yd . . . . . . it is often convenient to rearrange the numbers to facilitate mental arithmetic

... = (-2 -32) yd

... = -34 yd

The net change of position was -34 yards.

Is the environment a major issue with Americans? To answer that question, a researcher conducts a survey of 1255 randomly select

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The point estimate of this proportion is $\pi = 0.5857$

The 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Americans who feel that the environment is a major issue with them is (0.5584, 0.6130).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 1255, \pi = \frac{735}{1255} = 0.5857$

The point estimate of this proportion is $\pi = 0.5857$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5857 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5857*0.4143}{1255}} = 0.5584$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5857 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5857*0.4143}{1255}} = 0.6130$

The 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Americans who feel that the environment is a major issue with them is (0.5584, 0.6130).
