Hello!

You divide how much tax was by the total cost of the shoes

5.60 / 70 = 0.08

Convert the decimal into a percent

The answer is 8%

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu_1 = \mu_2

The alternative hypothesis  H_a : \mu_1 >  \mu_2

b

p-value   = 0.232

c

    The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The value given is  

S/N

1       7 5

2      4 3

3      8 7

4      8 8

5      7 9

6      7 5

7      6 5

Generally the sample mean for the first sample  is  mathematically represented as

        \= x _1 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}

=>     \= x _1 = \frac{7 +4 + \cdots + 6}{7}

=>     \= x _1 =  6.714

Generally the sample mean for the second sample is mathematically represented as

        \= x _2 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}

=>     \= x _2 = \frac{5 + 3+ \cdots + 5}{7}

=>     \= x _2 =  6

Generally the sample standard deviation  for the first sample  is  mathematically represented as

           s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x_1)^2 }{n-1 } }

=>       s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (7 - 6.714 )^2 +(4 - 6.714 )^2 + \cdots + (6 - 6.714 )^2 }{7-1 } }

=>       s_1 = 1.905

Generally the sample standard deviation  for the second  sample  is  mathematically represented as

           s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x_2)^2 }{n-1 } }

=>       s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{ (5 - 6.714 )^2 +(3 - 6.714 )^2 + \cdots + (5 - 6.714 )^2 }{7-1 } }

=>       s_1 = 4.33

Generally the pooled standard deviation is  

      s = \sqrt{\frac{(n_1 - 1 )s_1^2 + (n_2 - 1 )s_2^2}{n_1 + n_2 -2 } }

=>    s = \sqrt{\frac{(7 - 1 )1.905^2 + (7 - 1 )4.333^2}{7 + 7 -2 } }

=>    s = 1.766

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu_1 = \mu_2

The alternative hypothesis  H_a : \mu_1 >  \mu_2

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      t = \frac{\= x _1 - \= x_2 }{s * \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2}}  }

=>   t = \frac{6.714  - 6 }{1.766  * \sqrt{\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7}}  }

=>   t = 0.757

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     df = n_1 + n_2 - 2

=>   df = 7 + 7 - 2

=>   df = 12

From the t distribution table the probability of  t = 0.757 at a degree of freedom of df = 12 is  

     t_{ 0.757 , 12} = 0.232

Generally the p-value is  

      p-value  = t_{ 0.757 , 12} = 0.232

From the values  obtained we see that p-value >  \alpha  hence  

   The decision rule is

I am thinking of a number. when it is increasd by 7, it equals 21. what is my number
andrey2020 [161]
If X is increased by 7 to make 21
X + 7 = 21
then rearrange the equation to get X
X = 21-7
X = 14(b)

5x+18/8 = x/4 <br> Solve for x
ollegr [7]

Answer: x= -9/19

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+18/8=x/4

5x+ 9/4=x/4

5x+9/4-9/4=x/4-9/4

5x= x-9/4

5x(4)=x-9/4(4)

20x=x-9

20x-x=x-9-x

19x=-9

19x/19=-9/19

x=-9/19

If / and / are midsegments of , what can you conclude about / and /? Verify your results by finding x when QR = 3x + 2 and NP =
Ad libitum [116K]
Midsegments are line segments that connect the midpoints of a triangle. If we have the condition that QR = NP, we have the equation
3x + 2 = 2x + 16
Solving for x
3x - 2x = 16 - 2
x = 14
Therefore, x is 14. <span />
