Tax=tax rate times cost of product
tax=17.50
cost of product=250
17.50=rate times 250
divide both sides by 250
17.50/250=rate
0.07=rate
percent means parts out of 100
0.07/1 times 100/100=7/100=7%
7%=rate

answer is 7% tax

Eleanor had a gross income of $2,478.15 during each pay period in 2010 if she got paid monthly how much of her pay was deducted

lina2011 [118]

According to reliable sources online, the FICA rate last 2010 amounted to 6.2%. The amount deducted to Eleanor's pay monthly is calculated by multiplying the monthly pay and the rate. That is,
FICA (monthly) = ($2,478.15)(0.062)
= $153.636
Multiplying that amount by 12 (since there are 12 months in a year) is equal to $1843.632. Thus, $1843.632 was deducted from Eleanor's pay last 2010 for FICA.

An article suggests the uniform distribution on the interval from 7.5 to 20 as a model for x = depth (in centimeters) of the bio

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we want this probability:

$P(X>16)$

And we can use the complement rule:

$P(X>16) = 1-P(X$

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

$F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b$

And replacing we got:

$P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X= depth (in centimeters) of the bioturbation layer in sediment for a certain region, and we know the distribution for X, given by:

$X \sim Unif (a=7.5, b=20)$
