Answer:

$142.425

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A sports store is having a sale on skates, a pair originally cost is $135.

The sales tax is 5.5%

Question asked:

What is the total cost ?

Solution:

To find the total cost of a pair of skates, first of all we will find sale tax amount and then simply add the original cost and sale tax amount.

Original cost of a pair of skates =  $135

Sales tax = 5.5%

Sales tax amount = 5.5\% \ of\ 135

                             =\frac{5.5}{100} \times135\\\\ =\frac{742.5}{100} \\ =\$7.425

Total cost = Original cost + sale tax amount

                = $135 + $7.425

                = $142.425

Therefore, the total cost of a pair of skates at a sports store is $142.425

A quality-assurance inspector periodically exam-ines the output of a machine to determine whether it is properly adjusted. When
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

The null hypothesis & alternative hypothesis:

\mathbf{H_o:\mu = 2}  \\ \\  \mathbf{H_1 : \mu \ne 2}

The test statistics can be computed as:

Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Z = \dfrac{2.025- 2}{\dfrac{0.07}{\sqrt{35}}}

Z = \dfrac{0.025}{\dfrac{0.07}{\sqrt{35}}}

Z =2.11

The p-value = 2(Z > 2.11)  since this is a two-tailed test

The p-value = 2( 1 - Z < 2.11)

The p-value = 2 (1 -0.9826)

The p-value = 2 (0.0174)

The p-value = 0.0348

Decision Rule: To reject the \mathbf{H_o}  if the p-value is less than \mathbf{H_o}

Conclusion: We fail to reject \mathbf{H_o} and conclude that the population mean = 2, thus the machine is properly adjusted.

The rectangle below has an area of x^2-9x
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

(x+3)m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

Given the area = (x²-9)m²

Width = (x-3)m

Length of the rectangle = Area/Width

Length of the rectangle = x²-9/x-3

= x²-3²/x-3

Note that according to different of two square, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)

Therefore x²-3² = (x+3)(x-3)

Length of the rectangle

= (x+3)(x-3)/x-3

= x+3

The length of the rectangle is (x+3)m
