Answer: These taxes are meant to do two things — raise money to pay for infrastructure and reflect some of the environmental costs of driving. Unlike most taxes, gas taxes are charged as a flat charge per liter, rather than as a percentage of the pump price.

Answer:

Every time you top off your vehicle at the pump, you're paying federal and state gas taxes that are included in the price of every gallon of gasoline. The federal tax, at 18.4 cents per gallon, is meant to help the federal government pay to build and fix things like highways and bridges.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: 0.50477

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sugar content of the syrup is canned peaches is normally distributed.

We assume the can is designed to have standard deviation $\sigma=5$ milligrams.

The sampling distribution of the sample variance is chi-square distribution.

Also,The data yields a sample standard deviation of $s=4.8$ milligrams.

Sample size : n= 10

Test statistic for chi-square : $\chi^2=\dfrac{s^2(n-1)}{\sigma^2}$

i.e. $\chi^2=\dfrac{(4.8)^2(10-1)}{(5)^2}=8.2944$

Now, P-value = $P(\chi^2>8.2944)=0.50477$ [By using the chi-square distribution table for p-values.]

Hence, the chance of observing the sample standard deviation greater than 4.8 milligrams = 0.50477
