Answer:

Rate of change = $0.55/pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To ship a 2 pound item it costs $6.09.

To ship a 7 pound item it costs $8.84.

So, we can put the data in co-ordinates (x,y) such that x co-ordinate represents the mass of the item in pounds and y co-ordinate represents the cost of the item in dollars.

So, we will have two points

(2,6.09)\ and\ (7,8.84)

Rate of change is the slope (m) of the line joining the points and is given by:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{8.84-6.09}{7-2}

m=\frac{2.75}{5}

m=0.55

∴ Rate of change = $0.55/pound

First you need to find how much 20% of $18.50 is. To do this, you need to multiply 18.50 by 20% which in decimal form is 0.2
$18.50x0.2=$3.70
Now you need to subtract $3.70 from $18.50
$18.50-$3.70=$14.80
Now that you have the new price, you need to find 6.75% of it to get the sales tax, so you multiply $14.80 by 6.75%, which is 0.0675 as a decimal.
$14.80x0.0675=$0.999 or $1 
Now you add the sales tax to $14.80
$14.80+$1=$15.80 or $14.80+$0.999=$15.799

During a test period, an experimental group of 10 vehicles using an 85 percent ethanol-gasoline mixture showed mean CO2 emission
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

-1.683

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Group 1 :

x1 = 667 ; n1 = 10 ; s1 = 20

Group 2 :

x2 = 679 ; n2 = 14 ; s2 = 15

The test statistic assuming equal variance :

x1 - x2 / √[Sp² * (1/n1 + 1/n2)]

sp² = [(n1 - 1)*s1² + (n2 - 1)*s2²] ÷ (n1 + n2 - 2)

Sp² = [(10 - 1)*20² + (14 - 1)*15²] = 296.59

Test statistic =

(667 - 679)/ √[296.59 * (1/10 + 1/14)]

-12 / 7.1304978

Test statistic = - 1.682
