Answer:

119/100 = 357/X

Step-by-step explanation:

since 357 is the price with the extra 19% tax, you can put 119 and 357 as numerators in a fraction because thats the price % of total cost with the tax, then have the denominators as the normal price without tax. so 119/100 bc 119 is the total cost % with tax, and 100 as the normal cost %. same for the opposite side, 357/X. 357 being the price with the tax and X being the price without the tax. so you just cross multiply to find X. so 100 × 357 (35,700) then divide the answer of that by 119 (35,700/119) to find X (300)

yan [13]

The averages for each category can be calculated by taking the sum of the values and dividing by the number of values .
Jan Feb March
1)
wages $2,100.00 $2,300.00 $2,000.00
sum of the values = 2100 + 2300 + 2000 = 6400
number of values = 3
average = 6400/3 = $ 2133.33
2)
donations $210.00 $230.00 $200.00
average = (210 + 230 + 200)/3
= $ 213.33
3)
mortgage $590.50 $590.50 $590.50
average = ( 590.50 + 590.50 + 590.50)/3
= $ 590.50
4)
electricity $101.25 $89.75 $80.00
average = (101.25 + 89.75 + 80.00)/3
= 271/3
= $ 90.33
5)
water $20.10 $22.30 $24.55
average = (20.10 + 22.30 + 24.55)/3
= 66.95/3
= $ 22.32
6)
car loan $172.54 $172.54 $172.54
average = (172.54 + 172.54 + 172.54)/3
= $ 172.54
7)
food $200.25 $220.70 $205.50
average = (200.25 + 220.70 + 205.50)/3
= $ 208.82
8)
insurance $310.50 $0.00 $0.00
average = ( 310.50 + 0.00 + 0.00)/3
= $ 103.50
9)

average = (0.00 + 0.00 + 75.00)/3
= $ 25.00
10)
car license fee $0.00 $120.90 $0.00
average = (0.00 + 120.90 + 0.00)/3
= $ 40.30
11)
newspaper $0.00 $0.00 $45.00
average = (0.00 + 0.00 + 45.00)/3
= $ 15.00
12)movies $18.00 $0.00 $36.00
average = (18 + 0.00 + 36.0)/3
= $ 18.00
13)
new car $100.00 $100.00 $100.00
average = (100 + 100 + 100)/3
= $ 100.00
14)
gasoline $80.00 $70.00 $75.00
average = (80.00 + 70.00 + 75.00)
= $ 75.00
15)
car repairs $0.00 $119.00 $0.00
average = (0.00 + 119.0 + 0)/3
= $ 39.67
16)
miscellaneous $64.50 $59.25 $72.50
average = (64.50 + 59.25 + 72.50)/3
= 196.25/3
= $ 65.42
17)

Tensile-strength tests were carried out on two different grades of wire rod (Fluidized Bed Patenting of Wire Rods, Wire J., June

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

$t=\frac{(123.6-107.6)-(10)}{\sqrt{\frac{2^2}{129}+\frac{1.3^2}{129}}}=28.569$

$p_v =P(t_{256}>28.569) \approx 0$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true average strength for the 1078 grade exceeds that for the 1064 grade by more than 10 kg/mm2.
