The question is incomplete:

Noah pays $25.20 for non perishable food items to give to the local homeless shelter the price includes a 5% sales of tax. what is the price before tax of the food items?

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information you have that the price of items is $25.20 and it includes a 5% tax. From this, you can write the following:

x+0.05x=25.20

Then, you can isolate x to find the price before tax:

1.05x=25.20

x=25.20/1.05

x= 24

According to this, the price before tax of the food items is $24.

Answer:

The formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.7}{2} = 0.15$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.15 = 0.85$ , so Z = 1.037.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz.

This means that $\sigma = 0.04$ .

Sample of 10 birds:

This means that $n = 10$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.037\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{10}}$

$M = 0.013$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ added to M.

Then, the formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

Reversing coins there are n coins, each showing either heads or tails. we would like all the coins to show the same face. what i

Katarina [22]

If there are n coins, then the smallest (minimum) amount of coins we need to flip is 1. The reason why is because the best case scenario would be flipping all heads except the last coin which is tails. This scenario is rare if n is large, but still possible.

PLEASE HELP ASAP PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

kramer

11.66 or 12

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

19^2 = 15^2 + b^2

361 = 225 + b^2

361 - 225 = b^2

136 = b^2

(square root of both sides)

b = 11.66or 12
