I believe this is the complete problem.

Anton bought a picnic cooler. His total bill, with tax, was $7.95. He paid 6 percent sales tax. How much did he pay for the cooler alone without the tax? The cost of an item is 100% of its price. What number goes in place of ? in the addition problem?

The answer is the below:

He paid $7.473 without tax because $7.95 x 96% or (0.96) =$7.473

Answer:

The value of x is $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given The cost of an item is 100% of its price.

Anton bought a picnic cooler. The total bill, with the tax, was $7.95. He paid 6% sales tax.

we have to tell how much he pay for cooler without tax.

We have to find the value of ? let it be x shown in expression.

By the given expression we can write

x+6% of x=$7.95

⇒ x(1+0.06)=$7.95

⇒ 1.06x=7.95 ⇒ x=7.5

Hence, the value of x is $7.5

He paid $7.5 without taxes.

Answer:

Minimum < Q1 < Median < Q3< Maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Minimum, Median, Maximum, Q3 and Q1

See attachment for complete question

Required

Order from least to greatest

In a dataset, the range is:

$Range = Maximum - Minimum$

This implies that, the minimum is the least and the maximum is the highest of the dataset

So, we have:

Minimum < < < < Maximum

The median is the middle item; So, the above becomes

Minimum < < Median < < Maximum

In a dataset, the IQR is:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

This implies that:

$Q_3 > Q_1$

So, we have:

Minimum < Q1 < Median < Q3< Maximum

artcher [175]

Equation: (Not sure if it's the right order...)

468 = 40x + 18(x - 3)

The fee Micheal charges each suscriber is $6

Work:

468 = 40x + 18(x - 3)

468 = 40x + 18x - 54

Mutilpy 18 & x and 18 & 3

468 = 58x - 54

Add 40x amd 18x

468 + 54 = 58x - 54

Add 54 to 468 to have -54 gone in 58x - 54

522 divide by 58 is 9

x = 9

9 - 3 = 6

Find the derivative of f(x) = -2x2 + 11x at x = 9.

zavuch27 [327]

$\bf f(x)=-2x^2+11x\qquad\qquad \lim\limits_{h\to 0}\ \cfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{[-2(\underline{x+h})^2+11(\underline{x+h})]\quad -\quad [-2x^2+11x]}{h}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[-2(x^2+2xh+h^2)+11x+11h]\quad -\quad [-2x^2+11x]}{h}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\underline{-2x^2}-4xh-2h^2\underline{+11x}+11h\quad \underline{+2x^2}\underline{-11x}}{h}$

$\bf \cfrac{-4xh-2h^2+11h}{h}\implies \cfrac{\underline{h}(-4x-2h+11)}{\underline{h}}
\\\\\\
\lim\limits_{h\to 0}\ -4x-2h+11\implies -4x-2(0)+11
\\\\\\
\left. -4x+11\cfrac{}{} \right|_{x=9}\implies -4(9)+11$

The germination rate is the rate at which plants begin to grow after the seed is planted.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.467 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{15}}}=-5.59$

$p_v =P(z$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ 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 proportion of germinated seeds is significantly lower than 0.9 or 90%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=15 represent the random sample taken

X=7 represent the number of seeds germinated

$\hat p=\frac{7}{15}=0.467$ estimated proportion of seeds germinated

$p_o=0.9$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of germinated seeds is less than 0.9 or 90%.:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.9$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.9$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.467 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{15}}}=-5.59$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level assumed is $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z$
