The sales tax amount is $ 28.4

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that you purchase an ipod that costs $339

The tax rate is 8.375 %

To find: Sales tax amount

From given,

Cost price = $ 339

Tax rate = 8.375 %

Therefore, sales tax amount is 8.375 % of cost price

$Sales\ Tax\ Amount = 8.375 \% \text{ of } 339\\\\Sales\ Tax\ Amount = 8.375 \% \times 339\\\\Sales\ Tax\ Amount = \frac{8.375}{100} \times 339\\\\Simplify\ the\ above\ expression\\\\Sales\ Tax\ Amount = 0.08375 \times 339\\\\Sales\ Tax\ Amount = 28.39125 \approx 28.4$

Thus sales tax amount is $ 28.4

A rhombus ABCD has AB = 10 and m∠A = 60°. Find the lengths of the diagonals of ABCD.

melisa1 [442]

Three important properties of the diagonals of a rhombus that we need for this problem are:
1. the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
2. the diagonals form two perpendicular lines
3. the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus

First, we can let O be the point where the two diagonals intersect (as shown in the attached image). Using the properties listed above, we can conclude that ∠AOB is equal to 90° and ∠BAO = 60/2 = 30°.

Since a triangle's interior angles have a sum of 180°, then we have ∠ABO = 180 - 90 - 30 = 60°. This shows that the ΔAOB is a 30-60-90 triangle.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the sides facing the corresponding anges is 1:√3:2. So, since we know that AB = 10, we can compute for the rest of the sides.

$\overline{OB}:\overline{AB} = 1:2$
$\overline {OB}:10 = 1:2$
$\overline{OB} = \frac{1}{2}(10) = 5$

Similarly, we have

$\overline{AO}:\overline{AB} = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline {AO}:10 = \sqrt{3}:2$
$\overline{AO} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(10) = 5\sqrt{3}$

Now, to find the lengths of the diagonals,

$\overline{AD} = 2(\overline{AO}) = 10\sqrt{3}$
$\overline{BC} = 2(\overline{OB}) = 10$

So, the lengths of the diagonals are 10 and 10√3.

Answer: 10 and 10√3 units

A data set includes 103 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.9degreesf and a standard deviation of 0.67

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard deviation = 0.67

n = number of samples = 103

From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown hence, we would use the t distribution to find the z score

In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.

df = n - 1 = 103 - 1 = 102

Since confidence level = 99% = 0.99, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

the area to the right of z0.005 is 0.005 and the area to the left of z0.005 is 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Looking at the t distribution table,

z = 2.6249

Margin of error = 2.6249 × 0.67/√103

= 0.173

Confidence interval = 98.6 ± 0.173

This suggests that the mean body temperature could very possibly be

98.6degrees°F.

PLEASE HELP I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO THESE QUESTIONS!!!!! THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOU!!!!

Answer:

a) $42,580

b) $43,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, "mode" refers to the value which occurs most frequently.

In this case, the question says that there are 2 modes,

this means $34,000 and $50,500 both share the spot for the most frequently appearing salary.

because there are only 5 employees (and hence 5 salaries), the only possible way that there are two modes is if there are two of each mode, leaving only the last salary unknown.

i.e if we list the 5 salaries (in no particular order)

$34,000 $34,000 $50,500 $50,500 $ x

where x is the 5th unknown salary.

Given that the mean is $42,100

Then (34,000 + 34,000 + 50,500 + 50,500 + x) / 5 = 42,100

solving for x gives x = $41,500

Now we know all the values, we can rearrange them in increasing value:

$34,000 $34,000 $41,500 $50,500 $50,500

from this, we can see that the median salary is $41,500

Given that the median salary gets a $2400 raise,

the new median salary = $41,500 + $2400 = $43,900 (Ans for part b)

new mean salary,
