Answer:

The total cost of the helicopter = $26.5

The cost of lithium battery = $5.

The amount of sales tax = $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a radio-controlled helicopter sells for $20, but needs a lithium battery that costs 25% of that price.

We can find the price of battery by finding 25% of 20.

\text{The cost of lithium battery}=\frac{25}{100}\times 20

\text{The cost of lithium battery}=\frac{25}{5}

\text{The cost of lithium battery}=5

Therefore, the cost of lithium battery is $5.

Now let us find the sales tax on the cost of helicopter and lithium battery.

\text{Total sales tax}=\frac{6}{100}\times (20+5)

\text{Total sales tax}=0.06\times (25)

\text{Total sales tax}=1.5

Therefore, the total sales tax will be $1.5.

We can find the total cost of helicopter by adding the cost of helicopter, cost of lithium battery and total amount of sales tax.

\text{The total cost of helicopter}=20+5+1.5

\text{The total cost of helicopter}=26.5

Therefore, the total cost of helicopter will be $26.5.

What is the standard deviation of this data set? Use a calculator to help you.

Answer:

Standard deviation = 14.064

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data;

        X                          X - Xbar                  (X-Xbar)^{2}

       20                     20 - 46 = -26                    676

       23                     23 - 46 = - 23                    529

       32                     32 - 46 = -14                      196

       36                     36 - 46 = -10                      100

       41                      41 - 46 = -5                         25

       43                     43 - 46 = -3                          9

       44                     44 - 46 = -2                          4

       45                     45 - 46 = -1                           1

       47                      47 - 46 = 1                            1

       54                      54 - 46 = 8                        64

       55                      55 - 46 = 9                        81

      59                       59 - 46 = 13                      169

       61                       61 - 46 = 15                       225

       63                       63 - 46 = 17                      289

       66                       66 - 46 = 20                <u>     400    </u>    

                                                    \sum(X-Xbar)^{2} <u>= 2769 </u>

Firstly we will calculate Mean, Xbar = \frac{\sum X}{n}

  Xbar = \frac{20+ 23+ 32+ 36+ 41+ 43+ 44+ 45+ 47+ 54+ 55+ 59+ 61+ 63+ 66}{15} = 45.93 ≈ 46

Now, Standard deviation formula is given by;

                   s = \sqrt{\frac{ \sum(X-Xbar)^{2}}{n-1}} = \sqrt{\frac{ 2769}{15-1}} = 14.064 .
