Suppose that a state introduces a state income tax which will be at a flat rate of 3%. The state legislature wishes to estimate

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The mean income is more useful

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know the mean income, then you can obtain the total income by multiplying for the total population. Once you know the total income, you can deduce the amount of money collected by multiplting the total income by 0.03.

Knowing the median income does only help you so much. The mediam income is only a parameter that says that 50% of the population earn less than that. However, if you dont know how much the richer people earn, you cant deduce how much from taxes will you collect. For a simplified example, the sets A = {1,3,18} and B = {1,3,4} have the same median, 3. however A sums a total of 22, while B only sums 8.

The mode of income alone is also not enough. Again, You can have a lot of salaries ranging from similar values, but if you dont know the exact value of other clusters of salaries, specifically the biggest ones, you will lack a lot of information. As a simplified example, the Sets A = {1,3,3,3,3,3,3, 7, 7,7} and B = {1,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,75} have both of them 3 as the most frequent number, however A has a mean of 4, while B has a mean of 10, despite having only 1 mayor cluster of numbers.

Is short, the mean is the bets way to determine the amount of rax collection, because it puts more realistic '<em>weights</em>' on higher income, and because it lets you obtain exact results for the total amount of income.

I hope this helped you!

Please dont ignore, Need help!!! Use the law of sines/cosines to find..

Ket [755]

Answer:

16. Angle C is approximately 13.0 degrees.

17. The length of segment BC is approximately 45.0.

18. Angle B is approximately 26.0 degrees.

15. The length of segment DF "e" is approximately 12.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the law of sine, the sine of interior angles of a triangle are proportional to the length of the side opposite to that angle.

For triangle ABC:

$\sin{A} = \sin{103\textdegree{}}$ ,
The opposite side of angle A $a = BC = 26$ ,
The angle C is to be found, and
The length of the side opposite to angle C $c = AB = 6$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{\sin{C}}{\sin{A}} = \frac{c}{a}$ .

$\displaystyle \sin{C} = \frac{c}{a}\cdot \sin{A} = \frac{6}{26}\times \sin{103\textdegree}$ .

$\displaystyle C = \sin^{-1}{(\sin{C}}) = \sin^{-1}{\left(\frac{c}{a}\cdot \sin{A}\right)} = \sin^{-1}{\left(\frac{6}{26}\times \sin{103\textdegree}}\right)} = 13.0\textdegree{}$ .

Note that the inverse sine function here $\sin^{-1}()$ is also known as arcsin.

By the law of cosine,

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2\;a\cdot b\cdot \cos{C}$ ,

where

$a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are the lengths of sides of triangle ABC, and
$\cos{C}$ is the cosine of angle C.

For triangle ABC:

$b = 21$ ,
$c = 30$ ,
The length of $a$ (segment BC) is to be found, and
The cosine of angle A is $\cos{123\textdegree}$ .

Therefore, replace C in the equation with A, and the law of cosine will become:

$a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;b\cdot c\cdot \cos{A}$ .

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}a &= \sqrt{b^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;b\cdot c\cdot \cos{A}}\\&=\sqrt{21^{2} + 30^{2} - 2\times 21\times 30 \times \cos{123\textdegree}}\\&=45.0 \end{aligned}$ .

For triangle ABC:

$a = 14$ ,
$b = 9$ ,
$c = 6$ , and
Angle B is to be found.

Start by finding the cosine of angle B. Apply the law of cosine.

$b^{2} = a^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;a\cdot c\cdot \cos{B}$ .

$\displaystyle \cos{B} = \frac{a^{2} + c^{2} - b^{2}}{2\;a\cdot c}$ .

$\displaystyle B = \cos^{-1}{\left(\frac{a^{2} + c^{2} - b^{2}}{2\;a\cdot c}\right)} = \cos^{-1}{\left(\frac{14^{2} + 6^{2} - 9^{2}}{2\times 14\times 6}\right)} = 26.0\textdegree$ .

For triangle DEF:

The length of segment DF is to be found,
The length of segment EF is 9,
The sine of angle E is $\sin{64\textdegree}}$ , and
The sine of angle D is $\sin{39\textdegree}$ .

Apply the law of sine:

$\displaystyle \frac{DF}{EF} = \frac{\sin{E}}{\sin{D}}$

$\displaystyle DF = \frac{\sin{E}}{\sin{D}}\cdot EF = \frac{\sin{64\textdegree}}{39\textdegree} \times 9 = 12.9$ .

ln(y+1)-lny=1+3lnx . Express y in terms of x, in a form not involving logarithms. (4 marks, Maths CIE A level)

Delicious77 [7]

$remember$
$ln(x)=log_e(x)$
$and$
$log_x(a)-log_x(b)= log_x( \frac{a}{b} )$
$and$
$log_a(b)=c$ means $a^c=b$
$and$
$blog(a)=log(a^b)$

$so$

$ln(y+1)-ln(y)=1+3ln(x)$
$ln( \frac{y+1}{y} )=1+ln(x^3)$

$minus$ $ln(x^3)$ $from$ $both$ $sides$

$ln( \frac{y+1}{y}-ln(x^3) )=1$
$ln( \frac{y+1}{yx^3})=1$
$log_e( \frac{y+1}{yx^3})=1$

$translate$

$e^1=\frac{y+1}{yx^3}$
$e=\frac{y+1}{yx^3}$

$times$ $both$ $sides$ $by$ $yx^3$

$eyx^3=y+1$

$minus$ $y$ $from$ $both$ $sides$

$eyx^3-y=1$
$y(ex^3-1)=1$

$divide$ $both$ $sides$ $by$ $(ex³-1)$

$y= \frac{1}{ex^3-1}$
