<h3>Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.

Take 8.25% of this to get

0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625

and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.

$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents

---------

Extra info:

The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67

Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67

The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"

A scientist writes the equation n(h)100e^0.25h to model the growth of a certain bacteria in a petri dish, where N represents the
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n(h)=100e^{0.25h}

where, N represents the number of bacteria after 'h' hours.

So, we have given that there are 450 bacteria present.

N = 450

According to question,

450=100e^{0.25h}\\\\\frac{450}{100}=e^{0.25h}\\\\4.5=e^{0.25h}\\\\\text{Taking natural log 'ln' on both sides}\\\\\ln (4.5)=0.25h\\\\1.50=0.25h\\\\h=\frac{1.50}{0.25}\\\\h\approx 6\ hours

Hence, Second option is correct.

Sunspots have been observed for many centuries. Records of sunspots from ancient Persian and Chinese astronomers go back thousan
Lunna [17]

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 41  

    Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 41

(b) The value of z test statistics is 1.08.

(c) We conclude that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random sample of 40 such periods from Spanish colonial times, the sample mean is x¯ = 47.0. Previous studies of sunspot activity during this period indicate that σ = 35.

It is thought that for thousands of years, the mean number of sunspots per 4-week period was about µ = 41.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period.</em></u>

(a) Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 41     {means that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 41     {means that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was higher than 41}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                            T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean = 47

            σ = population standard deviation = 35

            n = sample of periods from Spanish colonial times = 40

So, <em><u>the test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{47-41}{\frac{35}{\sqrt{40} } }

                                      =  1.08

(b) The value of z test statistics is 1.08.

(c) <u>Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

                P-value = P(Z > 1.08) = 1 - P(Z < 1.08)

                              = 1 - 0.8599 = <u>0.1401</u>

Since, the P-value of the test statistics is higher than the level of significance as 0.1401 > 0.05, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41.

g Q3 [20 points] Suppose that your average heart rate is 72. The average heart rate in your class is 82 and the variance is 25.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

2.28% of the class has a lower heart rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 82, \sigma = \sqrt{25} = 5

What percent of the class has a lower heart rate

Lower than 72, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 72.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{72 - 82}{5}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228

2.28% of the class has a lower heart rate
