Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the hartford insurance company has hired you to poll a sample of adults about their car purchases.
Here the insurance company is using convenience sampling to select customers so they resorted to taking the names from telephone directories.
But this may not be reliable since persons owning cars need not have telephones and similarly persons having telephones need not own cars
Owning a car and name appearing in telephone directory need not be associated at all
So taking random sample of names from telephone directories may not give the required accurate result since here sample cannot be assumed to represent the population of car owners.
Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
= 1 * 4 dollars
= 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
= 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and
the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.
