Answer:
$19.07
Step-by-step explanation:
First off we need to find the discounted price of the jeans that Jessica bought.
We find the discount by multiplying the original price by 25% or 0.25
Discount Price = 23.98 x 0.25
Discount Price = 5.99
Now we subtract the discount from the original price.
Discounted Price = 23.98 -5.99
Discounted Price = 17.99
Now that we have the discounted price, we then compute for the sales tax.
Sales Tax = 17.99 x 0.06
Sales Tax = 1.08
Then we add the sales tax to the discounted price.
Total Price = 17.99 + 1.08
Total Price = $19.07
Jessica spent $19.07 on the jeans.

Benjamin is trying to find the height of a radio antenna on the roof of a local building.
xz_007 [3.2K]

The height of the antenna on the roof of the local building is approximately 8 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angles is equals to 90 degrees
  • The sides of the triangles can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

Therefore, let's find the height of the building and the radio antenna from the eye point.

Using trigonometric ratios,

tan 40° = opposite / adjacent

tan 40° = x / 25

where

x = the height of the building and the radio antenna from the eye point.

x = 25 tan 40

x = 25 × 0.83909963117

x = 20.9774907794 meters

Let's find the height of the building from his eye point.

tan 28° = y / 25

where

y = height of the building from his eye point

y = 25 × tan 28°

y = 25 × 0.53170943166

y = 13.2927357915 meters

Height of the antenna = 20.9774907794 - 13.2927357915 = 7.68475498786

Height of the antenna ≈ 8 meters

A factory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. A quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean le
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1000-1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=998.04    

1000+1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=1001.96    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

1000-1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=998.04    

1000+1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=1001.96
