Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost.<span>Make sure you put the sales tax into decimal form. You do this by taking the percentage and sliding the decimal point two places to the left: ...<span>Example: $60 (item cost) x .075 (sales tax) = $4.5 total sales tax.</span></span>

The weekly salaries of sociologists in the United States are normally distributed and have a known population standard deviation

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$ME =z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level is 0.98 and the significance is $\alpha=1-0.98 =0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ and the critical value using the table is:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

And replacing we got:

$ME=2.326 \frac{425}{\sqrt{22}}= 210.760\ approx 210.76$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

$\sigma = 425$ represent the population deviation

$n =22$ the sample size

$\bar X =1520$ represent the sample mean

We want to find the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population mean and we know that is given by:

$ME =z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level is 0.98 and the significance is $\alpha=1-0.98 =0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ and the critical value using the table is:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

And replacing we got:

$ME=2.326 \frac{425}{\sqrt{22}}= 210.760\ approx 210.76$

Find the area of a semi circle with a diameter of 28cm

Alexandra [31]

since it has a diameter of 28, then its radius must be half that or 14.

$\textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=14 \end{cases}\implies A=\pi (14)^2\implies A=196\pi ~\hfill \stackrel{\stackrel{semi-circle}{half~that}}{98\pi }$
