Answer:

x = 1187.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = price before tax

tax = x* 7.6%

tax = .076x

The cost of the computer is price before tax plus tax

cost = x + .076x

cost = 1.076x

1278.24 = 1.076x

Divide each side by 1.076

1278.24/1.076 = 1.076x/1.076

x=1187.9553

Rounding to the nearest cent

x = 1187.96

… I hope this help you

adoni [48]

Answer:

The critical value for the 90% confidence interval is Z_c = 1.645.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The critical value for the 90% confidence interval is Z_c = 1.645.
