Elena received a $30 gift for her birthday. She plans to use it to buy one or more books. Elena will have to pay 8% sales tax on

the books and $1.50 bus fare to get to and from the shopping center. If c = the amount in dollars Elena spends on books, this situation can be represented by the inequality below.
1.08c + 1.5 ≤ 30

The cost of book has to be less than or equal to 26.39.

The amount of money Elena can buy has to be less than or equal to $30. Thus, the inequality sign to be used is the less than or equal to sign.

(1 + tax)cost of books + cost of bus fare ≤ value of the gift

1.08c + 1.5 ≤ 30

In order to determine the maximum cost of books, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms

1.08c  ≤ 30 - 1.5

Add similar terms together

1.08c  ≤ 28.50

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.08

c  ≤ 28.50 / 1.08

c  ≤ 26.39

Find the value of x such that 365 based seven + 43 based x = 217 based 10.
Pepsi [2]

We need to find the base x in the following equation:

365_7+43_x=217_{10}

First, lets convert 365 from base 7 to base 10. This is given by

365_7=3\times7^2+6\times7^1+5\times7^0

where the upperindex denotes the position of eah number. This gives

\begin{gathered} 365_7=3\times49+6\times7+5\times1 \\ 365_7=147+42+5 \\ 365_7=194_{10} \end{gathered}

that is, 365 based 7 is equal to 194 bases 10.

Now, lets do the same for 43 based x. Lets convert 43 based x to base 10:

43_x=4\times x^1+3\times x^0

where again, the superindex 0 and 1 denote the position 0 and 1 in the number 43. This gives

43_x=(4x+3)_{10}

Now, we have all number in base 10. Then, our first equation can be written in base 10 as

194_{10}+(4x+3)_{10}=217_{10}

For simplicity, we can omit the 10 and get

194+4x+3=217

so, we can solve this equation for x. By combining similar terms. we have

197+4x=217

and by moving 197 to the right hand side, we obtain

\begin{gathered} 4x=217-197 \\ 4x=20 \end{gathered}

Finally, we get

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{20}{4} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution is x=5

A consumer affairs investigator records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected washers. A sample mean of $64.26 and standard de
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Critical value: z = 1.28

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $46.487 and $82.033.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.80}{2} = 0.10

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9, so z = 1.28

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

So

M = 1.28*\frac{27.77}{\sqrt{4}} = 17.773

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So 64.26 - 17.773 = $46.487.

The upper end of the interval is M added to the mean. So 64.26 + 17.773 = $82.033.

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $46.487 and $82.033.
