6.6% of 16,368 = 1,080.288
16,368 - 1,080.288 = 15,287.712
So the price before sales tax was $15,287.712
Hope it helps!

A taxi driver had 27 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $14, and the price for a

OLga [1]

Answer:

(15, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's generate two systems of equations that fit this scenario.

Number of trips to the airport = x

Number of trips from the airport = y

Total number of trips to and from the airport = 27

Thus:

$x + y = 27$ => equation 1.

Total price for trips to the Airport = 14*x = 14x

Total price of trips from the airport = 7*y = 7y

Total collected for the day = $294

Thus:

$14x + 7y = 294$ => equation 2.

Multiply equation 1 by 7, and multiply equation 2 by 1 to make both equations equivalent.

7 × $x + y = 27$

1 × $14x + 7y = 294$

Thus:

$7x + 7y = 189$ => equation 3

$14x + 7y = 294$ => equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

-7x = -105

Divide both sides by -7

x = 15

Substitute x = 15 in equation 1

$x + y = 27$

$15 + y = 27$

Subtract both sides by 15

$y = 27 - 15$

$y = 12$

The ordered pair would be (15, 12)

In college basketball, a shot made from beyond a designated arc radiating about 20 ft from the basket is worth three points ins

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean $\mu = 0.45$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497$

b) 4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we are going to need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For proportions, we have that the mean is $\mu = p$ and the standard deviation is $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.45, n = 100$

a)By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean $\mu = 0.45$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497$

b)This is Z when X = 0.25.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.25 – 0.45}{0.0497}$

$Z = -4.02$

4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered

surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.
