Answer:

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is

1.06(0.88 y) ⇒ (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price of an item is discounted, that mean its new price will be less its initial price

The taxes on item, makes its new price greater than the initial price because tax is add

Let us solve the problem

∵ Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off

→ That means the new price will (100% - 12%) of the initial price

∵ y represented the initial price of the game

→ Multiply y by (100% - 12%) to get the new price

∴ The new price = y (100% - 12%)

∴ The new price = y (88%)

→ Change 88% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The new price = y ( $\frac{88}{100}$ )

∴ The new price = 0.88 y

∵ The sales tax in her county is 6%

→ That means the final cost will be (100% + 6%) of 0.88 y

∴ The final cost = (100% + 6%) × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 106% × (0.88 y)

→ Change 106% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The final cost = $\frac{106}{100}$ × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 1.06(0.88 y)

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is 1.06(0.88 y)

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

number of successes

$k = 235$

number of failure

$y = 265$

The criteria are met

A

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.47$

B

$E =4.4 \%$

C

What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the which sample proportion obtain will differ from the true population proportion will not more than 4.4%

Ci

$r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%$

$v = 0.426 = 42.6 \%$

D

This 95% confidence interval mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit is 95%

E

Given that 50% of the population proportion lie with the 95% confidence interval the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time

F

Yes our result would support the claim because

$\frac{1}{3 } \ of N < \frac{1}{2} (50\%) \ of \ N , \ Where\ N \ is \ the \ population\ size$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 500$

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.47$

Generally the number of successes is mathematical represented as

$k = n * \r p$

substituting values

$k = 500 * 0.47$

$k = 235$

Generally the number of failure is mathematical represented as

$y = n * (1 -\r p )$

substituting values

$y = 500 * (1 - 0.47 )$

$y = 265$

for approximate normality for a confidence interval criteria to be satisfied

$np > 5 \ and \ n(1- p ) \ >5$

Given that the above is true for this survey then we can say that the criteria are met

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha =0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p}{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.47 (1- 0.47}{500} }$

$E = 0.044$

=> $E =4.4 \%$

What this mean is that for N number of times the survey is carried out that the proportion obtain will differ from the true population proportion of those that are happy by more than 4.4%

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

substituting values

$0.47 - 0.044 < p < 0.47 + 0.044$

$0.426 < p < 0.514$

The upper limit of the 95% confidence interval is $r = 0.514 = 51.4 \%$

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is $v = 0.426 = 42.6 \%$

This 95% confidence interval mean that the the chance of the true population proportion of those that are happy to be exist within the upper and the lower limit is 95%

Given that 50% of the population proportion lie with the 95% confidence interval the it correct to say that it is reasonably likely that a majority of U.S. adults were happy at that time

Yes our result would support the claim because

$\frac{1}{3 } < \frac{1}{2} (50\%)$

An inspector checks 98 cell phones and finds that 2 of them are defective. A company has 850 of these phones. How many of the co

jekas [21]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

As 2 phones are defective from a group of 98 that were checked, you can determine a percentage:

2/98= 2%

This indicates that 2% of the phones are likely to be defective and because of that you can find 2% of 850:

850*2%= 17

According to this, 17 phones are likely to be defective.
