A country is considering two income tax rates. Geoffrey is comparing what his tax bill would be under each plan. Under plan A, h

e pays 5% on the first $10,000. The next $85,000 is taxed at a rate of 10%. Any money earned above $95,000 is taxed at 15%. He made $98,000 last year. Which statement below is correct?
   Plan A Tax Rates                                 
x  $10,0005%$10,000  x  $95,00010%x > $95,00015%
Plan B Tax Rates

All levels of income

10%

CHOICES:
He would pay approximately $350 more under plan B.He would pay approximately $1,925 more under plan B.He would pay approximately $5,700 more under plan A.He would pay approximately $4,900 more under plan A.

The total tax rate for each plan is computed below:
Plan A= [5%(10000)]+[10%(85000)]+[(15%(3000)]
Plan A= $9450
For Plan B, tax is computed at 10% across all earnings
Plan B= 10%x(98000)
Plan B= $9800
Difference = Plan B-Plan A=($9800-$9450)
                   = $350
From the computed tax rate in each plan. Plan B will pay $350 more than Plan A.

A solid silver paperweight in the form of a square pyramid is shown below. If silver costs $0.12 per cubic centimeter, how much
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

It would cost $232.32, this answer is rounded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is:

V=a^2\frac{h}{3}

So its just:

8.8^2\frac{12.5}{3} = 322.67 cm^3

Then you just multiply the volume by the cost per cubic centimetre:

322.67cm^3*$0.12=$38.704

After just multiply the cost of one by how many you want, which is 6:

38/704*6=232.32

To plan the budget for next year a college must update its estimate of the proportion of next year's freshmen class that will ne
Naily [24]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.35  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.35  

z=\frac{0.447 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{150}}}=2.491  

p_v =P(z>2.491)=0.0064  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of applicants who request financial aid is significantly higher than 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=150 represent the random sample taken

X=67 represent the applicants who request financial aid

\hat p=\frac{67}{150}=0.447 estimated proportion of applicants who request financial aid

p_o=0.35 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of applicants who request financial aid is higher than 0.35.:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.35  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.35  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.447 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{150}}}=2.491  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.491)=0.0064  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of applicants who request financial aid is significantly higher than 0.35

If s(x) = 2 – x2 and t(x) = 3x, which value is equivalent to (s circle t) (negative 7)?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

-439

Step-by-step explanation:

(s circle t) (negative 7) is a notation for a compound function.

A compound function is a function that has as an argument another function.

Another notation for this compound function is s(t(-7)), that is, the result of the function t(-7) is the value that will be used in the function s(x).

So, first we calculate the value of t(-7):

t(x) = 3x

t(-7) = 3*(-7) = -21

Now, we apply this value for s(x):

s(x) = 2 - x2

s(t(-7)) = s(-21) = 2 - (-21)^2 = 2 - 441 = -439
