Complete Question
A random telephone survey of 1021 adults (aged 18 and older) was conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of CompleteTax, an online tax preparation and e-filing service. The survey results showed that 684 of those surveyed planned to file their taxes electronically (CompleteTax Tax Prep Survey 2010).
a. Develop a descriptive statistic that can be used to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically. (to nearest whole number)
b. The survey reported that the most frequently used method for preparing the tax return is to hire an accountant or professional tax preparer. If 60% of the people surveyed had their tax return prepared this way, how many people used an accountant or professional
tax preparer?
c. Other methods that the person filing the return often used include manual preparation, use of an online tax service, and use of a software tax program. Would the data for the method for preparing the tax return be considered categorical or quantitative?
Answer:
a. A descriptive statistic that can be used to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically is the measure of frequency, using percentage.
Therefore, we can say that the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically is 67% (684/1,021 * 100).
b. If 60% of the people surveyed prepared their tax returns by hiring an accountant or professional tax preparer, the number of persons who used professionals is:
= 613 (1,021 * 60%)
c. The data for the method for preparing the tax return would be considered categorical.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sample number of adults surveyed = 1,021
Number of those surveyed who planned to file electronically = 684
This means that those who planned to file manually = 337 (1,021 - 684)
b) Descriptive statistics summarize the basic features of the data set.
Categorical data groups data with similar characteristics together instead of using numerical values like quantitative data.

1. Choose a variable to represent the number of posts Kevin writes. Explain why you chose this variable. (2 points)
The expression will be P for "of posts Kevin writes."
2. Which operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) applies to this situation? Justify your choice. (2 points)
The operation I will use is subtraction so P-7.
3. Use your variable and the operation you identified to write an expression for the number of posts Cheryl wrote. (3 points)
Subtraction would be the operation and my expression would be ( P-7 ) which would also be ( 21 - 7 )
4. If Kevin wrote 21 posts, how many did Cheryl write? (3 points)
Cheryl wrote 14 posts, because 21 - 7 = 14
Hope this helps <3
1. We have chosen a variable 'x' to represent the number of posts by Kevin.
2. Subtraction applies to this situation.
3. The number of posts written by Cheryl is (x - 7).
4. If Kevin wrote 21 posts, Cheryl wrote 14 posts.
What is an equation?An equation is written in the form of variables and constants separated by the operation of multiplication and division,
An equation states that terms in different forms on both sides of the equality sign are equal.
Multiplication and division do not separate the terms of an equation.
Let, Kevin writes 'x' number of posts,
Therefore, Cheryl writes (x - 7) posts.
We could have chosen any letters for the number of posts Kevin writes,
And as Cheryl writes fewer posts than Keving we subtracted the number.
If Kevin writes 21 posts, 'x' is 21, And hence Cheryl has written,
(21 -7).
= 14 posts.

What is logical equivalence?
A tautology is a claim that is true no matter what the truth values of the propositional variables it includes are.Contradictions and absurdities refer to a group of propositions that are all untrue.It's also known as a contingency when a composite proposition contains neither a tautology nor a contradiction.What does this imply in actuality, though?To make sense of this, go to the following truth table.
Contradiction and tautology
Inconsistency, contradiction, and tautology So a tautology is when every single statement in a column is true, as defined by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and is often indicated by a bold-faced capital T. When the entire column is untrue, a contradiction, which is often denoted by a boldface capital F, exists.
However, why is this significant?
We may better understand propositional equivalences, or assertions that are equivalent in logical reasoning, by using tautologies and contradictions, which are necessary in establishing or verifying mathematical arguments. Our task will be to confirm the logical equivalentity of propositions like p and q.

Witch one is a function?
This shows a list of points where the x coordinate does not repeat. This means that any given x input leads to exactly one y output.
Something like choice A has x = 6 repeated; showing that x = 6 leads to both y = 11 and y = -9 at the same time. So this is why choice A is not a function. Choice B has x = 1 repeat, so it's not a function either. Choice C has x = 19 repeated, so it's not a function.

Answer:
y = (2/3)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
m = (1 - (-1)) ÷ (3 - 0)
m = 2 ÷ 3
m = 2/3
Insert slope and one of the points. I'm using (0, -1).
Solve for b.

Answer:
A. Cendric is correct because he used the inverse of subtraction and added 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, all we needed to do was to make x stand alone. To do this, we have to apply addition property of equality. This means we would add 4.5 to both sides for the equation to balance. Thus, we would have z standing alone which equals 3.
Therefore, Cendric was correct because he used the inverse of subtraction of -4.5, which is 4.5 that was later added to both sides of the equation.
Susan Williams has been the production manager of Medical Suppliers, Inc., for the past 17 years. Medical Suppliers, Inc., is a producer of bandages and arm slings. During the past 5 years, the demand for No-Stick bandages has been fairly constant. On average, sales have been about 87,000 packages of No- Stick. Susan has reason to believe that the distribution of No-Stick follows a normal curve, with a standard deviation of 4,000 packages. What is the probability that sales will be less than 81,000 packages
Answer:
the probability that sales will be less than 81,000 packages is 0.6681
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
Average sales μ = 87,000
standard deviation σ = 4,000
x' = 81,000
P( x < 81,000) = ?
so
P( x < 81,000) = P( x - μ / σ )
we substitute
P( x < 81,000) = P( 81,000 - 87000 / 4000 )
P( x < 81,000) = P( - 6000 / 4000 ) = -1.5
from table;
P( z < 1.5 ) = 0.6681
Therefore the probability that sales will be less than 81,000 packages is 0.6681
2- 1/2n=3n+16
I need you to solve the whole equation step by step
Answer:
n = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 - 1/2 n = 3n + 16
Combine the constants by subtracting 2 from both sides.
-1/2n = 3n + 14
Combine the variable by subtracting 3n from both sides.
-7/2n = 14
Multiply both sides by 2 to simplify the fraction.
-7n = 28
Isolate n by dividing by -7 on both sides.
n = -4
Check.
2 - 1/2(-4) = 3(-4) + 16
2 + 2 = -12 + 16
4 = 4
Your answer is correct.
Answer:
2-16=3n+1/2n
-14=(6n+n)/2

ELM Ridge
Last Year 1,870
and this Year 1,926
Answer:
ELM Ridge is growing at a faster rate
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the solution, we calculate the growth rate of both cities
Given :
Nadia : Preston
Population Last Year 5,589
This Year 5,702
Growth rate:
[(this year population - Last year population) / last year population] * 100%
[(5702 - 5589) / 5589] * 100%
(113 / 5589) * 100%
= 0.0202182 * 100%
= 2.02%
ELM Ridge
Last Year 1,870
This Year 1,926
Growth rate:
[(this year population - Last year population) / last year population] * 100%
[(1926 - 1870) / 1870] * 100%
(56 / 1870) * 100%
= 0.0299465 * 100%
= 2.994%

Answer:
s e([tex]p^{-} _{1} - p^{-} _{2}[/tex] ) = 0.07576
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
The proportion of the first sample
[tex]p^{-} _{1} = \frac{x_{1} }{n_{1} } = \frac{23}{53} = 0.43396[/tex]
The proportion of the second sample
[tex]p^{-} _{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{n_{2} } = \frac{48}{178} = 0.2696[/tex]
Step(ii):-
Standard Error of ([tex]p^{-} _{1} - p^{-} _{2}[/tex]) is determined by
[tex]se(p^{-} _{1} - p^{-} _{2}) = \sqrt{\frac{p^{-} _{1} (1-p^{-} _{1} )}{n_{1} }+\frac{p^{-} _{2}(1-p^{-} _{2} ) }{n_{2} } }[/tex]
[tex]se(p^{-} _{1} - p^{-} _{2}) = \sqrt{\frac{0.43396) (1-0.43396 )}{53 }+\frac{0.2696(1-0.2696 ) }{178} }[/tex]
on simplification, we get
s e([tex]p^{-} _{1} - p^{-} _{2}[/tex] ) = 0.07576

Explanation:
Please let me know if you want me to add an explanation as to why this is the answer/how I got this answer. I can definitely do that, I just wouldn’t want to write it if you don’t want me to :)
The value of 'x' in two similar triangles is 6.46.
What is a triangle?A triangle is a three-sided closed-plane figure formed by joining three noncolinear points. Based on the side property triangles are of three types they are Equilateral triangle, Scalene triangle, and Isosceles triangle.
We know in similar triangles the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
Therefore, The equation to determine the value of 'x' should be,
(2x - 6)/20 = 36/(x + 6).
36(2x - 6) = 20(x + 6).
72x - 216 = 20x + 120.
72x - 20x = 120 + 216.
52x = 336.
x = 336/52.
x = 6.46.

Solve the equation 3x-1 = -7
Answer: x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we move the constant to the right.
3x = -7 + 1
then, we calculate that.
3x = -6
finally, we divide both sides.
x = -2
The solution to the equation 3x - 1 = -7 is x = -2.
To solve the equation 3x - 1 = -7, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Here are the steps to solve it:
Step 1: Start with the given equation: 3x - 1 = -7.
Step 2: To eliminate the constant term (-1) on the left side, we can add 1 to both sides of the equation:
3x - 1 + 1 = -7 + 1.
Simplifying, we get: 3x = -6.
Step 3: Now, we want to isolate x, so we need to get rid of the coefficient 3 in front of x.
We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
(3x)/3 = (-6)/3.
Simplifying further, we have: x = -2.
Step 4: We have found the solution to the equation: x = -2.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x - 1 = -7 is x = -2.
