Conclusion:  The initial price of the telescope is $91.

Detailed explanation:

Given that

Jane's tax payment for the telescope was $4.55

with a tax rate of 5%

Let x be the price of the telescope

According to the problem,

\frac{5}{100}\times x=4.55\\\\x=\frac{100}{5}\times 4.55\\\\x=20\times 4.55\\\\x=\$91

Thus, the original price of the telescope is $91.

The telescope’s cost is $91

4.55 divided by 5% (0.05) equals 91.

Joey is planning to invest his savings in a fixed income fund. He manages to deposit $700 at the end of the first year, $500 at
tester [12383]
The final amount comes to $2313.51. Explanation: We compute the future value of each cash flow and aggregate them. Initially, $700 is deposited after year one. Considering a timeframe of three years at an interest rate of 6%. Next, $500 is deposited at the end of the second year, maturing in two years. Finally, $300 is deposited after three years, maturing in one year. Moreover, an additional $600 is deposited at the end of year four with no interest accrued on that amount. Therefore, the terminal value equals $833.71 plus $561.80 plus $318 plus $600 totals $2313.51.

An ANOVA test is the appropriate method. Step-by-step explanation: The ANOVA test, which assesses the means of more than two samples, will be applied here. Given that three different test groups were utilized, this statistical test will be necessary for determining if the means are the same. Note that this test merely informs us of the means' equality, not which mean surpasses the others; for that determination, three separate hypothesis tests would be required, comparing two means at a time.
