Ms. Carey wrote the equation: 3x-7-2/3 (9x-6) = 15 on the board. What is the solution to the equation? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=−6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x−7-2/3(9x−6)=15

3x+−7+−6x+4=15(Distribute)

(3x+−6x)+(−7+4)=15(Combine Like Terms)

−3x+−3=15

−3x−3=15

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.

−3x−3+3=15+3

−3x=18

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3=18/−3

x=−6

A random sample of 100,000 credit sales in a department store showed an average sale of $82.25. From past data, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $30.00. The margin of error is 0.186.

Required:
a. What is the 95% confidence interval of the population mean?
b. With a 0.95 probability, determine the sampling error?
c. Determine the standard error of the mean.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample Mean [tex]\overline x[/tex] = 82.25

The Standard deviation of the population [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 30.00

The Sample size = 100,000

The margin of error M.O.E = 0.186

At a 95% confidence interval level;

[tex]=\overline x - M.O.E < \mu < \overline x + M.O.E[/tex]

= 82.25 - 0.186 < [tex]\mu[/tex] < 82.25 +  0.186

= 82.064 < [tex]\mu[/tex] < 82.436

= (82.064 , 82.436)

The 95% confidence interval of the population mean = (82.064 , 82.436)

Before we can determine the sampling error, we need to find the standard error of the mean.

The standard error of the mean is:

[tex]\mu_ {\bar x} = \mu = 82.25[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{30}{\sqrt{100000}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{30}{316.23}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 0.096[/tex]

At 95% confidence interval, the level of significance = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

[tex]Z_{0.05/2} = Z_{0.025}[/tex] = 1.96

Now, the sampling error can be determined by using the formula:

[tex]=Z_{\alpha/2} \times \sigma _{\overline x}[/tex]

[tex]=Z_{0.025} \times \sigma _{\overline x}[/tex]

= 1.96 × 0.096

= 0.18816

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-18&5\\-6&-2\end{array}\right][/tex]

Required

Determine the inverse

A matric is of the form:

[tex]A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right][/tex]

First, we need to calculate the determinant (D)

[tex]D = a * d - b * c[/tex]

By comparison, we have:

[tex]D = (-18 * -2) - (5 * -6)[/tex]

[tex]D = (36) - (-30)[/tex]

[tex]D = 36 +30[/tex]

[tex]D = 66[/tex]

The inverse is then represented as:

[tex]A^{-1} = \frac{1}{D} \left[\begin{array}{cc}d&-b\\-c&a\end{array}\right][/tex]

This gives:

[tex]A^{-1} = \frac{1}{66} \left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&-5\\6&-18\end{array}\right][/tex]

In a survey of 468 registered voters, 152 of them wished to see Mayor Waffleskate lose her next election. The Waffleskate campaign claims that no more than 32% of registered voters wish to see her defeated. Does the 95% confidence interval for the proportion support this claim?

a. The reasonableness of the claim cannot be determined.
b. Yes
c. No

Answers

Answer: b. Yes

Step-by-step explanation: Confidence Interval for a population proportion is calculated as:

p ± [tex]z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }[/tex]

where

p is the sample proportion

n is sample size

z is z-score, in this case, as it is 95%, z-score=1.96

Calculating confidence interval:

[tex]p=\frac{152}{468}[/tex]

p = 0.3248

0.3248 ± [tex]1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3248(0.6752)}{468} }[/tex]

0.3248 ± [tex]1.96\sqrt{0.000468}[/tex]

0.3248 ± 0.0425

Interval: 0.2823 < μ < 0.3673

The interval means we are 95% sure the true mean is between 0.2823 and 0.3673. As the campaign claims a proportion of no more than 0.32 of the voters wants to see Mayor Waffleskate defeated and the number is in the confidence interval, the claim is supported.

An orange punch is 45% juice and a mango punch is 20% juice. By combining the two, a company is making 500 L of a fruit punch that is 40% juice. How many liters of orange punch are needed for the company’s concoction? Make sure to include units. PLEASE FAST. AND SHOW WORK

Answers

Answer:

400 liters of orange punch and 100 liters of mango punch are required to create a mixture with 40% juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the orange punch has 45% juice and the mango punch has 20% juice, if you want to create a mixture of 500 liters of fruit punch that has 40% juice, to determine the percentage of punch of each fruit to be used, the following calculation must be performed:

45 x 1 + 20 x 0 = 45

45 x 0.9 + 20 x 0.1 = 42.5

45 x 0.8 + 20 x 0.2 = 40

Therefore, it takes 80% orange punch and 20% mango punch to create a mixture with 40% juice. Thus, since 500 x 0.8 equals 400, 400 liters of orange punch and 100 liters of mango punch are required to create a mixture with 40% juice.

If the vertex of image Q' is located at coordinates (16,8) was dilated by a scale factor of 2, what was the coordinates for the pre-image Q?​

Answers

Answer:

(32,16)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you dilate a coordinate by a factor say a, the coordinate of the image are multiplied by this factor to get the coordinate of the pre-image. For example, if the coordinate of the image is (x,y) dilated by a factor of "a", the coordinate of the pre-image will be (ax, ay)

Given the coordinate (16, 8) the coordinate of the pre image of dilated by a factor of 2 is given as;

(2×16, 2×8) = (32, 16)

Hence the coordinates for the pre-image Q is (32,16)

Answers

Answer:

Question 1) Is option C: 2. (Question 2) The correct answer is 1.09 for the K12 program. Question 3) Option A: The value of a motorcycle decreases by 12% each year. (Option C) Every year, the number of online subscribers to a service is 4 times what it was the previous year.

The ratio of outputs for any two inputs that are one value apart is 4 thus option (A) is correct. The ratio of outputs for any two inputs that are two values apart is 1/8. The situation in option (3) represents the exponential function.

What are the ratio and proportion?

The ratio is the division of the two numbers.

For example, a/b, where a will be the numerator and b will be the denominator.

Proportion is the relation of a variable with another. It could be direct or inverse.

As per the given table,

The ratio of outputs for any two inputs that are one value apart = (-1/2)/(-1/8) = 4

The ratio of outputs for any two inputs that are two values apart = (-1/8)/(-1) = 1/8

Every year, the number of online subscribers to a service is 4 times what it was the previous year's exponential function with a 4^x exponent.

Hence "The ratio of outputs for any two inputs that are one value apart is 4. The ratio of outputs for any two inputs that are two values apart is 1/8 and the third statement shows exponential function".
