Simplify your answer as much as possible
You said - 1/3 - 3/5 x = 1/2
Multiply each side by 3 :
- 1 - 9/5 x = 3/2
Multiply each side by 5 :
- 5 - 9x = 15/2
Multiply each side by 2 :
- 10 - 18x = 15
Add 10 to each side :
- 18x = 25
Divide each side by -18 :
x = - 25/18
or x = - 1 and 7/18 (same thing)

The mean weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. Does the sample data show a significant increase in the average birthrate at a 5% level of significance?
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is 6.6 lb.
B. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than 6.6 lb.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is greater than 6.6 lb.
D. Cannot calculate because the population standard deviation is unknown
Answer:
The correct option is A
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population is [tex]\mu = 6.6[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]
The sample data is 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds
The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 6.6[/tex]
The Alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu > 6.6[/tex]
The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is
[tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05 } = 1.645[/tex]
Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\=x = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\=x = \frac{9.0 + 7.3 + 6.0+ 8.8+ 6.8+ 8.4+6.6 }{7}[/tex]
[tex]\=x = 7.5571[/tex]
The standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum [ x - \= x ]}{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ [ 9.0-7.5571]^2 + [7.3 -7.5571]^2 + [6.0-7.5571]^2 + [8.8- 7.5571]^2 + [6.8- 7.5571]^2 + [8.4 - 7.5571]^2+ [6.6- 7.5571]^2 }{7} }[/tex][tex]\sigma = 1.1774[/tex]
Generally the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu } { \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{7.5571 - 6.6 } { \frac{1.1774 }{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.4274[/tex]
Looking at the value of t and [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] we see that [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis
What this implies is that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample data show as significant increase in the average birth rate
The conclusion is that the mean is [tex]\mu = 6.6 \ lb[/tex]

Kenji earned the test scores below in English class.
79, 91, 93, 85, 86, and 88
What are the mean and median of his test scores?
Answer:
mean=87
median=87
Step-by-step explanation:
mean=sum of test score/number of subject
mean=79+91+93+85+86+88/6
mean=522/6
mean=87
Literal meaning of median is medium.
To find the number which lies in the medium, we must rearrange the number in ascending.
79, 91, 93, 85, 86, 88
79, 85, 86, 88, 91, 93
86+88/2=87

When is it easier to use the addition method rather than the substitution method to solve a system of equations?
Answer: When the addition of two or more equations leads to the elimination of one of the variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have a system of equations, the addition method seems to be useful only when adding the equations will lead to the elimination of one of the variables:
An example of this can be, for the variables x and y:
3*x + x*y - 2*y = 3
x^2 + x*y - 2y = 42
now we can "add" (actually subtract) the equations and get (eq2 minus eq1)
(x^2 + x*y - 2y) - (3*x + x*y - 2*y ) = 42 - 3
x^2 - 3*x = 39
x^2 - 3*x - 39 = 0
And now we can solve it for x, and then find the value of y.

The value of x is 10.
We have a circle and inside it two chords MY and NT intersect at point H.
We have to find the value of x in the figure.
What is intersecting chord theorem?According to the intersecting chord theorem, when two chords say AB and CD intersect at point O, then
AO x OB = CO x OD
Applying the chord intersecting theorem to the figure in the question, we get -
MH x HY = NH x HT
12 x 20 = (x+20) x 8
240 = 8x + 160
8x = 80
x = 10
Hence the value of x is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The total number of songs is [tex]n = 59[/tex]
The number of songs you liked is [tex]k = 18[/tex]
The probability that you like the next four songs that are played? (Assume a song cannot be repeated) is mathematically represented as

Find the minimum sample size n needed to estimate for the given values of c, , and E. c, , and E Assume that a preliminary sample has at least 30 members.
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Find the minimum sample size n needed to estimate μ For the given values of c, σ, and E. c=0.98, σ=6.5, and E=22 Assume that a preliminary sample has at least 30 members.
Answer : 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
E = 2.2,
std ( σ ) = 6.5
c ( level of confidence ) = 0.98
To find the minimum sample size
we have to first obtain the value of [tex]Z_{a/2}[/tex]
note : a can be found using this relation :
( 1 - a ) = 0.98 ----- equation 1
a = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
hence: a/2 = 0.01
This means that P( Z ≤ z ) = 0.99 the value of z can be found using the table of standard normal distribution. from the table the value of z = 2.33
P( Z ≤ 2.33 ) = 0.99
To obtain the sample size n
[tex]n = (\frac{std*z}{E} )^{2}[/tex]
n = [tex](\frac{6.5*2.33}{2.2} )^2[/tex] = (6.88409)^2
Therefore n ≈ 48
It has been reported that 20.4% of incoming freshmen indicate that they will major in business or a related field. A random sample of 400 incoming college freshmen was asked their preference, and 95 replied that they were considering business as a major. Estimate the true proportion of freshman business majors with 98% confidence. Does your interval contain 20.4%?
Answer:
The 98% confidence interval
[tex]0.1884 < p < 0.2876[/tex]
The confidence interval contains 20.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 400
The number that replied that they were considering business as a major [tex]x = 95[/tex]
The sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\r p = \frac{95}{400}[/tex]
[tex]\r p = 0.238[/tex]
Given that the confidence level 98% then the level of significance is evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 98[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 2 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table is
[tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.33[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{ p (1 - p )}{n} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 2.33 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.238 (1 - 0.238 )}{400} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.0496[/tex]
The 98% confidence interval is mathematically represented
[tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]
=> [tex]0.238 - 0.0496 < p <0.238 + 0.0496[/tex]
=> [tex]0.1884 < p < 0.2876[/tex]
Given that
[tex]\sqrt{2p-7}=3[/tex]
and
[tex]7\sqrt{3q-1}=2[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]p + {q}^{2} [/tex]
Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
The two given expressions are:
● √(2p-7) = 3
● 7√(3q-1) = 2
We are told to evaluate p+q^2
To do that let's find the values of p and q^2
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Let's start with p.
● √(2p-7) = 3
Square both sides
● (2p-7) = 3^2
● 2p-7 = 9
Add 7 to both sides
● 2p-7+7 = 9+7
● 2p = 16
Divide both sides by 2
● 2p/2 = 16/2
● p = 8
So the value of p is 8
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Let's find the value of q^2
● 7√(3q-1) = 2
Square both sides
● 7^2 × (3q-1) = 2^2
● 49 × (3q-1) = 4
● 49 × 3q - 49 × 1 = 4
● 147q - 49 = 4
Add 49 to both sides
● 147q -49 +49 = 4+49
● 147q = 53
Divide both sides by 147
● 147q/147 = 53/147
● q = 53/ 147
Square both sides
● q^2 = 53^2 / 147^2
● q^2 = 2809/21609
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
● p+q^2 = 8 +(2809/21609)
● p+q^2 = (2809 + 8×21609)/21609
● p+q^2 = 175681 / 21609
● p + q^2 = 8.129
Round it to the nearest unit
● p+ q^2 = 8
According to the Federal Communications Commission, 70% of all U.S. households have vcrs. In a random sample of 15 households, what is the probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The probability of success is p = 0.70
The sample size is [tex]n = 15[/tex]
Generally the distribution of U.S. households have vcrs follow a binomial distribution given that there are only two outcome (household having vcrs or household not having vcrs )
The probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]q = 1- p[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]q = 1- 0.70[/tex]
[tex]q = 0.30[/tex]
The probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1- [P(13) + P(14) + P(15)][/tex]
=> [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13} *p^{13}* q^{15-13})+ (\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14} *p^{14}* q^{15-14}) +( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15} *p^{15}* q^{15-15}) ][/tex]
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13}[/tex] means 15 combination 13 and the value is 105 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14}[/tex] means 15 combination 14 and the value is 15 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15}[/tex] means 15 combination 15 and the value is 1 (obtained from calculator)
So
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *p^{13}* q^{2})+ (15 *p^{14}* q^{1}) +(1*p^{15}* q^{0}) ][/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *(0.70)^{13}* (0.30)^{2})+ (15 *(0.70)^{14}* (0.30)^{1}) +(1*(0.70)^{15}* (0.30)^{0}) ][/tex]
[tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]

Answer:
maximum --> 62
median --> 46.5
upper quartile --> 60
lower quartile --> 37
minimum --> 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Forgive me on the explanation as I'm a bit rusty on these types of problems.
First, we need to put the set of numbers in order -->
from: 34, 37, 39, 32, 48, 45, 53, 62, 58, 61, 60, 41 -->
to: 32, 34, 37, 39, 41, 45, 48, 53, 58, 60, 61, 62
maximum = biggest number => thus, 62
median = middle number in a sense => (45+48)/2 => thus, 46.5
upper quartile = median over the median => thus, 60
lower quartile = median under the median => thus, 37
minimum = lowest number => thus, 32
And there we have our 5 answers.
Hope this helps!
Records indicate that x years after 2008, the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community was T(x) =20x^2+40x+600 dollars.
Required:
a. At what rate was the property tax increasing with respect to time in 2008?
b. By how much did the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012?
Answer:
a) 40 dollars
b) 480 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community modelled by the equation T(x) =20x²+40x+600, the rate at which the property tax is increasing with respect to time in 2008 can be derived by solving for the function T'(x) at x=0
T'(x) = 2(20)x¹ + 40x° + 0
T'(x) = 40x+40
At x = 0,
T'(0) = 40(0)+40
T'(0) = 40
Hence the property tax was increasing at a rate of 40dollars with respect to the initial year (2008).
b) There are 4 years between 2008 and 2012. To know how much that the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012, we will find T(4) - T(0)
Given T(x) =20x²+40x+600
T(4) =20(4)²+40(4)+600
T(4) = 320+160+600
T(4) = 1080 dollars
Also T(0) =20(0)²+40(0)+600
T(0) = 0+0+600
T(0)= 600 dollars
T(4) - T(0) = 1080 - 600
T(4) - T(0) = 480 dollars
Hence, the tax has changed by $480 between 2008 and 2012

Which equation does the graph of the systems of equations solve? (1 point) 2 linear graphs. They intersect at negative 1, 1
Answer:
3x +4 = -2x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The line that goes up to the right has a y-intercept of +4. This is where it crosses the y-axis. It's slope (rise/run) is 3/1 = 3, so its equation in slope-intercept form is ...
y = mx +b . . . . where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept
y = 3x +4
The other line has a negative slope and a y-intercept of -1. The slope of that line is rise/run = -2/1 = -2, so its equation is ...
y = -2x -1
__
The solution point will have the x-coordinate that is the solution of the equation ...
y = y
3x +4 = -2x -1 . . . . . . substituting the above expressions for y.

Daniel and Jack together sell 96 tickets to a raffle. Daniel sold 12 more tickets than his friend. How many raffle tickets each friend sell?
Answer:
Daniel sold 54 and Jack sold 42
Step-by-step explanation:
D = number of tickets that Daniel sold
J = number of tickets that Jack sold
D + J = 96
D = 12+ J
Substitute the second equation into the first equation
12 + J + J = 96
Combine like terms
12 + 2J = 96
Subtract 12 from each side
2J = 84
Divide by 2
J = 42
D = J+12
D = 54
Daniel sold 54 and Jack sold 42
Answer:
Jack sold 42 & Daniel sold 54.
Step-by-step explanation:
96 - 12 = 84
84 / 2 = 42
Jack sold 42.
42 + 12 = 54
Daniel sold 54.
42 + 54 = 96

Answer:
(A) The shape of the distribution of the sample mean is bell-shaped.
(B) The standard error of the distribution of the sample mean is 1.1.
(C) The proportion of the samples that have a mean useful life of more than 36 hours is 0.1814.
(D) The proportion of the sample that has a mean useful life greater than 34.5 hours is 0.6736.
(E) The proportion of the sample that has a mean useful life between 34.5 and 36.0 hours is 0.4922.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Power +, Inc. produces AA batteries used in remote-controlled toy cars. The mean life of these batteries follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of 35.0 hours and a standard deviation of 5.5 hours.
As a part of its quality assurance program, Power +, Inc. tests samples of 25 batteries.
Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean life of these batteries
(A) The shape of the distribution of the sample mean will be bell-shaped because the sample mean also follows the normal distribution as it is taken from the population data only.
(B) The standard error of the distribution of the sample mean is given by;
Standard error = [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Here, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 5.5 hours
n = sample of batteries = 25
So, the standard error = [tex]\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} }[/tex] = 1.1.
(C) The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean life of battery = 35.0 hours
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 5.5 hours
n = sample of batteries = 25
Now, the proportion of the samples that will have a mean useful life of more than 36 hours is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 36 hours)
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 36 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{36-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > 0.91) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.91)
= 1 - 0.8186 = 0.1814
(D) The proportion of the samples that will have a mean useful life of more than 34.5 hours is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 34.5 hours)
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 34.5 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{34.5-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > -0.45) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.45)
= 0.6736
(E) The proportion of the samples that will have a mean useful life between 34.5 and 36.0 hours is given by = P(34.5 hrs < [tex]\bar X[/tex] > 36 hrs)
P(34.5 hrs < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hrs) = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hrs) - P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 34.5 hrs)
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{36-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.91) = 0.8186
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 34.5 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{34.5-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -0.45) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.45)
= 1 - 0.6736 = 0.3264
Therefore, P(34.5 hrs < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hrs) = 0.8186 - 0.3264 = 0.4922.
Given the number of trials and the probability of success, determine the probability indicated: a. n = 15, p = 0.4, find P(4 successes) b. n = 12, p = 0.2, find P(2 failures) c. n = 20, p = 0.05, find P(at least 3 successes)
Answer:
A)0.126775 B)0.000004325376 C) 0.07548
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
A.) a. n = 15, p = 0.4, find P(4 successes)
a = number of trials p=probability of success
P(4 successes) = P(x = 4)
USING:
nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)
15C4 * 0.4^4 * (1-0.4)^(15-4)
1365 * 0.0256 * 0.00362797056
= 0.126775
B)
b. n = 12, p = 0.2, find P(2 failures),
P(2 failures) = P(12 - 2) = p(10 success)
USING:
nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)
12C10 * 0.2^10 * (1-0.2)^(12-10)
66 * 0.0000001024 * 0.64
= 0.000004325376
C) n = 20, p = 0.05, find P(at least 3 successes)
P(X≥ 3) = p(3) + p(4) + p(5) +.... p(20)
To avoid complicated calculations, we can use the online binomial probability distribution calculator :
P(X≥ 3) = 0.07548
cSuppose you are standing such that a 45-foot tree is directly between you and the sun. If you are standing 200 feet away from the tree and the tree casts a 225-foot shadow, how tall could you be and still be completely in the shadow of the tree? x 225 ft 200 ft 45 ft Your height is ft (If needed, round to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
you could stand at 5.0 ft and still be completely in the shadow of the tree
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached below;
We consider;
[tex]\overline {BC}[/tex] to be the height of the tree and [tex]\overline {DE}[/tex] to be the height of how tall you could be and still be completely in the shadow of the tree.
∠D = ∠B = 90°
Also;
ΔEAD = ΔBAC (similar triangles)
Therefore, their sides will also be proportional
i.e
[tex]\dfrac{\overline {DE}}{ \overline {BC}}= \dfrac{\overline{AD}}{ \overline{AC}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x}{ 45}= \dfrac{225-220}{225}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x}{ 45}= \dfrac{25}{225}[/tex]
By cross multiply
225x = 45 × 25
[tex]x = \dfrac{45 \times 25}{225}[/tex]
[tex]x = \dfrac{1125}{225}[/tex]
x = 5.0 ft
Therefore, you could stand at 5.0 ft and still be completely in the shadow of the tree
