Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct solution:

6 - 2x + 5 + 4x

= -2x + 4x + 6 + 5

= 2x + 11.

It looks like they added unlike terms together (4x + 5) to give 9x (incorrect) then added the 4x to give 13x.

A bookshelf can hold a maximum of 45 books. Let b represents the number of books to be shelved. Which inequality represents how

leonid [27]

The number of books that can be shelved is 45. So then we know that the amount that need to be shelved can be 45, if the bookshelf had 0 books on it. This means that it can have the equal part of the inequality sign.

However, the amount of book that need to be shelved cannot exceed 45, so b must be less than 45.

Therefore, the answer must be D) b ≤ 45.

Use the information provided to determine a 95% confidence interval for the population variance. A researcher was interested in

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population variance is given as follows:

$\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}$

It is provided that:

n = 20

s = 3.9

Confidence level = 95%

⇒ α = 0.05

Compute the critical values of Chi-square:

$\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,19}=32.852\\\\\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{1-0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,19}=8.907$

*Use a Chi-square table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population variance as follows:

$\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}$

$\frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{32.852}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{8.907}\\\\8.7967\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.4453\\\\8.80\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.45$
