Answer:
x=-8.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write an equation. Twice x (2x) plus 7 (+7) is the same as (=) negative ten (-10), or 2x+7=-10. To solve, first subtract 7 from both sides to get 2x=-17. Then, divide both sides by 2 (x=-8.5).
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then to do away with the denominators, let's multiply both sides by the LCD of all denominators.

Answer:
a. For n=25, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,580, respectively.
b. For n=50, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,117, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, for each sample size, we have a sampling distribution (a distribution for the population of sample means), with the following parameters:

For n=25 we have:

The spread of the sampling distribution is always smaller than the population spread of the individuals. The spread is smaller as the sample size increase.
This has the implication that is expected to have more precision in the estimation of the population mean when we use bigger samples than smaller ones.
If n=50, we have:

Answer:
x = 4 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 8x = 3
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 3 + 16
(x - 4)² = 19 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 4 = ±
( add 4 to both sides )
x = 4 ±
