the choices are below
the predicted mean of the population will be less than 200.
The predicted mean of the population will be less than 245.
The predicted mean of the population will be more than 275.
The predicted mean of the population will be more than 250.
b is the answer
<span>1/3(21-3a)=6-a
I simplified the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
<span>1/3(21-3a)=6-a
Simplifying:
<span> + 0.333333333333*(21-3a)=6-a
Reorder the terms in parentheses
<span>+(+7-1a)=6-a
Remove unnecessary parentheses
<span>+7-1a=+6-a
We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.
<span>-1a+1a=+6-7
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
<span>a=-1
<span>0=-1
The left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution. This equation is invalid
