Step-by-step explanation:

-5 + (-3) example

imagine a number line with 0 in the center. From (0) You move left 5 places to (-5) on the number line. Now you move another 3 more to the left (-3) and land on (-8).

You are combining the negatives. I hope this helps.

For this case by similarity of triangles we can use the following relationship:
(x) / (9) = (5) / (15)
We clear the value of x:
x = ((5) / (15)) * (9)
Rewriting:
x = (1/3) * (9)
x = 3
Answer:
The value of x for this case is:
x = 3

The proportion of a population with a characteristic of interest is p = 0.37. What is the standard deviation of the sampling dis

lukranit [14]

The standard deviation (SD) of a sample proportion obtained when the sample size is 1,600 is equal to 0.0121.

<h3>What is a sample proportion?</h3>

A sample proportion can be defined as the proportion of individuals in a sample that have a specified characteristic or trait.

Mathematically, sample proportion can be calculated by using this formula:

$\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n}$

Where:

x represent the number of individuals with a specified characteristic.
n represent the total number of individuals in a sample.

In Mathematics, the standard deviation (SD) of a sample proportion obtained when the sample size is 1,600 can be calculated by using this formula:

Standard deviation (SD) = √(p(1 - p)/n)

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Standard deviation (SD) = √(0.37(1 - 0.37)/1,600)

Standard deviation (SD) = √(0.37(0.63)/1,600)

Standard deviation (SD) = √(0.2331)/1,600)

Standard deviation (SD) = √0.0001457

Standard deviation (SD) = 0.0121.

If 6 times a number is added to -4, the result is 10 times the number. Find the number.

andrew11 [14]

the number is - 1

let the number be n then 6 times the number is 6n and added to -4 is

- 4 + 6n = 10n ( equal to 10 times the number )

subtract 6n from both sides

- 4 = 4n ( divide both sides by 4 )

$\frac{-4}{4}$ = n , hence n = - 1
