3x -4 = 6
add 4 to each side
3x = 10
divide both sides by 3
x = 10/3

now if u plug in -2/3 into the equation you'll get 3(-2/3) - 4 = 6
-2 - 4 = 6, but there's an absolute sign so instead of the left side being -6 it will be 6, so 6=6

A bowl of fruit contains only strawberries and grapes. For every 2 strawberries in a bowl there are 5 grapes.

sdas [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$S \to$ Strawberry

$G \to$ Grape

The given parameter can be represented as:

$S : G = 2 : 5$

Required

The question is incomplete as what is required is not stated.

Possible questions could be to determine the number of strawberries given a certain number of grapes, and vice versa

Take for instance

Calculate the number of grapes when there are 20 strawberries

We have:

$S : G = 2 : 5$

This becomes

$20 : G = 2 : 5$

Express as fraction

$\frac{20}{ G} = \frac{2 }{5}$

Make G the subject

$G = 20 * \frac{5}{2}$

$G = 10 * 5$

$G = 50$

<em>i.e. 50 grapes</em>

<em>Apply the same method given a certain number of grapes</em>

Each year, all final year students take a mathematics exam. It is hypothesized that the population mean score for this test is 8

drek231 [11]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (96.06,103.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 85

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 100

Sample size, n = 30

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 11

95% Confidence interval:

$\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

$100 \pm 1.96(\frac{11}{\sqrt{30}} ) = 100 \pm 3.94= (96.06,103.94)$

(96.06,103.94) is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean test score.
