It would be x= 2.5 because before anything you would plug in a number such as 2.5 in for x and subtract one. You wouldn't put it to the nine yet. So it would be 9^(2.5-1)=27. Then once you subtracted it would equal 9^1.5=27. So lastly take 9 to the 1.5 power or 9^(1.5) and you get 27=27.

$9^{x - 1} = 27 \\ln(9^{x - 1}) = ln(27) \\(x - 1)ln(9) = ln(27) \\x - 1 = \frac{ln(27)}{ln(9)} \\x = \frac{ln(27)}{ln(9)} + 1 \\x = 2.5$

Thhe answer is equal to A. x = 2.5.

a quarterback is sacked for a loss of 5 yards.On the next day his team loses 15 yards.Then the team gains 12 yards on the third

Veronika [31]

Assume it is first down and ten in this problem. When you lose 5 yards on the sack, you are 5 yards further away. So now, it is second and 15. Then, they lose another 15 yards, so it's now third and 30. The final play is that they gain 12 yards, meaning after all the plays it is fourth down and eighteen yards to go.

In math symbols, 0 is where the first down marker is. You start at -10.

First play, the sack: -10 - 5 = -15

Second play: -15 - 15 = -30

Third play: -30 + 12 = -18.

Looks like you have to punt on fourth down :)

Answer:

The test statistic is $z = 1.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are interested in determining whether or not the proportion of the student who experience anxiety during the exam is significantly more than 80%.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is 80%, that is:

$H_0: p = 0.8$
