Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}=3\dfrac{13}{24}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to the fraction:

3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{3\cdot8+1}{8}=\dfrac{25}{8}

METHOD 1:

x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\\text{the common denominator is 24}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 24}\\\\24x-(3)(25)=(2)(5)\\\\24x-75=10\qquad\text{add 75 to both sides}\\\\24x=85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 24}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}}

METHOD 2:

x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{add}\ 3\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{to oboth sides}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{12}+3\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{5\cdot2}{12\cdot2}+3\dfrac{1\cdot3}{8\cdot3}\\\\x=\dfrac{10}{24}+3\dfrac{3}{24}\\\\x=3\dfrac{10+3}{24}\\\\\boxed{x=3\dfrac{13}{24}}

1. First do 18,000 times .20 to get 3,600. Next minus 18,000 by 3,600 and you get $14,400 which is the answer.

2. First do 125 times .15 to get 18.75. Next minus 125 minus 18.75 to get 106.25. Then you do 106.25 times .05 to get 5.31. Finally, add 5.31 to to 106.25 and you get $111.56.

3. 17/39 as a decimal is .4358

4. First you do 45 times .06 to get 2.7. Finally you add 2.7 back onto 45 to get $47.7

The branch manager of a clothing store is analyzing the average total bill of sale for his location. the national manager has co
nadya68 [22]

Using the Central Limit Theorem, the branch manager can be 95% certain that the sample mean will fall within $1.034 of the mean.

<h3>What does the Central Limit Theorem state?</h3>

  • It states that the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.
  • By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the sample means fall within 2 standard errors of the mean.

In this problem, we have that the standard deviation and the sample size are given as follows:

\sigma = 10.34, n = 400

Hence the standard error is given by:

[tex]s = \frac{10.34}{\sqrt{400}} = 0.517.

Two standard errors is represented by:

2 x 0.517 = $1.034.

Hence, the branch manager can be 95% certain that the sample mean will fall within $1.034 of the mean.
