The probability of an event can help make predictions by knowing the chance of something happening and using your knowledge to determine the probability of choosing for example blue on a spinner out of 6 with 4 blues. there is 4 blues and 2 red so you predict it will be on red because there is more of it
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1
</u>
Divide your confidence interval by 2. In this case the confidence is 95% = 0.095, so 0.095/2 = 0.0475
<u>Step 2
</u>
Use either a z-score table or a computer to find the closest z-score for 0.0475 and you will find this value is 1.96
<u>Step 3
</u>
Divide the margin error by 2. In this case, the margin error is 2%. When dividing this figure by 2, we get 1% = 0.01
<u>Step 4
</u>
Divide the number obtained in Step 2 by the number obtained in Step 3 and square it
1.96/0.01 = 196 and 196 squared is 38,416
<u>Step 5
</u>
As we do not now a proportion of people that purchase on line, we must assume this value is 50% = 0.5. Square this number and you get 0.25
<u>Step 6
</u>
Multiply the number obtained in Step 5 by the number obtained in Step 4, round it to the nearest integer and this is an appropriate size of the sample.
38,416*0.25 = 9,604

The equation given in the question has one unknown variable in the form of "x" and only one equation is required to find the value of the unknown variable. So it is absolutely possible to find the exact value of "x".
6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14
-18 - 6x - 2x = 14
-18 - 8x = 14
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 we get
8x + 18 = - 14
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
4x + 9 = - 7
4x = - 7 - 9
4x = - 16
x = - 16/4
= - 4
So the value of "x" comes out to be equal to - 4. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
