9 - 8x = 35

subtract 9 from both sides

-8x = 26

divide both sides by -8

x= -26/8

you can simplify this to -13/4

Here we are given an equation:

9-8x=35

we need to isolate x on the left side.

bring 9 to the right side by subtracting it from 35

-8x =35-9

-8x =26

divide both sides by -8

x=26/(-8)

x=-3.25

Rewrite in a form that does not use exponents

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

$\boxed{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the rules of logarithms is ...

log(a^b) = b·log(a)

So ...

$6\log_5{x^3}=6(3\log_5{x})=\bf{18}\log_5{x}$

You go to an arcade and purchase a card with game credits. After playing 5 games you have 33 credits left. You play 4 more games

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$y=-3x+48$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use slope-intercept form of equation to write our equation. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ , where m= Slope of the line, b= y-intercept.

To write the equation that represents the number of credits y on the cards after x games, we will find slope of our line.

We have been given that after playing 5 games we have 33 credits left. We play 4 more games and we have 21 credits left. So our points will be (5,33) and (9,21).

Let us substitute coordinates of our both given points in slope formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ,

$m=\frac{21-33}{9-5}$

$m=\frac{-12}{4}=-3$

Now let us substitute m=-3 and coordinates of point (5,33) in slope intercept form of equation to find y-intercept.

$33=-3\cdot 5+b$

$33=-15+b$

$33+15=b$

$48=b$

Upon substituting m=-3 and b=48 in slope-intercept form of an equation we will get,

$y=-3x+48$

Therefore, our desired equation will be $y=-3x+48$ .

Of 580580 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compa

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given (0.204;0.296).

b) We have 99% of confidence that the true population proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between (0.204;0.296).

c) No that's not true. Because the necessary assumptions and conditions for the confidence interval for the proportion are satisifed, so then we can use inferential statistics to interpret the interval to the population of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Data given and notation

n=580 represent the random sample taken

X represent the seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

$\hat p=0.25$ estimated proportion of seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

p= population proportion of seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified by the people

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.25 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{580}}=0.204$

$0.25 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{580}}=0.296$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.204;0.296).

Part b

We have 99% of confidence that the true population proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between (0.204;0.296).

Part c

A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold each year, to generalize. Is this criticism valid?

No that's not true. Because the necessary assumptions and conditions for the confidence interval for the proportion are satisifed, so then we can use inferential statistics to interpret the interval to the population of interest.
