Answer:

X = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we can gather some pretty important information. For starters, "three times a number x" would give us 3x. Secondly, "increased by 4" would give us +4. Lastly, "equal to five times x" would be = 5x. If we put this all together we have the following Algebraic Equation.

$3x+4 = 5x$

Now we can start solving the equation.

$3x+4 = 5x$

$4 = 2x$

$2 = x$

So we can see that the value of x in this equation is 2.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

3x+4=5x
4=5x-3x
4=2x
X=2

Answer:

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 5.6 \ pounds/inch^2$

The sample size is n = 160

The sample mean is $\= x = 5.7 \ pounds/ inch^2$

The variance is $\sigma ^2 = 0.25$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 5.6$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu > 5.6$

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma ^2 }$

=> $\sigma = \sqrt{0.25 }$

=> $\sigma = 0.5$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$

=> $z = \frac{5.7 - 5.6 }{ \frac{0.5 }{\sqrt{ 160 } } }$

=> $z = 2.53$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to 2.53 is

$p-value = P(Z > 2.53 ) =0.0057$

From the value obtained we see that the $p-value < \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the believe that the valve performs above the specifications is true

Karolina [17]

Answer:

~ is for negation

^ is for "and"

v is for "or"

=> for "if then"

<=> for "if and only if"

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) ~P (negation of P)

I didn't buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

(b) P v Q (P is in disjunction Q)

I have either bought a lottery ticket this weekend or won the million dollar jackpot.

I won the million dollar jackpot because I bought a lottery ticket this weekend.

(d) P ^ Q (P is in conjunction with Q)

I bought a lottery ticket this weekend, and I won the million dollar jackpot.

(e) P <=> Q (P and Q are dependent on each other)

If only I had bought a lottery ticket this weekend, I would have won the million dollar jackpot.

(f) ~P => ~Q (negation of Q is a consequence of negation of P)

I didn't win the million dollar jackpot because I didn't buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

(g) ~P ^ ~Q (negation of P is in conjunction with negation of Q)

I neither bought a lottery ticket this weekend nor won the million dollar jackpot.

(h) ~P v (P ^ Q)

This is logically equivalent to (~P v P) ^ (~P v Q) (negation of P is in disjunction with P, and also with disjunction with Q), and can be best expressed as:

It didn't matter that I bought a jackpot ticket or not, I won the million dollar jackpot.
