-1/5(x-4)=-2
(Distribute -1/5)
-1/5x + 4/5 = -2
(-4/5 from both sides)
-1/5x = -2 4/5
(Divide both sides by -1/5)
x = 14

Answer:

the value of x is, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

Given the equation:

\frac{-1}{5}(x-4) = -2

Multiply both sides by 5 we have;

-1(x-4) = -10

Apply the distributive property:

-x + 4 = -10

Subtract 4 from both sides we have;

-x = -14

Multiply both sides by -1 we have;

x = 14

Therefore, the value of x is, 14

An analyst for a large credit card company is going to conduct a survey of customers to examine their household characteristics.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

We can conclude that the value of 1732 is a statistic who represent the sample selected. And the value of 1622 represent the population mean from all the customers with the previous data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A statistic or sample statistic "is any quantity computed from values in a sample", for example the sample mean, sample proportion and standard deviation

A parameter is "any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it".

Solution to the problem

For this case the analyst knows that from previous records that the mean for all the customers (that represent the population of interest) is \mu = 1622

He have a random sample of n =500 customers from the previous month and he knows that 1732 represent the sample mean for the selected customers calculated from the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{500} X_i}{500}= 1732

So on this case we can conclude that the value of 1732 is a statistic who represent the sample selected. And the value of 1622 represent the population mean from all the customers with the previous data.
