Mars2501 [29]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is:

The student should have switched the direction of the inequality sign to get –5> x for a final answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The students has made a mistake in the 3rd step.

We know that when we multiply or divide any negative number on both sides of the inequality, the sign of inequality  reverse its direction.

In step 3 the student divided 25 by -5 but did not  switch direction of the inequality sign.

Therefore the correct option is: The student should have switched the direction of the inequality sign to get –5> x for a final answer

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Average of 1,200 dollars and a standard deviation of 900 dollars.

This means that \mu = 1200, \sigma = 900

Sample of 10.

This means that n = 10, s = \frac{900}{\sqrt{10}} = 284.6

The sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.

Readme [11.4K]
At the end of the directions, it talks about parallel, perpendicular, or neither. When x=y, the lines are perpendicular and have infinite solutions. When they are parallel, there is no solution. You'll get an answer like 4=5. Neither means there is only one answer, and you will get one x and one y.
