Solve 7x - 2(x + 1) = 6x + 14 A) -12 B) 12 C) -16 D) 16

1 answer:

3 0

7x - 2(x + 1) = 6x + 14
7x - 2x - 2 = 6x + 14
5x - 2 = 6x + 14
6x - 5x = -2 - 14
x = -16

answer
C) -16

A recipe for bran muffins calls for 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes. The recipe yields 9 muffins. How much bran flakes should be used

kolbaska11 [484]

10/3 bran flakes can make a dozen muffins

A recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes

The recipe can make 9 muffins

Let's calculate the amount of bran flakes it will take to make 1 muffin

5/2 = 9

x= 1

cross multiply

9x= 5/2

x= 5/18

A dozen is 12, the number of bran flakes to make a dozen can be calculated as follows

5/18= 1

y= 12

cross multiply

y= 5/18 × 12

y= 10/3

Hence it will take 10/3 to make a dozen muffins

A simple random sample of items resulted in a sample mean of . The population standard deviation is . a. Compute the confidence

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

(a): The 95% confidence interval is (46.4, 53.6)

(b): The 95% confidence interval is (47.9, 52.1)

(c): Larger sample gives a smaller margin of error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 30$ -- sample size

$\bar x = 50$ -- sample mean

$\sigma = 10$ --- sample standard deviation

Solving (a): The confidence interval of the population mean

Calculate the standard error

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{10}{\sqrt {30}}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{10}{5.478}$

$\sigma_x = 1.825$

The 95% confidence interval for the z value is:

$z = 1.960$

Calculate margin of error (E)

$E = z * \sigma_x$

$E = 1.960 * 1.825$

$E = 3.577$

The confidence bound is:

$Lower = \bar x - E$

$Lower = 50 - 3.577$

$Lower = 46.423$

$Lower = 46.4$ --- approximated

$Upper = \bar x + E$

$Upper = 50 + 3.577$

$Upper = 53.577$

$Upper = 53.6$ --- approximated

So, the 95% confidence interval is (46.4, 53.6)

Solving (b): The confidence interval of the population mean if mean = 90

First, calculate the standard error of the mean

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{10}{\sqrt {90}}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{10}{9.49}$

$\sigma_x = 1.054$

The 95% confidence interval for the z value is:

$z = 1.960$

Calculate margin of error (E)

$E = z * \sigma_x$

$E = 1.960 * 1.054$

$E = 2.06584$

The confidence bound is:

$Lower = \bar x - E$

$Lower = 50 - 2.06584$

$Lower = 47.93416$

$Lower = 47.9$ --- approximated

$Upper = \bar x + E$

$Upper = 50 + 2.06584$

$Upper = 52.06584$

$Upper = 52.1$ --- approximated

So, the 95% confidence interval is (47.9, 52.1)

Solving (c): Effect of larger sample size on margin of error

In (a), we have:

$n = 30$ $E = 3.577$

In (b), we have:

$n = 90$ $E = 2.06584$

Notice that the margin of error decreases when the sample size increases.
