X = - 21/4

2/3x - 4 1/2 = - 8
2/3x = - 8 + 4 1/2

- 8 + 4 = - 4. Then do - 4 + 1/2 = - 3 1/2

2/3x = - 3 1/2

- 3 1/2 is the same as = - 7/2

2/3x = - 7/2

Flip the coefficient on the variable and multiply both sides by it. 

(3/2)(2/3)x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 21/4

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.
valina [46]

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.075 = 0.925, so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that \sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}

0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2

n = 178.8

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

The probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube 2/6. Jennifer rolls a number cube 60 times how many times shoul
Savatey [412]

Answer:

20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube:

Required outcome = (1, 2)

Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 2 /6

= 1/3

Hence, if number cube is rolled 60 times, number of times a number less than 3 is expected :

(Probability of obtaining a number less than 3 in one roll × number of rolls)

= (1 / 3) × 60

= 60 / 3

= 20 times

Find the simple interest rate needed in order for an investment of $2000 to grow to an account of $5000 in 3 years
Nutka1998 [239]

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$5000\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill&\$2000\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &3 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 5000=2000(1+r3)\implies \cfrac{5000}{2000}=1+3r\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=1+3r \\\\\\ 5=2+6r\implies 3=6r\implies \cfrac{3}{6}=r\implies 0.5=r\implies \stackrel{\textit{converting to percent}}{0.5\cdot 100\implies 50\%}
