Write an algebraic expression for the word phrase 9 less than half a number

1 answer:

5 0

1/2x -9, you take half of x so multiply 1/2 times x then you subtract the 9 after due to PEMDAS ( parentheses, exponents, multiplication & division, Add & Subtract) you follow the order of operation starting with Parentheses and ending with adding or subtracting

The sum of 4 consecutive even numbers is 36. What is the first number in this sequence?

sashaice [31]

Answer:

the first number in this sequence is 6....

Step-by-step explanation:

First number = x

2nd number = x+2

3rd consecutive even number = x+4

4th consecutive even number = x+6

Therefore,

By adding these numbers:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6= 36

Add the like terms:

4x+12=36

Combine the constants:

4x=36-12

4x=24

Divide both the terms by 4

4x/4 = 24/4

x= 6

Thus the first number in this sequence is 6....

Answer:

C. z = 2.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the test statistic for a test for the diference between proportions.

The sample 1 (year 1995), of size n1=4276 has a proportion of p1=0.384.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=1642/4276=0.384$

The sample 2 (year 2010), of size n2=3908 has a proportion of p2=0.3621.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=1415/3908=0.3621$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0219.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.384-0.3621=0.0219$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{1642+1415}{4276+3908}=\dfrac{3057}{8184}=0.3735$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3735*0.6265}{4276}+\dfrac{0.3735*0.6265}{3908}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00005+0.00006}=\sqrt{0.00011}=0.0107$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0219-0}{0.0107}=\dfrac{0.0219}{0.0107}=2.05$

z=2.05
