The option that explains Sarita's mistake is Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification.
<h3>What was Sarita's mistake?</h3>
The given equation is: 5(x - 3) + 7(x + 4) = 73
In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:
1. Apply the Distributive property:
5x - 15 + 7x + 28 = 73
2. Add similar terms together:
12x + 13 = 73
3. Combine similar terms:
12x = 73 - 13
4. Add similar terms
12x = 60
5. Divide both sides of the equation by 12
x = 60 / 12
x = 5
In order to verify the answer, substitute for x in the given equation :
5(5 - 3) + 7(5 + 4) = 73
5(2) + 7(9) = 73
10 + 63 = 73
73 = 73

Answer: The mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
For 370 parts per million = 7% = 0.07
For 440 parts per million = 10% = 0.10
For 550 parts per million = 49% = 0.49
For 670 parts per million = 34% = 0.34
So, Mean of the carbon dioxide atmosphere for these trees would be
![E[x]=370\times 0.07+440\times 0.1+550\times 0.49+670\times 0.34=567.2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Bx%5D%3D370%5Ctimes%200.07%2B440%5Ctimes%200.1%2B550%5Ctimes%200.49%2B670%5Ctimes%200.34%3D567.2)
And
![E[x^2]=370^2\times 0.07+440^2\times 0.1+550^2\times 0.49+670^2\times 0.34=329794](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Bx%5E2%5D%3D370%5E2%5Ctimes%200.07%2B440%5E2%5Ctimes%200.1%2B550%5E2%5Ctimes%200.49%2B670%5E2%5Ctimes%200.34%3D329794)
So, Variance would be
![Var\ x=E[x^2]-E[x]^2=329794-567.2^2=8078.16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Var%5C%20x%3DE%5Bx%5E2%5D-E%5Bx%5D%5E2%3D329794-567.2%5E2%3D8078.16)
So, the standard deviation would be

Hence, the mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.
Answer:
D. None of the choices are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
If <em>B</em> is the midpoint of AC, then that means that AB is congruent to BC. Because this is true, you can set 8x + 4 and 10x - 8 equal.
8x + 4 = 10x - 8
Now just solve for x. Subtract 8x from both sides and add 8 to both sides.
4 = 2x - 8
12 = 2x
Then divide by 2.
6 = x
Another way to do this problem is to set up the same equation, but instead of solving it, plug in answer choices A, B, and C independently of each other. Then simplify to see if those are right. You'll find out that none of them are.
