Marcie solved the following inequality and her work is shown below:. . −2(x − 5) − 12 ≤ 4 + 6(x + 3). −2x + 10 − 12 ≤ 4 + 6x + 1

8. −2x − 2 ≤ 6x + 22. −8x ≤ 24. x ≤ −3. . What mistake did Marcie make in solving the inequality?

The mistake which Marcie made in solving the equation was when she added 2 to 6x and 2 to 22 to make ≤ 24. x ≤ −3.

Adding 2 to 6x would make 6x + 2, therefore this is the mistake that Marcie made solving the inequality.

All steps that Marcie did are right, but she forgot to change sign in last step.

Consider the inequality

-2(x - 5) -12 \le 4 + 6(x + 3).

Then

-2x+10-12 \le 4 + 6x+18.

Group the numbers:

-2x-2 \le 6x+22.

Separate terms with x and without x in different sides:

-2x-6x \le 22+2.\\-8x\le 24.

The coefficient at x is -8 and it is negative, then dividing the inequality by -8 you have to change sign in opposite:

x\ge -3.

Answer: Marcie forgot to change sign in last step.

2. To estimate the mean age for a population of 4000 employees, a simple random sample of 40 employees is selected. a. Would you
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Size of the population, N = 4000

Size of the sample, n = 40

n/N = 40/4000 = 0.01

0.01 is less than 0.05 and hence we would not us the finite population correction factor in calculating the standard error of the mean.

b.

Population standard deviation is σ = 8.2

<u>So, the standard error of x’ using the finite population correction factor is give by</u>

σ(x’) = √[(N - n)/(N - 1)] x (sigma/√n)

σ(x’) = √[(4000 - 40)/(4000 - 1)] x (8.2/√40)

σ(x’) = 1.29

<u>Standard error of x’ without using the finite population correction factor is</u>

σ(x’) = σ/√n

σ(x’) = 8.2/√40 = 1.2965

<u>There is little difference between the two values of the standard error. So we can ignore the population correction factor.</u>

c.

Let the population mean be μ

Probability that the sample mean will be within =-2 of the population mean is

P(μ– 2 < x’ < μ + 2)

At x’ = μ – 2 , we have

z = (μ – 2 – μ)/1.2965

z = -1.54

at x’ = μ  + 2, we have

z = (μ + 2 – μ)/1.2965

z = 1.54

<u>So the required probability is </u>

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = p(-1.54< z < 1.54)

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = p(z < 1.54) – p(z < -1.54)

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = 0.9382 – 0.0618

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = 0.8764
