Answer:
a)False: In a sample of 100 men who are heavy smokers, exactly 24 of them will contract lung cancer.
b)True: In a sample of 100 men who are heavy smokers, the number who will contract lung cancer is likely to be close to 24.
c)True: As more and more heavy-smoking men are sampled, the proportion who contract lung cancer will approach 0.24. Circle one: TRUE FALSE
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve
3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
| x - 2 | = 4
The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 6
OR
- (x - 2) = 4
- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 2
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6
For 1 - 12y < 3y+1; y > 15
For 2 - 6y > 4 + 4y; y < -0.2
The given inequalities are:
1 - 12y < 3y + 1
2 - 6y > 4 + 4y
For 1 - 12y < 3y + 1:
1 - 12y < 3y + 1
Collect like terms
-12y - 3y < 1 - 1
-15y < 0
Multiply both sides by -1
-1(-15y) > 0(-y)
15y > 0
Divide both sides by 15
y > 0/15
y > 15
For 2 - 6y > 4 + 4y
Collect like terms
-6y - 4y > 4 - 2
-10y > 2
Multiply both sides by -1
-1(-10y) < 2(-1)
10y < -2
y < -2/10
y < -0.2
