Answer: The value of x is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x/3-6=9 is a linear equation, where x/3 is the same as one-third of x.

Thus it is easily simplified as such:

x/3-6=9

Collect like terms

x/3 = 9 + 6

x/3 = 15

i.e (1/3) of X = 15

To get the value of x, cross multiply

x = 3 x 15

x = 45

Thus, the value of x is 45

What is the radius if the Diameter 10.5?<br> r = 8.5<br> r = 5.25<br> r = 12.5<br> r = 21

nataly862011 [7]

If the diameter is 10.5 then the radius is 5.25.
This is because the radius of a diameter is half the diameter.

So

10.5/2
= 5.25

Therefore the radius is 5.25

Suppose the sediment density (g/cm3 ) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is known to have a mean of 2.80 and

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

0.918 is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2.80

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.85

Sample size,n = 35

We are given that the distribution of sediment density is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Standard error due to sampling:

$=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.85}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.1437$

P(sample average sediment density is at most 3.00)

$P( x \leq 3.00) = P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{3.00 - 2.80}{0.1437}) = P(z \leq 1.3917)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x \leq 3.00) = 0.918$

0.918 is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00
