Answer:

  2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. Then its reciprocal (the reciprocal of the original number) is 1/x

  1/2 + 1/x . . . . . 1/2 added to the reciprocal of a number

  2/x -1 . . . . . . . 1 less than twice the reciprocal of the original number

We want these expressions to be equal:

  \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{2}{x}-1\\\\\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{1}{x}\qquad\text{add 1-(1/x)}\\\\x=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{multiply by 2x/3}

The original number is 2/3.

Answer:

n = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number with n.

Then:  reciprocal of this numer is 1/n.

1/2 added to this reciprocal comes to 1/n + 1/2, and this is equal to

2(1/n) - 1.

We must simplify this equation and solve for n:

Use the LCD 2n:

2 + n = 4 - 1, or 2 + n = 3, or n = 1.

Answer:

The first option is correct, 12/30 and 25/30

Step-by-step explanation:

To get common denominators, you need to find the GFC (greatest common factor) of 5 and 6, which is 30. Then you would need to make the fractions equal the same as the original fractions, by multiplying.

2/5 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 6 times more than 5. so this means you multiply 2 by 6 to get 12. 12/30

5/6 = ?/30 <- you can see that 30 is 5 times more than 6. so this means you multiply 5 by 5 to get 25. 25/30

Incomes in a certain town are strongly right-skewed with mean $36,000 and standard deviation $7000. a random sample of 75 househ
Svet_ta [14]
Since the sample is greater than 10, we can approximate this binomial problem with a normal distribution.

First, calculate the z-score:

z = (x - μ) / σ = (37000 - 36000) / 7000 = 0.143

The probability P(x > 37000$) = 1 - P(<span>x < 37000$), 
therefore we need to look up at a normal distribution table in order to find 
P(z < 0.143) = 0.55567 
And 
</span>P(x > 37000$) = 1 - <span>0.55567 = 0.44433

Hence, there is a 44.4% probability that </span><span>the sample mean is greater than $37,000.</span>
