Answer:

x = .98

Step-by-step explanation:

-.5(17x - 24) = 3.4x - 6 + 6.3x

-8.5x + 12 = 9.7x - 6

-18.2x = -18

18.2x = 18

x = .98

How can you represent all of the solutions to systems of inequalities?

Dimas [21]

Answer:A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) . The point is part of the solution. An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<). The point is not part of the solution. Solving" systems of linear inequalities means "graphing each individual inequality, and then finding the overlaps of the various solutions". So I graph each inequality, and then find the overlapping portions of the solution regions.Step 1: Line up the equations so that the variables are lined up vertically. Step 2: Choose the easiest variable to eliminate and multiply both equations by different numbers so that the coefficients of that variable are the same. Step 3: Subtract the two equations. Step 4: Solve the one variable system.

The volumes of two cubes are 32ft^3 and 1372ft^3

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1) 8 : 343

2) 42.875 or 42 ⅞

3) 4 : 49

4) 16ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cube: s³

Surface area of cube: 6s²

_____________________

32ft^3 and 1372ft^3 →

32 : 1372 = 8 : 343

343 / 8 = 42 ⅞ = 42.875

s³ → 6s²

s³ = 8, s = 2, s² = 4.

s³ = 343, s = 7, s² = 49.

These are proportional so it is already in the simplest ratio so it is not necessary to multiply by 6.

s³ → 8 : 343

6s² → 4 : 49

(4 / 49) × 196ft² = 16ft²

A government report gives a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of welfare recipients who have been receiving welfare ben

juin [17]

Answer:

The estimation for the proportion for this case is $\hat p = 0.21$

And we know that the 99% confidence interval is given by:

$0.21 \pm 0.045$

So then the margin of error at 99% of confidence is 0.045, and the margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we decrease the confidence level this margin of error can't be higher than 0.045 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

d. 21% ± 4.8%

Because if the z value decrease from 2.58 to 1.96 not makes sense that the margin of error increase from 0.045(4.5%) to 0.048(4.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.
