<span>x ≤ -2, where x must be less (hence the <'s wider/open side pointing to -2 while the smaller/closed side is pointing at the x. This indicates that -2 is greater than x, thus we have to find a number less than -2 to solve for x.), or equal to (hence the underbar [ _ ] that means equivalent) -2. 

A) is incorrect because it's -2, and it is a solution because it is equivalent and is  -2. -2 = -2. 

B) is incorrect because -2.45 is farther from 0 than -2 is, thus making -2.45 less than -2. It's a solution.

C) is incorrect because -8 is farther from 0 than -2 is, so, like B, it's less than -2. Therefore it's a solution. Note that it's like the opposite with negative numbers. The greater numbers or the numbers farther from 0 equals the lesser numbers and the lesser numbers/ numbers closer to 0 equal the greater numbers. Say for instance, 100 is usually greater than 10 correct? In negative integers -100 is smaller than -10 given that -100 way farther from 0 compared to -10. 

D) -1.76 is the answer, because it is closer to 0 than -2 is, thus the greater number. X cannot be higher than -2. So this is not a solution. </span>

What is the mean of the values in the stem-and-leaf plot? Enter your answer in the box. also guess what flag that is
Vesnalui [34]
Mean is the average....so you add all the numbers and then divide by how many numbers there were.

12 + 13 + 15 + 28 + 28 +30 + 42 = 168

since there are 7 numbers, you divide 168 by 7.

168/7 = 24

Therefore, 24 is the mean.

The flag is Japan I believe.

Hope this helps!

harriet is cultivating a strain of bacteria has doubled by the end of every second hour. how many bacteria will harriet have in
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

n2^3 bacteria, n being the initial population.

Step-by-step explanation:

compound growth equation: P=n2^t

P is total population

n is initial population

t is time

since it doubles every second hour, and there are 6 hours

6hours/2hours= doubles 3 times, thats why t=3.

Jessica knows that the adult population gets, on average, eight hours of sleep each night. A hypothesis test can help her see if
Nitella [24]

Answer:

-4.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population mean (pm) = 8 hours

Sample mean (sm) = 6.9 hours

Number of observations (n) = 101 students

Sample standard deviation (sd) = 2.5

Using the t-statistic formula :

[(sm - pm) / (sd/√n)]

Hence,

[(6.9 - 8) / (2.5/√101)]

[(-1.1) / (2.5/10.05)]

-1.1 / 0.2487562

= −4.422

The test statistic = - 4.42 to the nearest hundredth.
