Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the 8 from both sides

5x = -10

And divide 5 from both sides

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

when solving an equation you want to get the variable by itself, this is a 2 step equation so it will take 2 steps to solve, the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides, you do this because it is the opposite function of what the original equation says, so therefore you are sort of reversing the equation until you get the variable by itself. so when you subtract 8 you get 5x = -10 the next step is to divide both sides by 5 in order to separate 5 from x after you do this you have x by its self and you get x = -2

8+5x = -2

- 8 -8

5x=-10

Answer: 6 or -6

hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say n the number

$\dfrac{2}{3} *n^2-7=17\\\Longrightarrow\ \dfrac{2}{3} *n^2=24\\\Longrightarrow\ n^2=\dfrac{3*24}{2}\\\Longrightarrow\ n^2=36\\\Longrightarrow\ (n-6)(n+6)=0\\\\n=6\ or\ n=-6\\$

An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by th

butalik [34]

Answer:

a) A sample size of 5615 is needed.

b) 0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

99.5% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.005$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975$ , so $Z = 2.81$ .

(a) Past studies suggest that this proportion will be about 0.2. Find the sample size needed if the margin of the error of the confidence interval is to be about 0.015.

This is n for which M = 0.015.

We have that $\pi = 0.2$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.015 = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{n}}$

$0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015})^{2}$

$n = 5615$

A sample size of 5615 is needed.

(b) Using the sample size above, when the sample is actually contacted, 12% of the sample say they are not satisfied. What is the margin of the error of the confidence interval?

Now $\pi = 0.12, n = 5615$ .

We have to find M.

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$M = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.12*0.88}{5615}}$

$M = 0.012$
