X-the number

16 + 2x = -24    |subtract 16 from both sides

2x = -40      |divide both sides by 2

<u>x = -20</u>

Answer: <em>The number is -24</em>

Each DVD storage case is about 1/5 inch thick. What will be the height in simplest form of 12 cases sold together?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Height of the 12 cases will be = 2\frac{2}{5} inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thickness of each DVD storage case = \frac{1}{5} inches

Let number of DVD storage cases sold = x

Therefore, the height of cases sold will be represented by the expression  \frac{x}{5}

If the number of cases sold x = 12

So the height of the cases sold will be = \frac{12}{5} inches

                                                                = 2\frac{2}{5} inches

Therefore, the answer is 2\frac{2}{5} inches.

A catering company provides packages for weddings and for showers. The cost per person for small groups
Tomtit [17]

Using the <em>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</em>, it is found that the probability the mean cost of the weddings is more than the mean cost of the showers is of 0.9665.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.
  • When two variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard error is the square root of the sum of the variances.

<h3>What is the mean and the standard error of the distribution of differences?</h3>

For each sample, they are given by:

\mu_W = 82.3, s_W = \frac{18.2}{\sqrt{9}} = 6.0667

\mu_S = 65, s_S = \frac{17.73}{\sqrt{6}} = 7.2382

For the distribution of differences, we have that:

\mu = \mu_W - \mu_S = 82.3 - 65 = 17.3

s = \sqrt{s_W^2 + s_S^2} = \sqrt{6.0667^2 + 7.2382^2} = 9.4444

The probability the mean cost of the weddings is more than the mean cost of the showers is P(X > 0), that is, <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0 - 17.3}{9.4444}

Z = -1.83

Z = -1.83 has a p-value of 0.0335.

1 - 0.0335 = 0.9665.

The graph for the equation y=-2x+1 is shown below.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y=-2x+1 and given another equation y=mx+b in order for us to have no solution we must guarantee that both lines do not intersect. Recall that m is the slope of the second equation and b the y-intercept. To guarantee that both lines don't intersect, they must be parallel. To have this result, we must have that they have the same slope but different y intercept. That is take m = -2 and b any value different to +1. For example, the b = 6. So

y = -2x+6 = -2(x-3) is another equation that gives no solution to the system.
