Answer:

x = -2/3; x = 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x 2 - 11x - 10 = 0

Use the 'ac' method:

6 * -10 = -60. We need 2 numbers whose product is -60 and whose sum is -11.

That would be -15 and +4. So we write:

6x^2 - 15x + 4x - 10 = 0 Factor by grouping:

3x(2x - 5) + 2(2x - 5) = 0

(3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 0

x = -2/3; x = 5/2.

The largest z-score available in most tables is 2.99, which corresponds to a probability of 99.86%. A fair coin is

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The number of heads observed is 121.14 heads

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the z-score of a proportion is given as follows;

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{pq}{n}}}$

Where:

${\hat{p}$ = Sample proportion

p = Population success proportion = 0.5

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

n = Number in of observation = 200

z = 2.99

Hence, we have;

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-0.5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5 \times 0.5}{200}}} = 2.99$

Therefore;

${\hat{p}-0.5}{} = 2.99 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.5 \times 0.5}{200}} = 2.99 \times\dfrac{\sqrt{2} }{40}$

${\hat{p}$ = 0.6057

$Whereby \ \hat p = \dfrac{Number \ of \ heads}{Number \ of \ observation} = \dfrac{Number \ of \ heads}{200} = 0.6057$

∴ The number of heads observed = 200 × 0.6057 = 121.14 heads.

The sum of a number 1/6 of that number 2 1/2 of that number and seven is 12 1/2 find the number

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the number

x + 1/6x + 2 1/2x + 7 = 12 1/2

3 + (1/6 + 1/2)x = 12 1/2 - 7

3 + (1/6 + 3/6)x = 5 1/2

3 2/3x = 5 1/2

x = (11/2) / (11/3)

x = 11 / 2 * 3 / 11

x = 3/2

x = 1 1/2
