Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x + 1.25) = 3.5 ← divide both sides by 2

x + 1.25 = 1.75 ( subtract 1.25 from both sides )

x = 0.5

Dividing first:

If we divide both sides by 2, we get

$x+1.25=1.75$

Subtracting 1.25 from both sides:

$x=0.5$

Distributing first:

The left hand side becomes

$2x+2.5=3.5$

Subtract 2.5 from both sides:

$2x=1$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x=0.5$

Need help with 8-9.

ANTONII [103]

So it is 5cm to 1m or 5cm to 1000cm
So the scale is the ratio which is 5:1000. this can be reduced to 1:200

10. if the room is 15cm on one side I can say that the ratio to actual size is 15/x. and scale is 1/200 so:
15/x = 1/200
3000 = x is one side

other side:
20/x = 1/200
4000 = x

Sample annual salaries (in thousands of dollars) for employees at a company are listed. 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45 (

Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) Data given: 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45

$\bar X = 41.538$

$s = 5.317$

b) 44.1, 37.8, 50.4, 53.55, 40.95, 44.1, 37.8, 50.4 ,34.65, 40.95, 44.1, 47.25

$\bar X = 43.615$

$s= 5.583$

c) 3.5, 3, 4, 4.25, 3.25, 3.25, 3.5, 3, 4, 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75

$\bar X= 3.462$

$s = 0.443$

d) As we can see, the average of part b is 1.05 times the average of part a (1.05 * 41.538 = 43.615) and the average of part c is equal to the average obtained in part a divided by 12 (41.538 / 12 = 3.462).

And that happens because we create linear transformations for the parts b and c and the linear transformation affects the mean.

And you have the same interpretation for the deviation, it is affected by the linear transformation as the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the following formulas for the mean and standard deviation:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

Part a

Data given: 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45

And if we calculate the mean we got:

$\bar X = 41.538$

$s = 5.317$

Part b

For this case we know that each value present a 5% of rise so we just need to multiply each value bu 1.05 and we have this new dataset:

44.1, 37.8, 50.4, 53.55, 40.95, 44.1, 37.8, 50.4 ,34.65, 40.95, 44.1, 47.25

And if we calculate the new mean and deviation we got:

$\bar X = 43.615$

$s= 5.583$

Part c

The new dataset would be each value divided by 12 so we have:

3.5, 3, 4, 4.25, 3.25, 3.25, 3.5, 3, 4, 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75

And the new mean and deviation would be:

$\bar X= 3.462$

$s = 0.443$

Part d

As we can see, the average of part b is 1.05 times the average of part a (1.05 * 41.538 = 43.615) and the average of part c is equal to the average obtained in part a divided by 12 (41.538 / 12 = 3,462).

And that happens because we create linear transformations for the parts b and c and the linear transformation affects the mean.

And you have the same interpretation for the deviation, it is affected by the linear transformation as the mean.

If you have a 12 side die and a 6 side die what is the probrability it lands on 5

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

For the 12 sided one it would be 1/12
