The equation is:

$114=\frac{p}{3}-3$

And

Total number of pages are 351

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to be formed by using the given information.

Let p be the total number of pages in the novel

Then

1/3rd of the p will pe:

$\frac{p}{3}$

Total pages read by John = 114

Then according to the statement

$114=\frac{p}{3}-3$

We can solve the equation to get the total pages of the novel

$114=\frac{p}{3}-3\\Adding\ 3\ on\ both\ sides\\114+3=\frac{p}{3}-3+3\\117=\frac{p}{3}\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\3*117 = \frac{p}{3}*3\\p=351$

The equation is:

$114=\frac{p}{3}-3$

And

Total number of pages are 351

10x - 15 = 12x - 101

GenaCL600 [577]

<span>-49 + -2x + 12x = 101 + -12x + 12x Combine like terms: -2x + 12x = 10x -49 + 10x ... 101 + 49 = 150 10x = 150 Divide each side by '10'. x = 15 Simplifying x = 15 </span><span>

A study was done to determine the average number of homes that a homeowner owns in his or her lifetime. For the 50 homeowners su

ipn [44]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 50 - 1 = 49

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 49 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.0096

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0096\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.1$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.1 - 1.1 = 4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.1 + 1.1 = 6.2.

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).
