2/3x - 1/2 = 1/3 + 5/6x....multiply the entire equation by the common denominator of 6...this will get rid of the fractions.

6(2/3x - 1/2) = 6(1/3 + 5/6x) =
4x - 3 = 2 + 5x...subtract 5x from both sides
4x - 5x - 3 = 2...add 3 to both sides
4x - 5x = 2 + 3...combine terms
-x = 5...multiply by -1 to make x positive
x = -5

Answer:

$\large\boxed{D.\ -\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=m_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2,\ \text{then}\\\\l\ ||\ k\iff m_2=m_1\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\-------------------\\\\\text{We have the slope of given line a:}\ m_1=3.\ \text{Therefore the slope of a line b}\\\text{perpendicular to a is: }\\\\m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{3}$

A study measured the speeds at which cars pass through a checkpoint. Assume the speeds are normally distributed such that the av

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that the next car will be traveling less than 59 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 61, \sigma = 4$
