Simplify it into what?
Months = 42
Days = 1277
1. A debit signifies something owed. So, that means the answer is negative.
-$40
2. A deposit means you are gaining money. So, the answer is positive.
+$225
3. Above sea level signifies to us it is above zero. So, the answer is positive.
+14000 feet
(Keep in mind, whenever they say above, it is always positive.)
4. The temperature increased, meaning that it is positive.
+40°F
5. Withdrawl implies losing money. So, the answer is negative.
-$225
6. Below sea level implies it is below zero. So, the answer is negative.
-14000 feet
A. The point estimate of μ1 − μ2 is calculated using the value of x1 - x2, therefore:
μ1 − μ2 = x1 – x2 =
7.82 – 5.99
μ1 − μ2 = 1.83
B. The formula for
confidence interval is given as:
Confidence interval
= (x1 –x2) ± z σ
where z is a value
taken from the standard distribution tables at 99% confidence interval, z =
2.58
and σ is calculated
using the formula:
σ = sqrt [(σ1^2 /
n1) + (σ2^2 / n2)]
σ = sqrt [(2.35^2 /
18) + (3.17^2 / 15)]
σ = 0.988297
Going back to the
confidence interval:
Confidence interval
= 1.83 ± (2.58) (0.988297)
Confidence interval
= 1.83 ± 2.55
Confidence interval
= -0.72, 4.38
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Eliminate parentheses:
0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x
22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x
12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9
__
2) Eliminate parentheses:
-16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8
3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2

<em>Comments on the solutions</em>
The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...
variable term = constant
We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.
200 times. Because 1000 divided of 5 is 200. You could divide it using the algorithm.
