Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-5X - 16 = 8x - 3

add 5x on both sides

⇒ -5X - 16+5x= 8x -3 + 5x

⇒ -16 = 13x -3

add 3 on both sides

⇒-16 + 3 = 13x -3 +3

⇒ -13 = 13x

divide both sides by 13

⇒ -13/13 =13x/13

∴ -1 = x

[4H-16] A bottle of orange juice is being filled by machine. Amount dispensed by the machine is known to be approximately normal

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:1.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mean $\mu =10 ounces$

standard deviation $\sigma =m ounces$

For bottles to be filled over 12 ounces i.e. area right to the bell curve for z score

and area left side of the z score is 1-0.1=0.9

so value close to 0.9 in standard normal curve which is 0.8997

z score corresponding to 0.8997 is 1.28

also z score for 12 ounce

$z=\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }$

$z=\frac{12-10}{m}$

$1.28=\frac{2}{m}$

$m=\frac{2}{1.28}$

$m=1.5625$
