Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Find the value of x:

OG and FO need to be equal first.

~Create an inequality

7x - 15 = 3x + 17

~Subtract 3x to both sides

7x - 15 - 3x = 3x + 17 - 3x

~Simplify

4x - 15 = 17

~Add 15 to both sides

4x - 15 + 15 = 17 + 15

~Simplify

4x = 32

~Divide 4 to both sides

4x/4 = 32/4

~Simplify

x = 8

------------------------------------------------

Substitute for the inequality:

7x - 15 = 3x + 17

7(8) - 15 = 3(8) + 17

56 - 15 = 24 + 17

41 = 41

------------------------------------------------

Add together:

41 + 41 = 82

------------------------------------------------

Answer:

$\large\boxed{Midpoint~is~42~units!}$

------------------------------------------------

O is the midpoint so both sides FO and OG need to equal each other.

3x + 17 = 7x - 15

Subtract 3x from both sides:

17 = 4x -15

Add 15 to both sides:

32 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 32/4

X = 8

Now you have the value of X, solve for the lengths:

FO = 3x +17 = 3(8) +17 = 24 +17 = 41

OG = 7x -15 = 7(8) -15 = 56-15 = 41

Total length would be 41 + 41 = 82

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{4t}-\frac{t+4}{10t^2}=\frac{5\left(10t^2\right)-4t\left(t+4\right)}{40t^3}=\frac{2t\left(25t-2\left(t+4\right)\right)}{40t^3}=\frac{\left(25t-2t-8\right)}{20t^2}=\frac{23t-8}{20t^2}$

A quality control technician works in a factory that produces computer monitors. Each day, she randomly selects monitors and tes

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 300

p = 5% = 0.05

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of dead pixels , x = 24

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: p = 0.05\\H_A: p > 0.05$

This is a one-tailed(right) test.

Formula:

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{24}{300} = 0.08$

$z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z = \displaystyle\frac{0.08-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}} = 2.384$

Now, we calculate the p-value from excel.

P-value = 0.00856

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.
