Answer: x = 4.2

Explanation: If we're asked to solve for <em>x</em> in the equation x + 1.5 = 7.5, what we're really being asked to do is get <em>x</em> by itself on one side of the equation.

So if we take a look at the left side of our equation, notice that 1.5 is being added to <em>x</em> so in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we must subtract 1.5 from the left side of the equation. Now remember your first rule of solving equations. If we subtract 1.5 from the left side of the equation, we must also subtract 1.5 from the right side of the equation.

So on the left side our +1.5 and -1.5 cancel out and we're simply left with <em>x</em>. On the right side of the equation,

5.7 - 1.5 simplifies to 4.2 so our answer is <em>x = 4.2</em>.

The nice thing about solving equations is that you can always check your answer by plugging it back in to the original equation.

So here, we're gonna plug a 4.2 back in for <em>x</em> in the original equation and we get (4.2) + 1.5 = 5.7.

Since 4.2 + 1.5 = 5.7 is a true statement, our answer checks and we know that it's right.

Consider the following statements:
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

b. I and II are both false.

Step-by-step explanation:

I. For a significance level, the two tailed hypothesis is not always accurate than the one tailed hypothesis test. The hypothesis testing is carried to find out the correctness of a claim of a population parameter. The two tail hypothesis test which used both positive and negative tails of the distribution is not always more accurate than one tailed test.

II. The process of the point estimation involves the utilization of the values of a statistic which is obtained from the sample data to obtain the best estimate of a corresponding unknown parameter in the given population.

Hence, both the statements are false.
