What is the value of x? <br> -2/7x+6+1/7x=18 <br> x=

Alenkinab [10]

$- \frac{2}{7} x$ + 6 + $\frac{1}{7} x$ = 18

First, simplify $\frac{2}{7} x$ to $\frac{2x}{7}$ / Your problem should look like: $-\frac{2x}{7}$ + 6 + $\frac{1}{7} x$ = 18
Second, simplify $\frac{1}{7} x$ to $\frac{x}{7}$ / Your problem should look like: $- \frac{2x}{7}$ + 6 + $\frac{x}{7}$ = 18
Third, simplify $- \frac{2x}{7}$ + 6 + $\frac{x}{7}$ to $- \frac{x}{7}$ + 6 / Your problem should look like: $-\frac{x}{7}$ + 6 = 18
Fourth, regroup terms. / Your problem should look like: 6 - $\frac{x}{7}$ = 18
Fifth, multiply both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: 42 - x = 126
Sixth, subtract 42 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 126 - 42
Seventh, simplify 126 - 42 to 84. / Your problem should look like: -x = 84
Eighth, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -84

Answer: x = -84

A TV station claims that 38% of the 6:00 - 7:00 pm viewing audience watches its evening news program. A consumer group believes

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.340 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{830}}}=-2.374$

$p_v =P(Z$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program is significantly less than 0.38 .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=830 represent the random sample taken

X=282 represent the people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program

$\hat p=\frac{282}{830}=0.340$ estimated proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program

$p_o=0.38$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is less than 0.38:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.38$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.38$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

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

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.340 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{830}}}=-2.374$

4) Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program is significantly less than 0.38 .

What is the pobability that a number cube with six

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of outcomes for fair dice {1,2,3,4,5,6} = 6

Given : Favorable outcome = 5

i.e. Number of favorable outcomes =1

We know that the formula to find the probability for each event is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Then, the probability that the six faces cube will land with the number 5 face up will be :_

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, the required probability = $\dfrac{1}{6}$
