8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

mutiply the bracket by -4

(-4)(5) = -20

(-4)(-x)= 4x

8x-20+4x= -44

8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )

12x-20= -44

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

12x-20+20= -44+20

12x= -44+20

12x= -24

divide both sides by 12

12x/12= -24/12

Answer: x= -2

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is (29.54 - 53.46}

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

$\hat X = 41.5$

Se = 6.1

n = 755

a) best estimate $\hat x = 41.5$

b) at 95% confidence interval

$\alpha = 1- 0.95 = 0.05$

$\alpha /2 = 0.025$

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.025} = 1.96$

at 95% confidence interval for [/tex]\mu[/tex]

$\hat x \pm z_{\alpha /2} \times Se$

$41.5 \pm 1.96\times 6.1$

$41.5 \pm 11.96$

The 95% confidence interval is (29.54 - 53.46}

A city police force is made up of 24% females. If there are 72 females on the force, how many males are on the force?

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So $\frac{72}{x+72}$ is the fraction of females in the force.

Thus, we can form the equation:

$\frac{72}{x+72} = 0.24$

$x+72 = \frac{72}{0.24}$

$x = \frac{72}{0.24} -72$

$x = 228$

Thus, the answer is 228 males.
