Answer: -6/7

Step-by-step explanation: 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

                                             5 + - 6x = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 - 8x = 8x + 17 - 8x

                                            -14x + 5 = 17

                                            -14x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

                                           -14x = 12

                                            -14x/-14 = 12/-14

                                             x = -6/7

Convert 48°36'12" to the nearest thousandth of a degree
uranmaximum [27]

48 degrees remains

divide minutes by 60

36/60 = 0.6

then divide seconds by 3600

12/3600=0.003 ( to nearest thousandth)

now add them all up

48 +0.6 + 0.003 = 48.603 degrees

The General Social Survey asked a large number of people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Yes, we can conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers is less than 2.66

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : σ² = 2.66²

H1 : σ² < 2.66²

X²c = (n - 1)*s² ÷ σ²

sample size, n = 40

Sample standard deviation, s = 1.9

X²c = ((40 - 1) * 1.9²) ÷ 2.66²

X²c = 140.79 ÷ 7.0756

X²c = 19.897

Using a confidence level of 95%

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; df = 40 - 1 = 39

The critical value using the chi distribution table is 25.6954

Comparing the test statistic with the critical value :

19.897 < 25.6954

Test statistic < Critical value ; Reject the Null

Hence, we can conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers is less than 2.66
