Answer:

I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both

If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9

If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(5 * -8) = -9

(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9

(5 * -8)/2 = -9

-40/2 = -9

-20 = -9

-20 ≠ -9

1/2(5x - 8) = -9

1(5x -8)/2 = -9

(5x - 8)/2 = -9

2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2

2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -18

+8 +8

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

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2

In a recently administered iq test, the scores were distributed normally, with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. what proporti

iragen [17]

To solve for proportion we make use of the z statistic. The procedure is to solve for the value of the z score and then locate for the proportion using the standard distribution tables. The formula for z score is:

z = (X – μ) / σ

where X is the sample value, μ is the mean value and σ is the standard deviation

when X = 70

z1 = (70 – 100) / 15 = -2

Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P1 = 0.0228

when X = 130

z2 = (130 – 100) /15 = 2

Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P2 = 0.9772

Therefore the proportion between X of 70 and 130 is:

P (70<X<130) = P2 – P1

P (70<X<130) = 0.9772 - 0.0228

P (70<X<130) = 0.9544

Therefore 0.9544 or 95.44% of the test takers scored between 70 and 130.

maks197457 [2]

Step 1: 1/10 + 1/10 = 2/10

Step 2: 4/5 - 2/10
GCF: multiply both sides of 4/5 by 2 = 8/10

Step 3: 8/10 - 2-10 = 6/10

ANSWER: C <span>fraction 6 over 10, because fraction 4 over 5 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 10 equals fraction 4 over 5 minus fraction 2 over 10 </span>
