Mathematics
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
5 0

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 2001 polls indicated that 74% of Americans favored mandatory testing of students in public schools as a way to rate the schoo
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The right answer is:

"If 74% of Americans still favor mandatory testing this year, then there is a 1.5% chance that poll results will show 71% or fewer with this opinion."

Step-by-step explanation:

The P-value represents the probability of getting the sample we got, given that the null hypothesis is true. For this reason, it the P-value is lower than the significance level, it means that the sample result is unlikely due to chance, but due to a false null hypothesis.

In this case, the P-value represents a probability P=0.015 of having a sample with proportion p=0.71, given that the population has a proportion π=0.74.

The right answer is:

"If 74% of Americans still favor mandatory testing this year, then there is a 1.5% chance that poll results will show 71% or fewer with this opinion."
