Given the equation expressed as:
First, we need to calculate the value of "x" from the given expression.
Step 1: Given the equation 2x + 5 = 8x
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides:
Step 3: Subtract 8x from both sides
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6
Step 5: Get the value of 12x. Substitute x = 5/6 into the expression to have:
Therefore the value of 12x is 10
Answer:
The best point estimate for a confidence interval estimating the population μ is 16 ounces.
The 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean μ is between 15.21 ounces and 16.79 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
The best point estimate for a confidence interval estimating the population μ is
The sample mean, so 16 ounces.
T interval
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 102 - 1 = 101
98% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 101 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 2.36
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 16 - 0.79 = 15.21 ounces
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 16 + 0.79 = 16.79 ounces
The 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean μ is between 15.21 ounces and 16.79 ounces.
You only flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.
================================================
Problem 1
The inequality sign flip happens because we divided both sides by -8.
The graph will have a closed circle at 4 with shading to the left.
Three solutions are x = 0, x = 1, x = 2. You can pick any three numbers you want as long as they are 4 or smaller.
================================================
Problem 2
The graph will have an open circle at 13/3 = 4&1/3 = 4.333 approx. The shading is to the left. No inequality sign flip happens because we divided both sides by a positive number.
Your choice of three solutions is correct. You can pick anything smaller than 4.3333
================================================
Problem 3
The solution set is any value 3 or larger. Three solutions are x = 5, x = 6 and x = 7.
The graph has a closed circle at 3 on the number line. The shading is to the right.
