Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −5x − 16 = 8 Step 1:

−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16 Step 2: −5x = 24 Step 3: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five Step 4: x = twenty-four over five

Malloy error was in step 3, Malloy put -5x over 5 = 24 over 5, but the correct way to do step 3 is -5x over -5 = 24 over -5 which then x would equal to 24 over -5 or x = -4.8 in simpler terms

A distance AB is observed repeatedly using the same equipment and procedures, and the results, in meters, are listed below: 67.4
skad [1K]

Answer:

a) \bar X =\frac{67.401+67.400+67.402+67.396+67.406+67.401+67.396+67.401+67.405+67.404}{10}=67.401

b) The sample deviation is calculated from the following formula:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And for this case after replace the values and with the sample mean already calculated we got:

s=0.0036

If we assume that the data represent a population then the standard deviation would be given by:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And then the deviation would be:

\sigma =0.00319

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following dataset:

67.401, 67.400, 67.402, 67.396, 67.406, 67.401, 67.396, 67.401, 67.405, and 67.404

Part a: Determine the most probable value.

For this case the most probably value would be the sample mean given by this formula:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And if we replace we got:

\bar X =\frac{67.401+67.400+67.402+67.396+67.406+67.401+67.396+67.401+67.405+67.404}{10}=67.401

Part b: Determine the standard deviation

The sample deviation is calculated from the following formula:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And for this case after replace the values and with the sample mean already calculated we got:

s=0.0036

If we assume that the data represent a population then the standard deviation would be given by:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And then the deviation would be:

\sigma =0.00319
