Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x + 1 = -14

Subtract 1 from both sides:

3 x + (1 - 1) = -14 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

3 x = -14 - 1

-14 - 1 = -15:

3 x = -15

Divide both sides of 3 x = -15 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-15)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-15)/3

The gcd of -15 and 3 is 3, so (-15)/3 = (3 (-5))/(3×1) = 3/3×-5 = -5:

The lengths of text messages are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 4 characters and an unknown popula

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The answer is " $(25.32, 30.68)$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\bar x = 28\\\\ \sigma = 4\\\\n =26\\\\$

When $98\%$ confidence level so, the z:

$\alpha = 1 - 98\% = 1 - 0.98 = 0.2\\\\\frac{\alpha}{2} =\frac{0.02}{2} = 0.01\\\\Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} = Z_{0.01} = 1.645\ \ \ ( Using \ z \ table )\\\\$

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times ( \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$= 1.645 \times (\frac{4}{\sqrt{26}})\\\\=2.68$

When 98% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,

$\bar x - E < \mu < \bar x + E\\\\28 - 2.68 < \mu < 28 + 2.68\\\\25.32 < \mu < 30.68\\\\(25.32, 30.68)\\\\$

What is the greatest value 20g of flour 3 for 3.50 or 40g of flour for 2 for 9£ which is better for money

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

It is better to buy 20 g of flour 3 for 3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 20g of 3 for 3.50

It means 3 packets of 20 g is 3*20 =60

So, 60g is for 3.50

So, 1 g = $\frac{3.5}{60}$ =0.05833 per gram.

Now, let's find unit rate for 40 g of 2 for 9.

2 packets of 40 gram = 2* 40 =80 grams

So, 80 grams costs 9

So, 1 gram = $\frac{9}{80}$ =0.1125

So, it is better to buy 20 g of flour 3 for 3.50
