If you want to find x first, you would have to do:

8x-5=-29

8x-5+5=-29+5

I added 5 to both sides so i can leave 8x by itself. Now by simplifying:

8x=-24

8x/8=-24/8

I divided both sides by 8 so I can leave x by itself to get the answer:

x=-3

Answer:

63 houses have been sold this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 81 houses in the community. If 7/9 are sold this year, then all you have to do is multiplication.

In this case, you would multiply 81 by 7/9 to get your answer.

81/1 x 7/9:

Cancel out the 9 and the 81. Then the denominator will be 1 x 1 and the numerator would be 7 x 9. It would be 63 (7x9=63) over 1 (1x1=1) which is just 63. Make sure to include units.

Talja [164]

Answer:

$7041.43-3.71\frac{1610.27}{\sqrt{7}}=4783.43$

$7041.43+3.71\frac{1610.27}{\sqrt{7}}=9299.43$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (4783.43;9299.43)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following data:

5460 5900 6090 6310 7160 8440 9930

And for this case we can calculate the mean and deviation with the following formulas:

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

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

And replacing we got:

$\bar X=7041.43$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=1610.27 represent the sample standard deviation

n=7 represent the sample size

Calculate the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=7-1=6$

Since the confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,6)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=3.71$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$7041.43-3.71\frac{1610.27}{\sqrt{7}}=4783.43$

$7041.43+3.71\frac{1610.27}{\sqrt{7}}=9299.43$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (4783.43;9299.43)
