Answer:

x=-26

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property first (both sides)

you would get

4x+2 = 3x-24

next you will subtract 3x from both sides

1x+2=-24

add 24 to both sides

1x+26=0

move 26 to the other side but since you flipped it you have to make it negative

x=-26

Answer:

a. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that correctly identifies the chip is significantly smaller than 50%.

b. Test statistic z=-1.001

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that the proportion that correctly identifies the chip is significantly smaller than 50%.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi=0.5\\\\H_a:\pi$

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=199.

The sample proportion is p=0.462.

$p=X/n=92/199=0.462$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5*0.5}{199}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001256}=0.035$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.462-0.5+0.5/199}{0.035}=\dfrac{-0.035}{0.035}=-1.001$

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

$\text{P-value}=P(z$

As the P-value (0.16) is greater than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that correctly identifies the chip is significantly smaller than 50%.

Marcia has a licorice rope that is 28 inches long. She wants to cut it into 3,-inch pieces to share with friends. How many piece

diamong [38]

Answer:

9 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

28 inches rope cut into 3-inch pieces

28/3 = 9 1/3

There is no matching answer choice, if given numbers are correct then the answer is 9 full pieces

---------

The close answer choice is 8
28/8 = 3 1/2 or 3.5
So if cut into 3.5 inch pieces then it is 8 full pieces
just in case it was typo 3 instead of 3.5

H(t)=t^2+4t+3 what are the zeroes of the function? Write the smaller t first, and then the larger t second

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

t = - 3, t = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t) = t² + 4t + 3

To find the zeros equate h(t) to zero, that is

t² + 4t + 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 3) which sum to give the coefficient of the t- term

The factors are + 3 and + 1, since

3 × 1 = 3 and 3 + 1 = 4, thus

t² + 4t + 3 = (t + 3)(t + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to 0 and solve for t

t + 3 = 0 ⇒ t = - 3

t + 1 = 0 ⇒ t = - 1

smaller zero is t = - 3

larger zero is t = - 1
