Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

move all terms to the left:

-1.5x+12-(2.5x-12)=0

get rid of parentheses

-1.5x-2.5x+12+12=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variable.

-4x+24=0

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-4x=-24

x=-24/-4 - divide

x=+6

How do you multiply decimals?

Ulleksa [173]

I found this online, hope it helps

Just follow these steps:
Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.

Milo is a running back on his middle school football team. On his first running play he netted -8 yards, and on his second runni

lidiya [134]

To find average, add up the values given and then divide that number by the amount of values that you added to make the larger number.
For example:
If he ran -8 yards first and -6 yards second and they are asking you to find the average, add -8 and -6. You get -14. If you then divide by 2 because you added 2 numbers together, you end up with -7.

Hope this helps!

A doctor released the results of clinical trials for a vaccine to prevent a particular disease. In these clinical trials, 200,0

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1) No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective (P-value=0.104) .

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0$

being the subindex 1 for the experimental group and subindex 2 for the control group.

2) Test statistic z=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the vaccine was effective.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0$

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample 1 (experimental group), of size n1=100000 has a proportion of p1=0.0002.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=21/100000=0.0002$

The sample 2 (control group), of size n2=100000 has a proportion of p2=0.0003.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=30/100000=0.0003$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.0001.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.0002-0.0003=-0.0001$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{21+30}{100000+100000}=\dfrac{51}{200000}=0.00026$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.00026*0.99974}{100000}+\dfrac{0.00026*0.99974}{100000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0+0.0000000025}=\sqrt{0.0000000051}=0.000071$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{-0.00009-0}{0.000071}=\dfrac{-0.00009}{0.000071}=-1.26$

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$P-value=P(z$

As the P-value (0.104) is bigger 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 vaccine was effective.
