Softa [21]3 years ago

Answer:  x can equal -3.2 or -7.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct expression is:

2|x+5.3|=4.2

So, we have an absolute value equation, where it can be positive or negative:

  • Positive

2 (x+5.3)=4.2

2x+10.6 =4.2

2x=4.2-10.6

2x = -6.4

x= -6.4/2

x = -3.2

  • Negative

2[-(x+5.3)]=4.2

-2x-10.6 =4.2

-2x= 4.2+10.6

-2x= 14.8

x= 14.8/-2

x= -7.4

x can equal -3.2 or -7.4.

The sum of two numbers is 31.The product of the two numbers is 150. What are the two numbers?
Nikolay [14]
The two numbers I will call x and y.
x + y = 31
x * y = 150

You then solve for one variable in either equation and substitute it into the other equation.

x + y = 31
x = 31 - y

Then you plug it in:
x * y = 150
(31 - y) * y = 150
-y² + 31y = 150
y² - 31y + 150 = 0            Then factor:
(y - 6)(y - 25) = 0
y - 6 = 0        y - 25 = 0
y = 6             y = 25

When you plug y into the original equations, it comes out that the two numbers are 6 and 25. You can check your work because 6+25 = 31 and 6*25 = 150. Hope this helps! :)

If we reject the null hypothesis, does this mean that we have proved it to be false beyond all doubt? Explain your answer.a. Yes
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Yes, the test was conducted with a risk of a type I error.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we reject the null hypothesis, does this mean that we have proved it to be false beyond all doubt? Explain your answer.

Yes, for a null hypothesis to be rejected, it has being proven beyond all doubt that the null hypothesis will not work. the normal distribution has being used for the probability calculation.

if the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted, a type I error as occur.

In general terms:

‘a hypothesis has been rejected when it should have been accepted’. When this occurs, it is called a type I error.
