If you need explaining think of it as....a number line. Zero is in the middle with negative numbers going down the left and positive numbers going down the right. Put a mark on -10 and move to the right 2 times. That would give you an answer of -8.

Hope this helps!
Let me know if i'm wrong.

What is the solution to the equation 4x-6=10x-3

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 6 = 10x - 3

+6 +6

4x = 10x + 3

-10x -10x

-6x = 3

/-6 /-6

x = -1/2

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Confidence interval: (0.04649,0.04913)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 100,000

Number of people who donated, x = 4781

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{4781}{100000} = 0.04781
$

95% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.04781
\pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04781
(1-0.04781
)}{100000}})\\\\=0.04781
\pm 0.00132\\\\=(0.04649,0.04913)$

is the required 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of their entire mailing list who may donate.

Suppose that a college determines the following distribution for X = number of courses taken by a full-time student this semeste

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) = 3*0.07 +4*0.4 +5*0.25 +6*0.28= 4.74$ In order to find the variance we need to calculate first the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i) = 3^2*0.07 +4^2*0.4 +5^2*0.25 +6^2*0.28= 23.36$ And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) +[E(X)]^2 = 23.36 -[4.74]^2 = 0.8924$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{0.8924} =0.9447$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X 3 4 5 6

P(X) 0.07 0.4 0.25 0.28

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) = 3*0.07 +4*0.4 +5*0.25 +6*0.28= 4.74$

In order to find the variance we need to calculate first the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i) = 3^2*0.07 +4^2*0.4 +5^2*0.25 +6^2*0.28= 23.36$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) +[E(X)]^2 = 23.36 -[4.74]^2 = 0.8924$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{0.8924} =0.9447$

Gabrielle's age is three times Mikhail's age. The sum of their ages is 56, what is Mikhail’s age?

4vir4ik [10]

Gabrielle's age is 3x (in which x is mikhail's age)
the sum is 56 so 3x+x=56

3x+x=56
4x=56
x=14

since x was mikhail's age, mikhail is 14 years old
