Answer:

2(x + 1) = 10

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2(x + 1) = 10

Solution:

Apply Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

This means multiply 2 with x and 1

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)

2x + 2 = 10

Use Subtraction property of equality

A = B, then A - C = B - C

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

2x = 8 Step 3

Use Division property of equality

It state that if you divide both sides of an equation by same nonzero number then the sides remain equal

Dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

This means value of x is 4

Another method to solve this equation is:

2(x+1)=10

Use Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)

2*(x+1) = 2x + 2

Use commutative property

A + (-B) = (-B) + A

2x + 2 + (-2) = 2x + (-2) + 2

2x + 2 + (-2) = 10 + (-2)

2x + 2 - 2 = 10-2

2x = 8

Using division property

AX = B

AX / A = B / A

X = B/A

This becomes:

2x = 8

2x = 8.

Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 8 / 2

x = 4

5. The superintendent of the local school district claims that the children in her district are brighter, on average, than the g

anygoal [31]

Answer:

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

105, 109, 115, 112, 124, 115, 103, 110, 125, 99

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1117}{10} = 111.7$

Sum of squares of differences = 642.1

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{642.1}{49}} = 8.44$

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 106

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 111.7

Sample size, n = 10

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.44

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 106\\H_A: \mu > 106$

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{111.7 - 106}{\frac{8.44}{\sqrt{10}} } = 2.135$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 9 degree of freedom } = 1.833$

Since,

$t_{stat} > t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Null hypothesis: There is no relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the experiment conducted is to determine whether there is any relationship between the direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

A random sample of 300 balls hit into play in college baseball games is taken. For each ball hit into play, it is recorded whether the ball was hit to the left, center, or right of the field, and whether the ball resulted in a hit or an out.

The regression analysis would be used to determine whether there is any relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

The hypothesis for the regression analysis is defined as follows:

<em>H</em>₀: There is no relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

<em>H</em>ₐ: There is a significant relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

I have a past due balance of $87.50 and my new charges are $75.00. I was also charged a late fee of 15% of my past due balance.

Kitty [74]

Past due balance = $87.50
Late fee = 15% of $87.50 = 0.15*87.50 = $13.125
New charges = $75.00

New total = 87.50 + 13.125 + 75 = $175.625

Answer: The new total is $175.63
