Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3=15

Subtract 3 from both sides (3-3), 15-3

2x=12

Divide by 2 on both sides (2/2), 12/2=6

x=6

In studies for a medication, 3 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 643 patients are randomly selected.

timofeeve [1]

Part a)

It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.

This means

$p = 0.03$

$q = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97$

The mean is

$\mu = np$

$\mu = 643 \times 0.03 = 19.29$

The standard deviation is

$\sigma = \sqrt{npq}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{643 \times 0.03 \times 0.97}$

$\sigma =4.33$

We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.

P(X=24)

We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)

P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores.

$P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 24.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \: \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \: 1.20) \\ = 0.051$

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≤24)

We apply the continuity correction factor to get;

P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores to get:

$P(X \: < \: 24.5) = P(z \: < \: \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P(z \: < \: 1.20) \\ = 0.8849$

Part c)

We want to find the probability that

11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≥11)

Apply correction factor to get:

P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)

We convert to z-scores:

$P(X \: > \: 10.5) = P(z \: > \: \frac{10.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P(z \: > \: - 2.03)$

$= 0.9788$

Part d)

We want to find the probability that:

between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.

P(24≤X≤28)=

P(23.5≤X≤28.5)

Convert to z-scores:

$P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 28.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \: \frac{28.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \: 2.13) \\ = 0.1494$

Gabriela has dinner at a cafe and the cost of her meal is \$45.00$45.00dollar sign, 45, point, 00. Because of the service, she w

Olegator [25]

The total bill amount before the service fee is given as $45.
We are given that the tip she wants to leave is 15% of the bill amount, this means that:
tip value = 0.15 * 45 = 6.75$

The total bill would be the summation of the original bill and the tip value she left.

Total bill amount = 45 + 6.75 = 51.75$

The table shows the amount of sugar needed to make lemonade. Are the quantities proportional? Explain which method you used and

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first sugar and servings part, 4 for sugar, 2 for servings.

The ratio for this example above it for sugars to servings it 2:1. So every 2 sugars is every 1 serving and this applies to every other of the sugars and servings in the table.
