What is the value of a in the equation 5a - 10a = 45 when b = 3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

B is unnecessary here, so we can ignore it. The first thing we do in this equation is simplify by adding like terms. 5a-10a=-5a. So, the equation is now -5a=45. To solve a, we need it by itself. To do that, we undo the multiplication by diving both sides of the equation by -5. 45 divided by -5 is -9, and then we have x=-9.

stepan [7]
It's A: L =704cm2; S =936cm2
because your multiplying your length and width (8x9) =72
multiply 72 by the height and you get your answer for S = 936cm2

Suppose 12% of students are veterans. From a sample of 263 students, how unusual would it be to have less than 22 veterans?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Yes, both np and n(1-p) are ≥ 10

Mean = 0.12 ; Standard deviation = 0.02004

Yes. There is a less than 5% chance of this happening by random variation. 0.034839

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

p = 12% = 0.12 ;

Sample size, n = 263

np = 263 * 0.12 = 31.56

n(1 - p) = 263(1 - 0.12) = 263 * 0.88 = 231.44

According to the central limit theorem, distribution of sample proportion approximately follow normal distribution with mean of p = 0.12 and standard deviation sqrt(p*(1 - p)/n) = sqrt (0.12 *0.88)/n = sqrt(0.0004015) = 0.02004

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

x = 22 / 263 = 0.08365

Z = (0.08365 - 0.12) / 0.02004

Z = −1.813872

Z = - 1.814

P(Z < −1.814) = 0.034839 (Z probability calculator)

Yes, it is unusual

0.034 < 0.05 (Hence, There is a less than 5% chance of this happening by random variation.
