$12x - 36 - 6x \ is \ simplified \ to \ 6(x-6)$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The commutative property of addition states that:

$a+b=b+a$

So applying this property to our expression we have:

$12x - 36 - 6x=-6x+12x-36 \\ \\ \\ So \ here: \\ \\ a=12x-36 \\ \\ b=-6x \\ \\ \\ Combining \ like \ terms: \\ \\ 12x - 36 - 6x=6x-36 \\ \\ \\ Common \ factor \ 6: \\ \\ 12x - 36 - 6x=6(x-6) \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ 12x - 36 - 6x \ is \ simplified \ to \ 6(x-6)$

irakobra [83]

Answer:

A. limited liability

Step-by-step explanation:

Because James has become a shareholder by investing in Walmart, he has the advantage of limited liability. This basically means that he shares in both the gains and the losses of Walmart's business decisions but only up to the amount that he has invested into it. Meaning that if James invested a total of $2000 and Walmart goes under, then he will lose all $2000 but not more than that.

A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and x is used to estimat

zmey [24]

Answer:

a) 0.6426 = 64.26% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean.

b) 0.9544 = 95.44% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
