Assuming we're dealing with
, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
<span>In statistics finding percentiles relates to the standard deviation and something called a z-score. For normally distributed data the z-score represents how many standard deviations above or below the mean that group is a part of. The z-score for normally distributed data for the 90th percentile is 1.28. The standard deviation is then multiplied by the z-score to find, in this case, the shotlrtest height needed to be in the 90th percentile of this population. In this case to be in the 90th percentile your height must be 60.27 inches.</span>
