Answer:

Yes, x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

3 x - 2 x + 12

Grouping like terms, 3 x - 2 x + 12 = (3 x - 2 x) + 12:

(3 x - 2 x) + 12

3 x - 2 x = x:

Answer: x + 12

Answer:

<em>Yes, it is.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 12 - 2x =

Use the commutative property of addition to change the order of the addition.

= 12 + 3x - 2x

Use the distributive property of addition over multiplication in reverse (which is factoring).

= 12 + x(3 - 2)

Do the operation: 3 - 2 = 1

= 12 + x * 1

Simplify x * 1 to just x.

= 12 + x

Use the commutative property of addition.

= x + 12

There you have x + 12 from 3x + 12 - 2x by using properties and operations.

Answer:

A. Division property of inequality

Step-by-step explanation:,

If a, b and c are any real numbers,

By the division property of inequality,

a = b ⇒ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c},

By the inverse property of multiplication,

a(\frac{1}{a}) = 1

where, 1 is multiplication identity.

By the subtraction property of inequality,

a = b ⇒ a - c = b - c

By transitive property of inequality,

a = b and b = c ⇒ a = c,

Thus, it is clear that,

Division property of inequality is used in step 4.

Option A is correct.

If we reject the null hypothesis, does this mean that we have proved it to be false beyond all doubt? Explain your answer.a. Yes
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Yes, the test was conducted with a risk of a type I error.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we reject the null hypothesis, does this mean that we have proved it to be false beyond all doubt? Explain your answer.

Yes, for a null hypothesis to be rejected, it has being proven beyond all doubt that the null hypothesis will not work. the normal distribution has being used for the probability calculation.

if the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted, a type I error as occur.

In general terms:

‘a hypothesis has been rejected when it should have been accepted’. When this occurs, it is called a type I error.
