4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4/x + 4/(x²-9) = 3/(x - 3)

4 / x + 4 / [( x - 3) ( x + 3 )] = 3 / ( x - 3 ) / * x ( x - 3 ) ( x + 3 )

Restrictions : x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 3 , x ≠ 3;

4 ( x + 3 ) ( x - 3 ) + 4 x = 3 x ( x + 3 )

4 ( x² - 9 ) + 4 x = 3 x² + 9 x

4 x² - 36 + 4 x - 3 x² - 9 x = 0

x² - 5 x - 36 = 0

x² - 9 x + 4 x - 36 = 0

x ( x - 9 ) + 4 ( x - 9 ) = 0

( x - 9 ) ( x + 4 ) = 0

x - 9 = 0, or : x + 4 = 0

Answer:

x = 9, x = - 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = πr²h

Isolate h by dividing both sides by πr²

$\frac{V}{\pi r^2}$ = h → C

A simple random sample of 100 observations was taken from a large population. The sample mean and the standard deviation were de

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Se=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error is the standard deviation of a sample population. "It measures the accuracy with which a sample represents a population".

The central limit theorem (CLT) states "that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution, as the sample size becomes larger, assuming that all samples are identical in size, and regardless of the population distribution shape"

The sample mean is defined as:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

And the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

Let X denotes the random variable that measures the particular characteristic of interest. Let, X1, X2, …, Xn be the values of the random variable for the n units of the sample.

As the sample size is large,(>30) it can be assumed that the distribution is normal. The standard error of the sample mean X bar is given by:

$Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
