F ( x ) = k * x²
f ( 4 ) = 96
96 = k * 4²
96 = 16 k
k = 96 : 16
k = 6
f ( 2 ) = 6 * 2² = 6 * 4 = 24
Answer: D ) 24

The equation 2.2x − 4.4 = 1.8x can be transformed to form which of the following expressions?

Anna35 [415]

The answer to this mathematical question would be "0.4x = 4.4". I simply subtracted 1.8x to both sides of the equation (following the subtraction property of equations) and then added 4.4 to both sides of the equation (following the addition property of equations). Thus, we arrive to the answer, 0.4x = 4.4.

Begin by subtracting 1/8 from both sides to get $- \frac{2}{x} =5- \frac{1}{8}$ and get a common denominator of 8 on the right: $- \frac{2}{x} = \frac{40}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$ . Now simplify and cross-multiply: 39x = -16 andx = -16/39

A teacher was interested in knowing the amount of physical activity that his students were engaged in daily. He randomly sampled

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we don't know the standard deviation of the population, we can estimate the standard error of the mean from the standard deviation of the sample as:

$\sigma_{\bar{x}}\approx\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The sample is [30mins, 40 mins, 60 mins, 80 mins, 20 mins, 85 mins]. The size of the sample is n=6.

The mean of the sample is:

$\bar{x}=\frac{1}n} \sum x_i =\frac{30+40+60+80+20+85}{6}=52.5$

The standard deviation of the sample is calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_i-\bar x)^2} \\\\ s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot ((30-52.5)^2+(40-52.5)^2+(60-52.5)^2+(80-52.5)^2+(20-52.5)^2+(85-52.5)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5} *3587.5}=\sqrt{717.5}=26.8$
