Answer:

Option C) 5.62 points  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean score = 64

Sample standard deviation, s = 12

Degree of freedom =

=n-1\\=20-1\\=19

We have to calculate margin of error for a 95% confidence interval.

Formula for margin of error:

t_{critical}\times \displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 19 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.093  

2.093\times (\displaystyle\frac{12}{\sqrt{20}} )\\\\ =5.6161\approx 5.62  

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 5.62 points

5x - (x + 3)= 1/3 (9x + 18) - 5
telo118 [61]
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6

3x+6-5

Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3

5x-x-3 = 4x-3

4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1

x=4

The solution 349 is given, and its number 3, 4 and 9 determine how many times 13 can be subtracted:

The first subtraction is 3x13 (x100) = 3900
The second subtraction is 4x13 (x10) = 520
The third subtraction is 6x13 = 78

So the answer is 520, which is also what you get when you subtract 78 from 598 of course.
