Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

The equation given is:

$\frac{1}{6}x=10$

1/6 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 1/6

$\frac{1}{6}x/\frac{1}{6}=10/\frac{1}{6}$

When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction instead.

To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator.

1/6 ⇒ flip top number and bottom number ⇒ 6/1=6

Replace the division by 1/6 with multiplication by 6.

$\frac{1}{6}x * 6=10*6$

$x= 10 *6$

$x=60$

The solution to this equation is x=60

Amy invested $5,600 in a CD that pays eight percent compounded quarterly. How many years will it take before the CD is worth 8,2

harina [27]

Answer:

It will take 4.858 years before the CD worth 8228.24

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the compound interest

- The formula for compound interest, including principal sum, is:

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

- Where:

• A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

• P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

• r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

• n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

• t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for

- To find the time you can use the formula

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

* Lets solve the problem

∵ P = $5600

∵ A = 8228.24

∵ r = 8/100 = 0.08

∵ n = 4

- Substitute all of these values in the equation of t

∴ t = ln(8228.24/5600) / 4[ln(1 + 0.08/4)] = 4.858 years

* It will take 4.858 years before the CD worth 8228.24

If y varies directly with x and y is -6 when x is 2, what is x when y is -22?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

x = $\frac{22}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 6 when x = 2, then

- 6 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

- 3 = k

y = - 3x ← equation of variation

When y = - 22, then

- 22 = - 3x ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = $\frac{-22}{-3}$ = $\frac{22}{3}$

The 2004 presidential election exit polls from the critical state of Ohio provided the following results. There were 2020 respon

lord [1]

Answer: a) $0.490\leq p\leq0.582$

b) $0.501\leq p$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size of respondents in the exit polls : n= 2020

Number of respondents voted for George Bush = 412

Sample proportion: $\hat{p}=\dfrac{412}{768}\approx0.536$

a) Critical value for 99% confidence level : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.576$

Confidence interval for proportion:-

$\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$=0.536\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.536(1-0.536)}{768}}\\\\=0.536\pm0.046\\\\=(0.490,\ 0.582)$

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of college graduates in Ohio that voted for George Bush: $0.490\leq p\leq0.582$

b) Critical value for 95% confidence level : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Lower confidence bound for the proportion :

$\hat{p}- z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\=0.536-(1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.536(1-0.536)}{768}}\\\\=0.536-0.035=0.501$

Hence, a 95% lower confidence bound for the proportion of college graduates in Ohio that voted for George Bush : $0.501\leq p$
