5x+1.5=7
-1.5 -1.5
--------------
5x = 5.5
---- ------
5 5

x = 1.1

subtract 1.5 from both sides, then with that answer, you divide it by 5.
x = 1.1

First thing we are going to do to solve this is to subtract 1.5 from both sides so:
5x+1.5−1.5=7−1.5
5x=5.5
Next we are going to divide from both sides by 5 so:
5x/5=5.5/5
Finally your final answer shall be:
x=1.1

I hope this helps!

A grower believes that one in five of his citrus trees are infected with the citrus red mite. How large a sample should be taken

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=1$ number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

$n=5$ random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$ estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

$p$ true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical values we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical values would be given by:

$t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.96})^2}=6146.56$

And rounded up we have that n=6147

Determine the equation of the parabola shown in the diagram in factored form. (check picture below)

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$(x+1)(x-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: $a(x\pm a)(x \pm b)$ where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: $a(x+1)(x-3)$ . Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)
