The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.

1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16

2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16

3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12

4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3

To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.

Answer:

$t_{\alpha/2} = t_{0.05/2} = t_{0.025} = 2.0322$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of size n = 35, $\bar{x} = 92$ and $s = 5$ . As we want to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the value of the true population mean $\mu$ , we should use the pivotal quantity given by $T = \frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{S/\sqrt{n}}$ which comes from the t distribution with n - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34 degrees of freedom. Besides we should use the t-value $t_{\alpha/2} = t_{0.05/2} = t_{0.025} = 2.0322$ , i.e., regarding the t-distribution with 34 degrees of freedom, we have an area of 0.025 above 2.0322 and below the probability density function. The rationale behind this is that $P(-2.0322\leq T\leq 2.0322) = 0.95$ because of the simmetry of the t distribution.
