Ok... let's break it apart and put it back together.

There's an absolute value... "2x-4" is inside the absolute value. The absolute value of "2x-4" is equal to the value of 8... so find x.

There are TWO cases:

(2x-4)=8
OR
-(2x-4)=8

Now you should be able to solve it. If you can't... well, just ask me below. I can't do ALL the work, can I?

|2x - 4| = 8 ⇔ 2x - 4 = -8 or 2x - 4 = 8 |add 4 to both sides

2x = -4 or 2x = 12 |divide both sides by 2

x = -2 or x = 6

Answer:

C. One can be 95% confident that the true proportion of all students receiving financial aid is between 0.52 and 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the confidence interval is a term that defines a range of values with the probability to contain a population value that has an actual degree of confidence.

This is represented in a situation where population means falls in between upper and lower intervals.

Hence, in this case, the correct interpretation is option C: One can be 95% confident that the true proportion of all students receiving financial aid is between 0.52 and 0.66
