There are several methods you could use, to solve this problem. I'll show you ONE way :)
Working:
- We need to expand the brackets first.
Thus,
multiply 2/3 to each term in side the bracket.
2 × n = 2n then divide 2n to the denominator.
2n ÷ 3 becomes, 2/3n.
Following same method:
2 × -6 = -12
-12 ÷ 3 = -4
Answer for the expanded form is; 2/3n - 4 = 5n - 43.
From here, you need to place the like terms on one side of the equation.
So,
2/3n - 5n = -43 + 4
-13/3n = -39
Then divide the coefficent (-13/3) on both sides.
n = 9
I'll upload a picture of my workings. It cuts of the question, but that's fine, you can still see the working out. Chur
Hope this makes sense :)

Answer:
The standard error of the mean is 4.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we don't know the standard deviation of the population, we can estimate the standard error of the mean from the standard deviation of the sample as:
The sample is [30mins, 40 mins, 60 mins, 80 mins, 20 mins, 85 mins]. The size of the sample is n=6.
The mean of the sample is:
The standard deviation of the sample is calculated as:
Then, we can calculate the standard error of the mean as:
