Answer:

The answer is x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you need to distribute the 3/4 * (x + 8). This looks like (3/4) * (x) + (3/4) * (8) = 9

2. Next you simplify the distributed equation, 3/4x + 6 = 9

3. Now subtract 6 from both sides, 3/4x = 3

4. Multiply both sides by 4/3, 4/x * 3/4x = 3 * 4/3

5. Simplify, x = 4

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is regi

Answer:

We conclude that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 513 employed persons and 604 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 287 of the employed persons and 280 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote.

Let $p_1$ = percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote.

$p_2$ = percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1\leq p_2$ {means that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote does not exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1>p_2$ {means that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote}

The test statistics that would be used here Two-sample z test for proportions;

T.S. = $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of employed workers who have registered to vote = $\frac{287}{513}$ = 0.56

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of unemployed workers who have registered to vote = $\frac{280}{604}$ = 0.46

$n_1$ = sample of employed persons = 513

$n_2$ = sample of unemployed persons = 604

So, the test statistics = $\frac{(0.56-0.46)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{513}+\frac{0.46(1-0.46)}{604} } }$

= 3.349

The value of z test statistics is 3.349.

Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of z as 3.349 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of employed workers who have registered to vote exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers who have registered to vote.

Four more than six times a number is at least 40. Find the possible range of values.

Setler [38]

1. Let x = #
2. "Five less than six times a number" can be written as: 6x - 5
3. "is at least" is the same as "greater than or equal to" and can be written as: >=
4. "nine subtracted from two times that number" can be written as: 2x - 9
5. the equation is: 6x - 5 >= 2x - 9
6. solve for x by grouping the x variable terms on one side and the constants on the other side:
6x - 5 >= 2x - 9
-2x +5 -2X +5
4x >= -4
7. divide each side by 4, and you get: x = -1

Zanzabum

1. N is a midpoint of the segment KL, then N has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_K+x_L}{2},\dfrac{y_K+y_L}{2} \right) =\left(\dfrac{0+2a}{2},\dfrac{2b+0}{2} \right) =(a,b).$

2. To find the area of △KNM, the length of the base MK is 2b, and the length of the height is a. So an expression for the area of △KNM is

$A_{KMN}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2b\cdot a=ab.$

3. To find the area of △MNL, the length of the base ML is 2a and the length of the height is b. So an expression for the area of △MNL is

$A_{MNL}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2a\cdot b=ab.$

4. Comparing the expressions for the areas you have that the area $A_{KMN}$ is equal to the area $A_{MNL}$ . This means that the segment from the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the opposite vertex forms two triangles with equal areas.
