Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-1) = 40

Divide each side by -5

-5(x-1)/-5 = 40/-5

x-1 = -8

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = -8+1

x = -7

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-1) = 40

-5x + 5 = 40

5x - 5 = - 40

5x = 5 - 40

5x = - 35

x = -35/5

x = -7

Identify the type I error and the type II error for a hypothesis test of the indicated claim. The percentage of adults who retir
matrenka [14]

Answer:

<u>Type I error: </u>D. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who retire at age 65 is less than or equal to 62 % when it is actually true.

<u>Type II error: </u>A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of adults who retire at age 65 is less than or equal to 62 % when it is actually false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is rejected.

A type II error happens when a false null hypothesis is failed to be rejected.

In this case, where the alternative hypothesis is that "the percentage of adults who retire at age 65 is greater than 62%", the null hypothesis will state that this percentage is not significantly greater than 62%.

A type I error would happen when the conclusion is that the percentage is greater than 62%, when in fact it is not.

A type II error would happen when there is no enough evidence to claim that the percentage is greater than 62%, even when the percentage is in fact greater than 62% (but we still don't have evidence to prove it).

sarah has 4 2/3 m of ribbon. She wants to make hair bows to sell at the craft fair. She knows she wants to make seven bows. How
zysi [14]
This is division. Let’s set up your problem.

I prefer not using mixed numbers. Instead we’ll use 14/3 for the fraction.

So to start off:

14/3 / 7

the 7 can also be 7/1.

use the saying, “keep, change, flip.”

keep the 14/3, change the sign to multiplication, and flip the last fraction.

14/3 x 1/7

now multiply.


14/21 is your fraction. Now simplify.

You get 2/3.

Your answer is:
She should cut the ribbon 2/3 m.
