Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add x to both sides.

3x+5+x=-7

Simplify 3x+5+x to 4x+5.

4x+5=-7

Subtract 5 from both sides.

4x=-7-5

Simplify -7-5 to−12.

4x=-12

Divide both sides by 4.

x=− 12/4

Simplify 12/4 to 3

The sum of 6 consecutive integers is 204. what is the fourth number in this sequence?

zloy xaker [14]

Let $x$ by the smallest of the 6 integers. Then

$x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)=204$

$\implies6x+15=204$

$\implies6x=189$

But 189 is odd, so it cannot be divisible by 6, which means $x$ is not an integer...

A die was rolled eight times. The rolls were 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, and 6. What is the mean absolute deviation for this data? A) 1

adoni [48]

Answer:

The correct option is A:

MAD = 1 + 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

For a set of N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The mean is calculated as:

$M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}$

And the mean absolute deviation is calculated as:

$MAD = \frac{Ix_1 - MI + Ix_2 - MI + ...+ IX_n - MI}{N}$

Here we have the set of 8 elements:

{ 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6}

The mean of this set is:

M = (2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6)/8 = 4

Then the mean standard deviation is:

$MAD = \frac{I2 - 4I + I2 - 4I + I3 - 4I + I4 - 4I + I4 - 4I + I5 - 4I + I6 - 4I + I6 - 4I}{8} = 10/8$

If we simplify this, we get:

MAD = 10/8 = 5/4 = (4 + 1)/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 1 + 1/4

MAD = 1 + 1/4

The correct option is A.

Wren bought a baseball card last year for $2.25. This year the price dropped to $.45. What was the percent of decrease in the pr

const2013 [10]

The price:
- last year: $2.25
- this year: $.45
The decrease: $2.25 - $.45 = $1.80
2.25 : 1.80 = 100 : x
2.25 x = 180
x = 180 : 2.25
x = 80
Answer:
The percent of decrease is A ) 80%

Three components are randomly sampled, one at a time, from a large lot. As each component is selected, it is tested. If it passe

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The probability of SFS and SSF are same, i.e. P (SFS) = P (SSF) = 0.1311.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a component passing the test is, P (S) = 0.79.

The probability that a component fails the test is, P (F) = 1 - 0.79 = 0.21.

Three components are sampled.

Compute the probability of the test result as SFS as follows:

P (SFS) = P (S) × P (F) × P (S)

$=0.79\times0.21\times0.79\\=0.131061\\\approx0.1311$

Compute the probability of the test result as SSF as follows:

P (SSF) = P (S) × P (S) × P (F)

$=0.79\times0.79\times0.21\\=0.131061\\\approx0.1311$

Thus, the probability of SFS and SSF are same, i.e. P (SFS) = P (SSF) = 0.1311.
