Answer:

x = 6.5 or 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x − 1) = 2x + 35

distribute the 4 to 2x - 1

8x - 4 = 2x + 35

subtract 2x

6x - 4 = 35

add 4

6x = 39

divide by 6

x = 6.5 or 13/2

What is the total monthly payment for this mortgage? Principal Per Month $750 Interest Per Month $120 Property Tax Per Year 0.5

m_a_m_a [10]

Its $1,011.66. .5% of 140000 is 700, you have to divide by 12 to get tax for one month. which is 58.333. same with home insurance 460/12 which is 38.33. let's add them. 750+120+58.33+38.33+45= 1011.66.

Answer:

$8.2-2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=6.86$

$8.2+2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=9.54$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (6.86;9.54) And the error is given by:

$ME= 2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}} =1.338$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=8.2$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=2.2$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$
