Answer:

8 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

- 18 = -3x + 6

Subtract 6 from each side

-18-6 = -3x+6-6

-24 = -3x

Divide each side by -3

-24/-3 = -3x/-3

8 =x

Answer:

x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{}$

=> -3x+6 = -18

=> -3x+6-6= -8-6

=> -3x= -24

=> x= 8

What is 0.66666666666 as a fraction

stellarik [79]

To turn $0.(6)=0.6666...$ into a fraction you should do such steps:

1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .

2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by $10^n$ to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by $10^1 = 10$ . Thus, you have $10x = 10 \cdot 0.666...$ or $10x = 6.666....$ .

3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore, $10x-x=6.666...-0.666...\\ 9x=6$ .

4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction: $9x = 6$ . If you divide both sides by 9, you get $x=\dfrac{6}{9}$ . When simplified, you get that $x=\dfrac{2}{3}$ .

Answer: $0.(6)=0.666... =\dfrac{2}{3}$ .

A manufacturer reported a sample mean = 22.0 g and a sample standard deviation = 2.5 g based on a sample of 20 of their products

tester [92]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.640(2.5)}{2})^2 =4.2 \approx 5$

So the answer for this case would be n=5 rounded up to the nearest integer

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".

$\bar X=22$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=2.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME = 2 represent the margin of error accepted

Solution to the problem

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

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

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (2)

And on this case we have that ME =2 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (2) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2$ (3)

We can use as estimator for the population deviation the sample deviation $\hat \sigma = s$

The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.05;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=1.640$ , replacing into formula (3) we got:
