Answer:

<u><em>x = -1</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by adding 7 on both sides. 5x-7+7 is 5x, and -12+7 is -5. Then, you get the equation 5x = -5. You have to then divide by 5 on both sides. 5x/5 is x and -5/5 is -1. You would then get that x = -1.

A researcher wishes to estimate the percentage of adults who support abolishing the penny. What size sample should be obtained i
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a) We need a sample size of at least 3109.

b) We need a sample size of at least 4145.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

(a) he uses a previous estimate of 25​%?

we need a sample of size at least n.

n is found when M = 0.02, \pi = 0.25. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.02 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{n}}

0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.25*0.75}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.02}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.02})^{2}

n = 3108.1

We need a sample size of at least 3109.

(b) he does not use any prior​ estimates?

When we do not use any prior estimate, we use \pi = 0.5

So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.02 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.5*0.5}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.5*0.5}}{0.02}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.5*0.5}}{0.02})^{2}

n = 4144.1

Rounding up

We need a sample size of at least 4145.

if you add the digits in a two-digit number and multiply the sum by 7, you get the original number. If you reverse the digits in
ANTONII [103]
Let m the tens digit and n the ones
the Original number is 10m+n
7(m+n) =10m+n
7m+7n=10m+n
6n=3m

Reversing the number 10n+m
10n+m=18+n+m
9n=18
n=2

6n=3m
6(2)=3m
3m=12
m=4
the number is 10m+n=10(4)+2=42

Multiplying to Fractions 
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

B. No. The product of two fractions is the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

For A: A is clearly false because you can multiply any fraction and it doesnt matter what the denominator is.

For B: The first part is correct, which is that to multiply two fractions, they dont have to have like/common denominators, the explanation part is also correct. When we multiply we multiply the numerator to the numerator and the denominator to the denominator.

For C: C is false because the first part says yes and we know that you can multiply any 2 fractions regardless of denominators.

For D: For D the first part is correct however, the explanation section is false you dont multiply the numerator to the denominator.

For E: You don't have to find the equivalent fraction to multiply because you can do that afterward.

I hope this helps, have a blessed day! :D
