If X is a random variable representing test scores, then the 41st percentile is the score x such that P(X\le x)=0.41. Transform X to the random variable Z that follows the standard normal distribution via X=31.5+7.3Z:

P(X\le x)=P\left(\dfrac{X-31.5}{7.3}\le\dfrac{x-31.5}{7.3}\right)=P\left(Z\le\dfrac{x-31.5}{7.3}\right)=0.41

The z-score for the 41st percentile is about -0.2275, so

\dfrac{x-31.5}{7.3}\approx-0.2275\implies\boxed{x\approx29.8}

Answer:

b. multinomial population

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is an example of a multinomial population.

The correct answer is:

-4(2x + 4) > 8x + 64
romanna [79]

Hello there I hope you are having a great day :)

Your Question, -4(2x + 4) > 8x + 64 Solve for X

1) Expand -8x-16>8x+64

2) Add 16 to both sides -8x-16+16>8x+64+16

3) Simplify -8x>8x+80

4) Subtract 8x from both sides -8x-8x>8x+80-8x

5) Simplify -16x>80

6) Multiply both sides -1 (Reverse the inequality) (-16x) (-1) >80 (-1)

7) Simplify 16x<-80

8) divide both sides by 16   16x/16 <  -80/16

9) Simplify x < -5  

This should be your answer x < -5

Hopefully that helps you :)
