Answer:

<em>The temperature six hours ago was 13 °F</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Six hours ago the temperature was x degrees.

The temperature now is "6 degrees less than twice the temperature that it was six hours ago."

The temperature now is 2x - 6.

The temperature now is 20 deg.

2x - 6 = 20

2x = 26

x = 13

Answer: The temperature six hours ago was 13 °F.

Answer:

13) 7 + x/2 = 10

14)  2x - 5 = 7

15) 4x - 1 = 11

16) 6x - 6 = 12

17) x/3 + 10 = 12

18) 2x + 7 = 1

19) 9 + x/7 = 11

20) 8(n - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of x and 2 = x ÷ 2 = x/2

The product is the result of multiplying two or more other numbers

The sum is the result of adding two or more numbers

The difference is the result of subtracting one number from another

13) 7 + x/2 = 10

14)  2x - 5 = 7

15) 4x - 1 = 11

16) 6x - 6 = 12

17) x/3 + 10 = 12

18) 2x + 7 = 1

19) 9 + x/7 = 11

20) 8(n - 3)

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

0.01  is alpha level

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a survey of a magazine of 1500 adults revealed that 12% chose chocolate pie.

i.e. p = proportion of people who like chocolate pie = 0.12

Margin of error = ±0.03

The value of   q  =1-\hat p , =1-0.12 = 0.88


The sample size n  is given as 1500. Therefore,  n=1500

The confidence level is given as 99%

Hence alpha = 1- confidence level


=1-0.99=0.01

Hence answer is 0.01
