Please explain 2x+1/2=2/3​

Answer:

x= 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

2x + 1/2= 2/3

You're trying to solve for x. In order to do that you need x by itself. You have to subtract 1/2 from both sides. When you do this you get 2/3 - 1/2. You can't just subtract them, remember, you have to find a common denominator.

2/3

1/2

The common denominator for these two fractions would be 6. to get 2/3 to a denominator of 6, you have to multiply it by 2/2. To get 1/2 to have a denominator of 6, you have to multiply it by 3/3. You then get...

4/6

3/6

Now you can subtract straight across. 4/6-3/6 is equal to 1/6. Ply it back into the equation and you have 2x=1/6. Now you have to divide 2 on both sides. To do this you divide 2x by 2 to get x. Then, you divide 1/6 by two.

Remember when dividing fractions you must flip the second fraction and multiply. What I mean is...

1/6 divided by 2 is the same thing as 1/6 x 1/2. We flipped 2 to get 1/2 and then we multiply straight across. When you do this you get an answer of 1/12.

x=1/12

I really hope this helps! :)

A researcher is 95% confident that the interval from 5.2 hours to 7.8 hours captures u = the true mean amount of time
igor_vitrenko [27]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.

====================================================

Explanation:

The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol \mu which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.

The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8

We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2

Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.

Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.

Answer:

55.5 u^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the quadrilateral into 2 triangles. There are two ways to do this, but I'm only doing one of them.

On the 5-11 triangle, use the two of the lengths and plug them into the triangle area formula. (L x W)/2 = A

5-11 triangle area: 27.5

Do the same for the 7-8 triangle. Plug it into the same formula.

7-8 triangle area: 28

Add the two areas. 27.5 + 28 = 55.5

A TV set contains five circuit boards of type A, five of type B, and four of type C. The probability of failing in its first 500
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

0.903264

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a TV set contains five circuit boards of type A, five of type B, and four of type C. The probability of failing in its first 5000 hours of use is 0.03 for a type A circuit board, 0.04 for a type B circuit board, and 0.03 for a type C circuit board.

Let A' = the event that A fails, B' =  B fails and C'= C fails.

Probability that no circuit board fails = Prob (A'B'C')

= P(A')P(B')P(C')  (since A,B, C are independent, their complements are independent

= (1-0.03)(1-0.04)(1-0.03)

= 0.903264
