Answer:

x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is based on the concept 'when a negative number is multiplied to both sides of the inequality, the sign gets reversed. For example, x > - 2 when it is multiplied by - 1, it becomes - x < 2.'

*only when the number is -ve.

Similarly, in this question, multiply both sides by - 1.

2x > 6

x > 6/2

x > 3

For more : take - 5 > - 2, as you know

Note that 5 is actually greater than 2. To make this true we change signs

The weight of a small Starbucks coffee is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 330 grams and a standard deviati

just olya [345]

Answer:

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 330, \sigma = 12$

a. Highest 20 percent

At least X

100-20 = 80

So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.842 = \frac{X - 330}{12}$

$X - 330 = 12*0.842$

$X = 340.1$

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

What is the area of the given figure in square centimeters? 15 3/4 21 3/8 27 39 3/8

bulgar [2K]

Answer: 21.375 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length x width = 3.5 x 4.4 = 15.75 cm2

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 2.5 x 4.5 = 5.625 cm2

Add rectangle and triangle area = 21.375 cm2

Let f(x)equals=33xminus−1, h(x)equals=startfraction 7 over x plus 5 endfraction 7 x+5 . find (hcircle◦f)(66).

Ronch [10]

$\bf \begin{cases}
f(x)=3x-1\\
h(x)=\cfrac{7}{x+5}\\\\
(h\circ f)(x)=h(~~f(x)~~)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
f(66)=3(66)-1\implies \boxed{f(66)=197}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{h(~~f(x)~~)}{h(~~f(66)~~)}\implies \stackrel{h(~~f(66)~~)}{h\left(~~\boxed{197}~~ \right)}=\cfrac{7}{\boxed{197}+5}\implies h\left(~~\boxed{197}~~ \right)=\cfrac{7}{202}$

Graph the inequality in the coordinate plane:<br><br> x<-3

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Graph of the inequality x< -3 as shown below in the figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality: x < -3

Graph of this inequality as shown below in the figure.

All the points that are lie in the shaded area satisfy the equation x < -3 or

In other words, we can say that x can take any value less than -3 .

x ≠ -3 or any number that is greater than -3.

Since there is a strict inequality i.e x < -3 , the points that lie on the line x = -3 does not satisfy the equation.

Therefore, the dotted line is marked at x = -3
