Two thirds a number plus 4 is 7

Let "x" represent the "unknown number".

To write this as an equation:
_____________________________________
(⅔)x + 4 = 7 .
_____________________________________
To solve this equation (for "x") ;

Let us subtract "4" from EACH SIDE of the equation;

(⅔)x + 4 − 4 = 7 − 4 ;

to get:

(⅔)x = 3 ;

Now, multiple EACH SIDE of the equation by "3" (the denominator of the "fraction") ; to get rid of the "fraction" ;

3(⅔)x = 3*(3) ;

to get: 2x = 9 ;

Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________
2x / 2 = 9 / 2

x = 9/2 = "4 ½ " ; or, write as: " 4.5" .

Lets call the number 'n'
plus means addition
is means the equal sign

so that as an expression would be $\frac{2}{3}$ n+4=7

Centroid of triangle with vertices (0,0) ,(3,0) & (0,-3) is……. [ ]

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

centroid

x=(x1+x2+x3)/3=(0+3+0)/3=3/3=1

y=(y1+y2+y3)/3=(0+0-3)/3=-3/3=-1

centroid =(1,-1)

Answer:

The answer is Parson's Market.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find out how much one pound costs.

For Parson's you take 11.34 and divide it by 6.

11.34 / 6 = 1.89

Then you take how many pounds you are trying to get (7) and multiply it by the price per pound (1.89)

7 * 1.89 = 13.23

An article in The Engineer (Redesign for Suspect Wiring," June 1990) reported the results of an investigation into wiring errors

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors is (0.0005, 0.0095).

b) A sample of 408 is required.

c) A sample of 20465 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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 $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Of 1600 randomly selected aircraft, eight were found to have wiring errors that could display incorrect information to the flight crew.

This means that $n = 1600, \pi = \frac{8}{1600} = 0.005$

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 $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.005 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{1600}} = 0.0005$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.005 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{1600}} = 0.0095$

The 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors is (0.0005, 0.0095).

b. Suppose we use the information in this example to provide a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required to produce an estimate of p that we are 99% confident differs from the true value by at most 0.009?

The margin of error is of:

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

A sample of n is required, and n is found for M = 0.009. So

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

$0.009 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{n}}$

$0.009\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}}{0.009}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}}{0.009})^2$

$n = 407.3$

Rounding up:

A sample of 408 is required.

c. Suppose we did not have a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required if we wanted to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion differs from the true proportion by at most 0.009 regardless of the true value of p?

Since we have no estimate, we use $\pi = 0.5$
