Answer:

is the last one

1 - 2n > 5. The solution set is (-∞, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

e are dealing here with two problems:

First, to determine which mathematical statement represents "One less than twice a number is no less than five".

Second, solve n, that is, the solution set for the numbers that solve the inequality.

First Part: Identifying the inequality

"One less than twice a number" can be written as  , where n is the unknown number.

If it is not less than five, thus it is greater (no less) than five. Then, the symbol here is  " > " (greater).

As a result: "One less than twice a number is no less than five" could be rewritten as "One less than twice a number is greater than five", or:

.

Second Part: Finding the solution set

The solution set for this inequality is as follows:

⇒

Subtract -1 from each member of the inequality:

⇒  ⇒  

Multiply each member of the inequality by  (or divide each member by -2). We have to remember here that when we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number (-n), this inverts the inequality, that is:

The solution set is then , which is any value less than -2 (not including -2, because is < and not ≤), and we have infinite negative numbers with such a characteristic. We can write it mathematically as an interval notation:

Solution set for  is .

What is a equivalent fraction and decimal to 3 ones and 7 hundreths
nasty-shy [4]
3 ones = 3
7 hundredths = 7/100

So equivalent fraction is 3 7/100 or 307/100.
Equivalent decimal is: 3.07

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. The highest speed measured was 76.676.6
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports.

The highest speed measured was 76.6 Mbps.

n= 50

X[bar]= 17.95

S= 23.39

a. What is the difference between​ the carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data​ speeds?

If the highest speed is 76.6 and the sample mean is 17.95, the difference is 76.6-17.95= 58.65 Mbps

b. How many standard deviations is that​ [the difference found in part​ (a)]?

To know how many standard deviations is the max value apart from the sample mean, you have to divide the difference between those two values by the standard deviation

Dif/S= 58.65/23.39= 2.507 ≅ 2.51 Standard deviations

c. Convert the​ carrier's highest data speed to a z score.

The value is X= 76.6

Using the formula Z= (X - μ)/ δ= (76.6 - 17.95)/ 23.39= 2.51

d. If we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between minus−2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly​ high, is the​ carrier's highest data speed​ significant?

The Z value corresponding to the highest data speed is 2.51, considerin that is greater than 2 you can assume that it is significant.

I hope it helps!

On a test, wrong answers are worth -5.25 points and right answers are worth 3.5 points. So far, Marshall has one right answer an
Over [174]

Answer:

Marshall's current score is - 1.75 points

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Wrong answers are worth -5.25 points and right answers are worth 3.5 points.

Currently, Marshall has one right answer and one wrong answer.

To determine Marshall's current score, we will multiply the number of right answers has by 3.5 points and multiply the number of wrong answers by -3.5 points and then add the results.

Number of right answers = 1

Number of wrong answers = 1

For the right answer, he has

1 × 3.5 points = 3.5 points

For the wrong answer, he has

1 × - 5.25 points = -5.25 points

Hence, Marshall's current score is

3.5 points + ( -5.25 points) = 3.5 points - 5.25 points

= - 1.75 points.

Hence, Marshall's current score is - 1.75 points.
