Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x-15)/2 = 4x
Multiply each side by 2
(3x-15)/2 *2= 4x*2
3x-15 = 8x
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-15-3x = 8x-3x
-15 = 5x
Divide each side by 5
-15/5 = 5x/5
-3 =x

Answer:
Z=2.36
P=0.0091
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypothesis is:
π > 0.55 which is the population proportion
The formula to get the test statistic is
Zstat = P-π/√π(1-π)/n
P =507.4/860 = 0.59 (sample proportion )
n =860 (sample size)
π =0.55(population porportion)
Zstat = 0.59-0.55/√0.55(1-0.55)/860
Zstat =2.36
From Z table the probability of Z score of 2.36 is 0.9909
To calculate for P- value will then be
P= 1 - 0.9909
P= 0.0091
Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
The tricky part of this is figuring out how to assign the unknowns. We are told that we are working with two consecutive even integers. Consecutive means "next to" or "in order" and sum means to add. If we use 2 and 4 as examples of our 2 consecutive even integers and assign x to 2, then in order to get from 2 to 4 we have to add 2. So the lesser of the 2 integers is x, and the next one in order will be x + 2. (2 and 4 are just used as examples; they mean nothing to the solving of this particular problem. You could pick any 2 even consecutive integers and find the same rule applies. All we are doing here with the example numbers is finding a rule for our integers.) Now we have the 2 expressions for the integers, we will add them together and set the sum equal to 158:
x + (x + 2) = 158
The parenthesis are unnecessary since we are adding, so when we combine like terms we get
2x + 2 = 158 and
2x = 156 and
x = 78
That means that the lesser of the 2 integers in 78, and the next one in order would be 80, and 78 + 80 = 158
