3/5 is your answer. Hope this helps. There’s a picture attached with the work.
The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.
<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>
An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.
Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.
WE have been given an equation as;
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.
Case 1: original equation
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
x - 4 = 5x + 12
x - 5x = 12 + 4
-4x = 16
x = -4
Case 2: Opposite equation
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
x - 4 = - (5x + 12)
x - 4 = - 5x - 12
x + 5x = -12 + 4
6x = -8
x = -4/3
Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;
Check:
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
use x = -4
|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12
| -8 | = -20 + 12
8 = -8
Thus, it is Not a solution
Now, |x - 4| = 5x + 12
use x = -4/3
| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12
|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12
|-16/3 | = 16/3
16/3 = 16/3
Thus, it is the Solution.

Answer:
c) .22
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our
level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of
.
So it is z with a pvalue of
, so 
Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
In this question:

Then



Answer:
0.1971 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X represents the event of weighing more than 20 pounds,
Since, the binomial distribution formula is,

Where, 
Given,
The probability of weighing more than 20 pounds, p = 25% = 0.25,
⇒ The probability of not weighing more than 20 pounds, q = 1-p = 0.75
Total number of samples, n = 16,
Hence, the probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds,
