Answer:

$3(x - 6) - 8x = - 2 + 5(2x + 1) \\ 3x - 18 - 8x + 2 - 10x - 5 = 0 \\ = > - 15x - 21 = 0 = > - 15x = 21 = > x = - \frac{7}{5}$

Some one plz help meh I need to understand and I dont

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

It's asking you to find the inputs of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, when you input something, you replace "x" in the equation with the number you want to input. For example, if I had the equation: 5x/6+5, then I wanted to input "5", then 5 would replace x in the equation, making 5(5)/6+5. The output they are giving you is simply evaluating the equation that you used to input x, so basically in the case I gave you, the output would be 5(5)/6+5, or 25/6+5, and 55/6. Using the outputs, they want you to find the inputs.

The heights of 40 randomly chosen men are measured and found to follow a normal distribution. An average height of 175 cm is obt

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

95% two-sided confidence interval for the true mean heights of men is [168.8 cm , 181.2 cm].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the heights of 40 randomly chosen men are measured and found to follow a normal distribution.

An average height of 175 cm is obtained. The standard deviation of men's heights is 20 cm.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the true mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average height = 175 cm

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 20 cm

n = sample of men = 40

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the true mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $1.96 \times }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\bar X-1.96 \times }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+1.96 \times }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.96 \times }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.96 \times }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $175-1.96 \times }{\frac{20}{\sqrt{40} } }$ , $175+1.96 \times }{\frac{20}{\sqrt{40} } }$ ]

= [168.8 cm , 181.2 cm]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the true mean height of men is [168.8 cm , 181.2 cm].

The interpretation of the above interval is that we are 95% confident that the true mean height of men will be between 168.8 cm and 181.2 cm.

Why does -5/10 equal 5/-10 ? explain..

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

-5/10 equals to 5/-10 because even though the numerator/denominator is negative, when you simplify -5/10 or 5/-10, it give you -1/2 and 1/-2.
