Answer:

x=-13

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 2) = 3x - 16

5x+10-10=3x-16-10

5x-3x=3x-3x-26

2x/2=-26/2

x=-13

Answer:

The first step when factoring any polynomial is to factor out the GCF. The GCF is the greatest common factor for all the terms of the polynomial. By factoring out the GCF first, the coefficients and constant term of the polynomial will be reduced.

A local grocery store chain has a sushi stand. That sushi stand makes samples for store customers to entice customers to purchas

Liula [17]

Answer: 0.99822

Step-by-step explanation:

Our inter-arrival time follows Poisson distribution with parameter 14 which is in hour so first we have to calculate this in minutes as we have to calculate probability in minutes.

So converting 14 into minutes will give $\frac{14}{60}$ =0.233

Let X=inter-arrival time between two customers

and here $\lambda$ = 0.233

Probability(X is less than or equal to 2 minutes) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)

Now the Poisson distribution has PDF = $\frac{\exp ^{-\lambda }\times \lambda ^{X}}{X!}$

So P(X = 0) = $\frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{0}}{0!}$ = 0.79215

P(X= 1) = $\frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{1}}{1!}$ = 0.18457

P(X=2) = $\frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{2}}{2!}$ = 0.02150

Now adding all three probability gives = 0.79215 +0.18457 + 0.02150=0.99822

faust18 [17]

The z-score is the number of a data value that represents how many standard deviation is it from the mean. It is calculated from the ratio of the difference of a data value and the population mean and the standard deviation of the data set. Having a z-score of zero would mean that the value is the same as the mean. A z-score that is greater than 1 would mean that the value is x standard deviation greater than the mean. If for a certain data, a z-score of positive 2.5 is calculated, then it means that the data is 2.5 standard deviations away and above from the mean of the whole set. In a normal

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The mean is 95 and the standard deviation is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

Population:

Mean 95, Standard deviation 12

Samples of size 36:

By the Central Limit Theorem,

Mean 95

Standard deviation $s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{36}} = 2$
