nordsb [41]2 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -2,

(x - 5) / 2= -6

( (-2) - 5) / 2= -6

(-7) / 2 = -6

-3.5 = - 6

right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -2 cannot exist for this equation.

x=2,

(x - 5) / 2= -6

(2 - 5) / 2= -6

(-3) / 2= -6

-1.5 = - 6

right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= 2 cannot exist for this equation.

x= -17

(x - 5) / 2= -6

( ( -17) - 5) / 2= -6

(- 22) / 2= -6

-11 = -6

right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -17 cannot exist for this equation.

x= -7,

(x - 5) / 2= -6

( ( -7) -5) / 2= -6

(-12) / 2= -6

-6= -6

right hand side equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -7 exist for this equation.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

  C)  Copy AB

Step-by-step explanation:

The general idea is that you copy one segment, then the angle (so you know which direction the other segment goes), then the second segment. Finally, you connect the ends of the segments to complete the triangle.

The given description says you've done the first two parts of this, so you must mark off the length of segment AB in the direction you just constructed. That is, you must ...

  Copy AB.

_____

In the attached figure, the construction did segment AB first, and is about to do segment AC next. The idea is the same. Swap points B and C in your mind to match the description in the problem statement.

mote1985 [20]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : In a restaurant, the proportion of people who order coffee with their dinner is p.

Sample size : n= 144

x= 120

\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{120}{144}=0.83333333\approx0.8333

The null and the alternative hypotheses if you want to test if p is greater than or equal to 0.85 will be :-

Null hypothesis : H_0: p\geq0.85   [ it takes equality (=, ≤, ≥) ]

Alternative hypothesis : H_1: p  [its exactly opposite of null hypothesis]

∵Alternative hypothesis is left tailed, so the test is a left tailed test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z=\dfrac{0.83-0.85}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.85(1-0.85)}{144}}}\\\\=-0.561232257678\approx-0.56

Using z-vale table ,

Critical value for 0.05 significance ( left-tailed test)=-1.645

Since the calculated value of test statistic is greater than the critical value , so we failed to reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion : We have enough evidence to support the claim that p is greater than or equal to 0.85.
