Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pull out like factors:

-4x - 13 = -1 • (4x + 13)

Equation at the end of step 2:

-178 - (-5x + -4 • [4x + 13] ) = 0

Pull out like factors:

21x - 126 = 21 • (x - 6)

Equation at the end of step 4:

21 • (x - 6) = 0

Solve:

x-6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation:

x = 6

Boxes of raisins are labeled as containing 22 ounces. Following are the weights, in the ounces, of a sample of 12 boxes. It is r

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

A 90% confidence interval for the mean weight is [21.78 ounces, 21.98 ounces].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the weights, in the ounces, of a sample of 12 boxes below;

Weights (X): 21.88, 21.76, 22.14, 21.63, 21.81, 22.12, 21.97, 21.57, 21.75, 21.96, 22.20, 21.80.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean weight = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$ = 21.88 ounces

s = sample standard deviation = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }$ = 0.201 ounces

n = sample of boxes = 12

$\mu$ = population mean weight

Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used a One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 90% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.796 < $t_1_1$ < 1.796) = 0.90 {As the critical value of t at 11 degrees of

freedom are -1.796 & 1.796 with P = 5%}

P(-1.796 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.796) = 0.90

P( $-1.796 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $1.796 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

P( $\bar X-1.796 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+1.796 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

90% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.796 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.796 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $21.88-1.796 \times {\frac{0.201}{\sqrt{12} } }$ , $21.88+1.796 \times {\frac{0.201}{\sqrt{12} } }$ ]

= [21.78, 21.98]

Therefore, a 90% confidence interval for the mean weight is [21.78 ounces, 21.98 ounces].

Which value of b would make 16x²-bx + 25 a perfect square trinomial?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

b = 40 and -40

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of Perfect square trinomial is a 2 + 2 a b + b 2

Therefore from 16 x 2 − b x + 25 a 2 = √ 16 x 2 , b 2 = 25 , then a = ± 4 x , b = ± 5 take consideration a=4x and b=-5 (different sign), then − b x = 2 ( 4 x ) ( − 5 ) − b x = − 40 x b = 40

The perfect square is ( 4 x − 5 ) 2 = 16 x 2 − 40 x + 25 .

if we consider a=4x and b=5 (same sign), then − b x = 2 ( 4 x ) ( 5 ) − b x = 40 x b = − 40

The perfect square is ( 4 x + 5 ) 2 = 16 x 2 + 40 x + 25 .

The first solution ( 4 x − 5 ) 2 is the best solution after comparing the expression given. I hope this helps, xx .

What is the area of the rhombus (figure only show one part of the diagonals)

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

60 cm^2 (dark blue)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a rhombus's diagonal bisect each other, the diagonal's full length is 10 and 12. From there the area is 10*12 / 2 which is 60
