Answer:

Yeah the answer is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

9-x/ 5= 3

9-x = 15 (5 times three)

-x = 6 (9-6)

x= -6 ( a variable can never Be negative, but we have to give the minus to 6)

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

$9 - \frac{x}{5} = 3 \\ 9 - 5 \times \frac{x}{5} = 3 \times 5 \\ 9 - x = 15 \\ - 9 - x = - 9 + 15 \\ - x = 6 \\ - x \div - 1 = 6 \div - 1 \\ x = - 6$

Answer:

The required probability is 0.533.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The actual weight of the chocolate has a uniform distribution ranging from 31 to 32.5 ounces.

Let x is the random variable for the actual weight of chocolate.

According to PDF function.

$P(a\leq x\leq b)=\int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx$

Where $f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{b-a} & a$

It is given that ranging from 31 to 32.5 ounces.

Substitute a=31 and b=32.5 in above function.

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{32.5-31} & 31$

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{1.5} & 31$

We need to find the probability that a box weighs less than 31.8 ounces

Now according to PDF:

$P(x$

Hence, the required probability is 0.533.
