Well, i think answer is A
Slope is definitely related to changes
and it is a line, not a figure
<h3><u>The value of x is equal to 8.</u></h3>
3(x + 1) = 19 + x
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
3x + 3 = 19 + x
<em><u>Subtract x from both sides.</u></em>
2x + 3 = 19
<em><u>Subtract 3 from both sides.</u></em>
2x = 16
<em><u>Divide both sides by 2.</u></em>
x = 8
So we are given that the mean is 42% and the sd (standard deviation) is 8%
Assuming our data is normal we can use the 68-95-99 rule
So one thing you should realize is that 42% + 8% is 50% which is passing. That is one standard deviation higher. So we use:
100 - 68 - 13.5 - 2.35 - 0.15 = 16. That means 16% of students passed the test. Which is terrible. They probably need to hit the books more.
Anyways if you have any question feel free to message me!
Hopes this helps!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Take you pick below! (either x 8 or x = 7.01, approx, depending how the question is interpreted)
Discussion:
Interpretation 1
If the question is
2^(x -1) = 128, then as 2^7 = 128,
x-1 = 7 so x = 8
Interpretation 2
If the question is (2^x -1) = 128, then..
2^x = 128 + 1 = 129 =>
log(2^x) = log(129) =>
xlog(2) = log(129) =>
x = log (129) / log2 = 7.01

MrB
