Answer:

x = 3 and x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an absolute value equation, you create two equations, one where the right side is negated and one where the right side isn't:

| 2x + 9 | = 15 becomes:

2x + 9 = 15 and 2x + 9 = -15

2x = 6 and 2x = -24

x = 3 and x = -12

Why this works is that |-x| and |x| will both be equal to 0. Remember that absolute value is the distance a number is away from 0.

What is the mean median mode and range of the numbers 31 28 30 31 30 ...?

mamaluj [8]

1. Mean is the number you get when you add all these numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. So, (31 + 28 + 30 + 31 + 30) / 5 = 150 / 5 = 30
2. The median is the middle number in the list of numbers, so, the answer is 30 as well.
3. Mode is the number that appears most often, so here it is 30 and 31 because they both appear 2 times.
4. Range is the difference between the largest and smallest number, so 31 - 28 = 3.

suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.

emmainna [20.7K]

The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks

O,= 12 weeks

The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.
