-2/3 b + 4 = 0

Add -4 to both sides to eliminate the 4 on the left:

-2/3 b + 4 - 4 = - 4

-2/3 b = -4

Multiply both sides by -3/2 to eliminate the -2/3 on the left:

-3/2 • (-2/3 b) = -3/2 • 4

b = -12/2

Simplify the solution:

b = -6

Jeremy buys 2 sweaters for $18 each. He can use only one of the following coupons:

katen-ka-za [31]

Jeremy should use coupon 2 because when you multiply both the sweaters (36) by .25 you get 9, and then you subtract 36 by 9 which is 27.

But when you use coupon 1 you multiply 18 by .40 which is 7.20 where you subtract 18 by 7.20 which is 10.80. You then add 10.80 with 18 which is 28.80.

I don't even know what the question is but I found the same problem and this was the answer

What is the exact value of x? 5⋅21^5x=16

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

x= 16 /20420505

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(215)x=16

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

20420505x=16

Step 2: Divide both sides by 20420505.

20420505x /20420505 = 16 /20420505

x= 16 /20420505

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 59.5 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0124 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 59.5 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is the same, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 59.5$

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that it is different, that is:

$H_a: \mu \neq 59.5$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

59.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 59.5$

After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 59.2. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.9.

This means that $n = 250, X = 59.2, \sigma = 1.9$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{59.2 - 59.5}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{250}}}$

$z = -2.5$

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of finding a mean that differs from 59.5 by at least 0.3, which is P(|Z|>-2.5), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of Z = -2.5.

Looking at the z-table, Z = -2.5 has a pvalue of 0.0062

2*0.0062 = 0.0124

The pvalue of the test is 0.0124 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim.
