2x^2 + ax = x(2x+ 7)
2x^2 + ax = 2x^2 + 7x
Subtract 2x^2 from both sides
ax = 7x
a = 7

Answer:

The test statistics is $z = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 100

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = \$30000$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu < \$ 30000$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$29,750$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$2,500$

The level of significance is $\alpha =0.05$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

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

=> $z = \frac{29750 - 30000 }{ \frac{ 2500}{ \sqrt{100} } }$

=> $z = -1$

The width-to-height ratio of a certain computer monitor

Mnenie [13.5K]

<h2>24 inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $\frac{\textbf{width of computer monitor}}{\textbf{height of computer monitor}}=\frac{16}{9}$

It is given that $\text{height of computer monitor}=13.5$

$\text{width of computer monitor} =\text{height of computer monitor}\times \frac{16}{9}$

$\text{width of computer monitor}=13.5\times \frac{16}{9} =\frac{216}{9} =24$

Hence the required width in inches is 24.
