Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

3 − 9 = −42

3 − 9 + 9 = −42 + 9

Simplify

Add the numbers

3 = −33

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3 = −33

3/3 = −33/3

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

= −11

When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 49 b

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A shipment contains 6000 batteries, and 1% of them do not meet specifications.

Sample size =49

If x is the number of batteries not meeting specifications then

x is binomial with n =49 and p = 0.01

Because i) each toy is independent of the other

ii) There are only two outcomes

Probability whole shipment is accepted = Prob (X≤3)

=0.9885

Hence almost all shipments would be accepted.

Walter’s history test scores and Janine’s history test scores are shown on the dot plot below.

Usimov [2.4K]

Hiya!

Right now, both of their medians are 86. This means that both will get the same median if a 65 was added.

I believe A.) would be the correct answer, given it's pretty far away from 83 or 84. My second answer would be B.), but I'm not sure.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one! :)

A circle has its center at (0,0) and passes through the point (0,9). What is the standard equation of the circle?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x^2+y^2=9^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where the center of a circle is (h,k) and r is the radius of the circle. In this case because a circle is equidistant from the center and we have a point where it passes through 9 that means that the radius is 9. However, since the standard equation states that we must write r in the form of $r^2$ this means that $r^2=9^2$ . Therefore by plugging in the values we have:
